Sneak Peeks

I've seen some signs of changing seasons.....

• The temperatures have crept up to an amazing 30-40 degrees!
• The snow is gradually melting!
• I can see a rock from our pond peeking out of the snow.
• I have seen grass emerging from the blanket of snow.
• The demise of our snowman.....:(
• SUNSHINE!
• The sun sets later!
• Spring cleaning has begun! (slowly but surely)
• I got hot in the house yesterday and had to turn down the heat, same goes for the car.
• I got my cute rain boots in the mail a few days ago!

Welcome Spring! Make yourself at home! Stay as long as you want. We've been waiting for you for such a long time. You will not out-live your stay. We promise! Stay as long as you are comfortable, your presence is warming and promising!

Yummy Painting!

Miss-O loves the idea of finger painting with chocolate pudding!

I remember when C-man did this in pre-school, he loved it!
Indy loves it too!

A beautiful Chocolate creation!

Winter Sun Catchers

Family Fun Magazine has not failed us yet! We love getting ideas from this magazine.

Yesterday, Miss-O and I froze water in a cake pan, she picked red and blue for food coloring. Then, we added a plastic cup full of water to have a hole for the ribbon.

Today, the ice came out of the pan okay, but the cup needed a little budge with some warm water. Ooops! I see the directions say to to freeze for an hour, now half a day!

It still turned out pretty cool!
I wonder if it'll last the day, the snow has been melting????

This is C-man's Sun Catcher in line to be hung up soon (or maybe tomorrow)

After thinking about this, I could have used my bundt cake pan, a heart shaped cake pan, or any shape really, just make sure to have a hole to hang the ribbon from it.

New Hobby!

Paul's new past-time is blowing snow!

We've hit 62 inches and need 10 more to meet the record in 1910.

I wonder if there were floods of 1910 too?

I've already decided I'm buying rainboots (and CUTE ones too,) because it's going to be a wet spring!

The Drive is almost done, then time to do the corner sidewalk!

Something we didn't take into consideration when we bought our home.

Our south street is busy and the snow plows push the most tenacious snow on our side-walk.

Thank goodness for our blower, our first year Paul was shoveling by hand. YUCK!

Because we are good neighbors and like to do good deeds, we do our neighbor's sidewalk that lives to the north of us. (Unless Paul can't feel his feet or hands anymore!)
I think I'd rather push a lawn mower than a snow-blower.

How about you?

LegoRama!

LegoRama

at the Library today!

A dream come true for C-man!

He and his Lego Buddies building and creating!

The Creation!

I guess there's an actual club in our city, but you have to be in 3rd-5th grade.
They use robotics and everything!
So now we're home and the kids are playing, nonetheless: LEGOS!

(p.s. Legos has been a great outlet for C-man's "electronic" withdrawals. He gave up all electronics for Lent. He hasn't watched T.V. unless it's the news or Olympics. No Wii, No DS, and no Computer at home. 36 m0re days!)

Our Family

Through the eyes of our 3 year old, here is our Family!

Daddy, Mommy, C-man, & Miss-O.

(I love my big feet!)
