A sorted assortment.

I forgot to introduce our One-Day-Snowman.

The kids were pretty proud of him. They both helped roll a snowball. Nathan's got bigger, Melanie's got smaller. Eventually she kicked hers (to roll it the lazy way) which was it's downfall.


A faithful audience. Today as we went shopping (I walked all the blustery blustery windy way there) I had at least two people ask me if I had triplets. OK, so they're bundled up and the size is a bit hard to get exactly, BUT STILL! I didn't think they looked like triplets. But I replied politely anyways.


Hmmm...now what should we do with it?


"Ahem, please be careful. Don't step on my toes--oh wait, I don't have any toes!!"


Oh how the mighty have fallen. I propped him up once, but warned Nathan that that was it. I'm not interested in running out every five minutes to patch a rapidly melting snowman. Nathan almost cried. The snowman definately cried.


"Lemme out!"


"Vroom, vroom.... We're driving a sport car Mom!"
"OK, drive carefully!"
"Erch!"

"OK Melanie, GET OUT!"
(bossy man driver--I'd leave too!)
Later Nathan got mad when he'd parked the car, but Melanie stayed in it and went "vroom".
"No, Melanie, you can't drive now!! It's parked!!!..."

Hyper kids being chased. :)


A lovely project I'm working on is potty training Melanie. It's definately a project. We've tried it a couple time before--but all of this on her own initiative. This time I'm trying to make it a completed project...but we'll see if that lasts.


Unleavened bread anyone? Maybe my yeast is just messed up. 'Cause I have another one just like it...and it's pretty short too. The kids were excited 'cause they thought it was banana bread. Heehee.
