Snow!

Well, like most of the pacific Northwest, we have snow! Jeremy was so excited to get to play in the snow with the kids. He came home on his lunch break, and they all headed out. He gave Maeli a lesson in snowballs, which she though was so awesome, especially when he nailed me while I was trying to take a picture of Tucker-Nice.
This is the picture I took about 1 second before getting nailed by said snow ball. Tucker was very concerned about the carrot for the snowman.

Brother and Sister

Awe--don't ever tell Maeli that snow bibs come in anything other than black--we already had to go for pink boots and she is mad as all get out that her coat isn't pink...somethings have to be passed down to brothers and we can't make everyone where pink, can we?

Tucker wasn't completely trusting of this sudden "sweet sister" act.

And I just thought this is the cutest picture...so sweet!

Tucker's Chores

Alright, if you want to go out and play, there are a few things you need to do first:
1-Shovel the porch

2-Finish the fence-Dad can help with the tall parts

Tea Party for the Princesses

Maeli and her "best friend" Ali spent a good 45 minutes getting dressed up and then informed me that the "Princesses" needed a tea party with, "real water, chocolate chips, marshmallows, and some yummy other stuff." I did my best to comply. They played tea party for another hour or so...best bowl of chocolate chips I've ever contributed to anything.

Dad's idea of a bed-time snack?
