MORE FAMILY FUN:

Our Gravity-Defying Limbo Snowman



Snow Fort (it was rock solid and stood up for about 2 weeks!)

Puppy-Dog-Eyed Snowman

Our slide!
It goes from our pantry to our basement game room and is used for spy missions, to send snacks and treats down to the basement, for races, for entertainment with friends, to wear the kids out, to 'initiate' new friends. The kids somehow climb up it in socks (it's hard!) and have fun riding down it on sleeping bags and someday we'll convince Dad to let us turn it into a waterslide!

Cole's latest Lego creations
(His entire room is basically covered in Legos. He also has a secret room hidden behind a bookshelf-door in his closet that is also full of Legos. He often disappears for hours at a time, no joke, and is always found either reading or creating Lego masterpieces.  He loves to take Lego sets and improve and add on to them.  He is quite the mastermind.)
