ZOO with Will

We went to the Zoo yesterday with Nana, Kayla, Will and Jack. All week Johnny kept asking "Is today the day we're going to the Zoo with Will and Nana?" He was really excited to get to go with them. They seemed to have a pretty good time and we couldn't have asked for a prettier day.

Bowling

A couple of weeks ago the kids got to go bowling for their cousin Ethan's birthday. It was their first time to go bowling and had a lot of fun. It was a little frustrating for Ben, though. He expected to be as good as at it as he is at Wii bowling and of coarse he wasn't. I had to tell him that we would go again soon, so that he could practice and get better. Thank you to Jen and Scott for such a fun time!!

"Mommy, I Just LOVE Those Mustaches!"

Yesterday, this little angel....


....decided to take a chunk out of Johnny's cheek.





Johnny didn't seem to mind until I told him that it was bleeding. Then he let me know that he HATES blood and that Natalie scratched a hole in his face!!! I cleaned it, put some ointment on it and a band-aid and off he went. Then he came back to me and said "Mommy, I really LOVE those mustaches, I just LOVE them!" I just looked at him as he was rubbing his band-aid. He then looked at me and said "Where's the other side?" I then realized he meant he needed another band-aid to complete his mustache. He wore it all day, 'cause he "just really loves those mustaches".

"I HAVE To Wear My Tutu!!!"

Last Friday, as I was trying to get everyone into the car to take Ben to school, Natalie came running towards me with her tutu in hand. She was yelling, "I have to wear my tutu and princess slippers, I have to!!" I tried to just put on her coat and get her into the car, but she was insistent on wearing them. Needless to say, she got a lot of attention at the school. She was pretty proud of how she looked. I think she started several people's Friday off with a smile.

SNOW!!

Getting ready to go outside. They were so excited!

Making Snow Angels




Here they are making snow angels. Ben had no problem making several of them. Notice Johnny is halfway on the walkway and halfway on the grass. He was so excited that as soon as he was out the door, he dropped down to make one. And our Natalie is such a girl. She wouldn't put her head down in the snow. She held it up the entire time she was making her angel.

We had this family photo taken back in October. I am a little slow on getting it on our blog.
