So long snow

Well, it's been a week and the snow is all gone already! So away went the winter coats, snow pants, and boots, and out came the football again! The boys didn't have school on Thursday or Friday for Teacher's convention, so we have had a house full of boys the last few days. It amazes me how they ALWAYS want to spend the night somewhere or want someone to spend the night here. I don't remember the go, go, go of childhood, but I'm sure my Mom would disagree! Vince and I worked on getting a new basketball hoop attached to the garage...the instructions said "2 Able Adults" were required...not really sure if we fit the bill or not! It got dark before we could get it all mounted, but there's always tomorrow.



Just wanted to share with you the joy of having boys...and the MANY scents that accompany them! When they have been outside playing, running, and sweating, I really can't put into words how it smells - kind of like a wet dog perhaps?? The mothers of boys out there know what I am talking about! Then there's always the bodily functions that come along with boys! I don't think I need to elaborate on that!!

It snowed!

I love to play on the computer, so I thought, why not start this blogging thing? And what a better way to keep track of our crazy, busy lives than blogging and sharing pictures?? Well, it's October 12, and a winter storm has struck Montana! We had been waiting and waiting for the storm since Friday...I even made Quinn take his winter coat to school on Friday, but NO SNOW! Finally last night around 11 pm, it started, and we awoke to a beautiful winter wonderland! It was so white, wet and heavy! The boys couldn't wait to get outside to "wrestle" (not to make snow angels, but to wrestle??) Anyway, they had a blast, despite wearing snow pants that were perhaps a size too small, and Quinn having to wear MY snowboots! As for the adults, we snuggled in and watched football. I couldn't let a day like this pass me by without baking some chocolate chip cookies though! Quinn loves my cookies, so he was my assistant...we learned math and got to eat cookie dough...yummy!
