We went to our first school skating party! Here is a picture of me and Emma while we were waiting for our carpool ride to come get us!
The kids had a lot of fun and can't wait to go skating again. (By the way, Emma did not push down that little boy in the background)
Okay..so how could I not run downstairs and grab the camera. I went into Emma's room the other night to find her laying in bed reading. That's normal~ but laying like this?????
So when Porthos isn't cleaning out long lost toys from under the furniture~ he sleeps!!!
The Hutchinson family went to Dave and Buster's to celebrate Dennis' Birthday! Everyone was there and everyone had a great time!
Okay, so a rainbow isn't BIG NEWS..but I couldn't help sharing pictures that Emma took of the rainbow over our house last week!
Here is one end of the rainbow:
and here's the other end:
On with the BIG NEWS.... Drew lost his first tooth!! Well, Drew lost his first tooth the way the teeth are supposed to fall out! Boy was he excited over his wiggly tooth!
Meet our new addition to the family!! He is a 10 week old Cocker Spaniel! His name is Porthos!
Princess isn't too fond of him yet!
He is so laid back and friendly!
The kids just love him and you can tell that the feeling is mutual!!
Well, we are definitely having a winter!!! With temperatures going down into the -teens and highs of +teens...along with lots of snow...and ice. Oh and don't forget there were some days with NO SCHOOL I am ready for some warmth!!! But until then here are some Snowy pictures!
In this picture the kids are looking for the water balloons. Before all of the snow and ice came we filled some water balloons up and hid them in the snow to see what exactly would happen. The next day we received 7 inches of snow!!! It was a lot of fun watching the kids dig around looking for the balloons, or should I say ice boats!
We went sledding!! It was warmer that day~ 23!
I need to work on my action sledding shots!
So even though it was warmer that day we were all still bundled up! Underneath our layers of clothes all of us wore our footy pajamas!! Yes, I own my very own pair of footy jammies!
So then to top off our very long cold ,snowy, icey winter last night our fan in our furnace motor burned up!!! HOORAY! The low last night was around -2 or -5, bus stop weather was 0 and the house was a warm 54!!!! So anyways, thanks Nanny and Papa for the kerosene heater!!!
The part for the furnace will be in tomorrow afternoon.. until then it's movies in the family room under blankets and we will all sleep in my bed with the electric blanket! We are surviving just fine...don't worry! Lots of love! Oh and I just looked at the extended forcast, by next week it will be as warm outside as it was in my house this morning....now that's a heat wave!
