For you Mom

Sometimes in life, well most of the time, it is the small gestures that makes it all worth while. This has been a tough year for us as it has for most people and I haven't exactly been feeling the Christmas spirit. Summers and Zander got supplies together and made me this beautiful wreath. They put it together and Summers let Zander decorate it with what he wanted. He chose gold balls, feathers and black scratch off paper. I don't know if you can see it all in the picture but it was perfect. Then he wrote "To Mom" on a peice of paper and put it on the wreath. It is really special and Zander was so excited to give it to me. Merry Christmas!

Snow Fort

This is the snow fort or igloo. It took about 3 hours to build and we were all so tired that we took a big nap when we came in. We made it on Friday and part of it is still there the following Tuesday. Check out the video on my youtube channel, friendsmiling66

Big Snow

This is the first big snow that we have had since Zander was born. It snowed really hard yesterday. He played outside for a little while. This morning there was at leat 6 inches when we woke up. We ate breakfast and then got dressed and went outside to play. We went in search of the perfect hill and tried several but didn't find the right one. It was really hard to walk. There was so much snow that at times it came over my boots which were almost to my knee. At one point the snow pulled Zander's boot right off.
We went back to our yard and decided to build a snow fort. It was alot of fun. Pictures to come.

Farm Day

 

Zander's class was studying about farm animals. The teacher asked for the children to come to school dressed as their favorite farm animal. This is my quick attempt at transforming Zander into a duck.
