Lately...

The lingering snow has been put to good use.

Penguins took up residence in the backyard.

Chloe & her friend Emily created this using snow, a bucket, and ....spray paint.

While getting ice water for dinner I find the ice dispenser is clogged.

With a very large icicle. Aidan has been collecting them on his way home 

from school and storing them in the ice maker. 

Beautiful night sky.

Some days you just need a nap.

In a warm sheet.

With a chicken boy.

#3 is learning the rules of the game called basketball.

He's a skipper and a smiler. 

#10 is finding his place as a forward on his team. 

He's a great ball handler. 

This is a yoga baby. 

I do yoga.

She do yoga.

We do yoga.

Cole used his powerful motorcycle to pull the princess

on her worm with her remote around and around the family room

while watching a show. He had rigged up a rope the night 

before and came up with this plan all on his own.

Asher celebrates the fact that he will soon be 11

with plenty of friends, P.E. games, and pizza.

What a fine group of friends. 

Please notice Aidan "talking on a cell phone". 

Very cool. 

The Halloween costumes have been making random appearances.

I particularly liked this curly headed chicken.

Original chicken: Aidan

Asher earns the highest award given to a Cub Scout: The Arrow of Light. 

Excited to move on to Boy Scouts. 

I am asked to take a picture of the Pooh puzzle and these two.

Cole is sure it will look like they are all standing up. 

Notice his flexed feet.  Convincing no?

Happy January.
