First Snow Day of the School Year!

We love snow days!  This was the first real snowfall of the season and we got around 10 inches.  School was cancelled and Dan got to go in delayed to work, so we cleared the driveway and had fun!

 Roswell helping clear the driveway.

 Avery was a trooper!  She fell and couldn't get back up, so she crawled in it instead!

 And never cried!  Of course we picked her up though.

 Elliott shoveling.

 Donovan helping Mommy with the walkway to the front door.

 Dan working hard.

 Avery having fun and being cuddly.

 The kids loved eating the snow, only white stuff of course!

 Making snow angels.

 Ross wasn't really sure how to make one but thought it was fun to lay in the snow.

Avery didn't want to go in, but she was done playing in the snow.  She and Daddy watched as we made a little snowman.

Random Pics

We like to dress up around here, so there is always an assortment of things to wear.  Here's some pictures I found on my phone that show some cuteness.

 Avery kitty.  She is so sneaky now and growing big so fast.  For a while we were teaching her how to say "please".  With me she would just keep saying more in sign language and say "mo" but when Dan would ask her to say please, she would turn her head to the side like this and start to bat her eyes!  Lil' stinker!  She learned quick that Daddy is a sucker for a cute girl.  She has since learned to say please the real way.  :)

 She also loves to be a superhero/cowgirl.

 I thought this was cute.  She'd rather eat her plate than her sandwich.

This con has made his way into our lives.  I don't think I posted his picture for Halloween.

Happy Vegetarian's Veteran's Day!

Earlier this week, Elliott came home saying that they learned about Vegetarian Day.  We couldn't figure out what he was talking about, a day for meatless eaters?  We were unaware of such a holiday, so we asked him to tell us more about it.  Then he started telling us that they were singing songs for a special program for it. 

Hmmmm... 

Then we asked when they were singing their songs.  On Friday!  Ah!  Light bulb!  VETERAN's Day!

Dan and I had a good laugh.  We should have known, I think Donovan called it Veterinarian Day when he was in Kindergarten.  All day today they kept slipping and calling it Vegetarian Day.  So I made them a meatless lunch - just to be on the safe side.  just kidding.

We are very grateful for our Veterans!  Both of our Papa's served our country, we also have cousins and other relatives who have served or are currenly serving in the armed forces.  We are very blessed to have wonderful people helping to keep us free.

Here is my wonderful singer Elliott with the songs that his class sang for the Veterans today:

Make a video - it's fun, easy and free!

Dilemma

I haven't blogged in a while, and back in early October I tried to download my memory card so that I could blog and also so that I could send pictures from a service project that we took part in (that I was the only photographer for our group) to the person in charge.  My memory card refused to download.  Now it says I need to format my disk before using.  I'm so mad!  I lost thousands of pictures!  Thank goodness I have been downloading pictures to the computer often, but I still lost about a month's worth of pictures.  The sad thing is that I know that the service project and other photos are lost forever.  The good thing is, I have forgotten my camera a lot lately and have taken pictures with my phone instead, so at least I have those pictures from the missing time frame.  I guess my absentmindedness was a blessing!  Without further ado, I will blog about the things I remember.  :)
