Another random post of pictures

What have we been doing recently? 

The weather was nice enough to play outside a couple of days.

We painted. 

Played out side some more.

Sent 100 gum balls to school for the 100th day of school. (which kept getting moved because of the snow days)

Jackson had to write his Valentine's.

The little ones had to do their home work.

Miles didn't want his medicine and tried to hide from me. 

Jackson had to write his teacher's Valentine's.

M and C watched the snow.

J had to dress like he was 100 years old. He wanted to wear his great grandfathers bow tie. So he did. He and Grayson are doing their morning work. 

This is our life.
Micheal was so tired of telling the little ones to get out of the bathroom while I was sick. Potty training 2 at once is hard. At least this one is getting it. 

More playing outside. And they found the one patch of ice left in the yard. 

J loves pushing the little ones in this car. 

J was pulling them on the sled. Who needs snow?

Michael is rooting 5 poplar trees in our bedroom. All 5 have sprouts and will be in our yard one day.  

More great weather! My boys are going to live outside this spring! I can't wait.
 But for now I guess we will see if we get more snow like is predicted. 

More Snow!

I did not get any pictures of us playing in the snow this time. Miles was getting over the flu and I had the flu! Michael was a snowed in, single dad of 3 boys for 3 days while I was in bed.

Jackson went to school Tuesday in the snow and had fun. It was just starting to stick when he was there.

And it kept snowing and snowing. It was the largest snow flakes I've ever seen!

This is out of my bedroom window. 

Can you see the large flakes?? This is our view out of another window in our bedroom.

It's all sticking to the trees!

The gray skies we only see when it's snowing!

In the end, the snow and ice covered our bottom steps.
 I hate I was sick because we would have bundled up and played outside!  

Let's Play Ball!

We now have a baseball player! Jackson has asked for a while to play baseball so we finally signed him up for ball. He is so excited and loves going to practice!

Still playing in the snow

The snow stayed around for a couple of days and the boys thought it was fun to play in what was left in our back yard. Until they hands started to hurt because they didn't have gloves on. Opps!

As soon as I walked out (with my big cup of coffee) Jackson ran toward me with a snowball.

And he was still eating the snow. I had to stop him at least 3 times.

Carter still headed for the dirt pile. 

And played with dirty snow.

Miles ran and hopped all around.

They are coming at me again! 

Miles and Carter had dirty pants when we came inside.  I asked Carter to get another pair of pants from his room. This is what he decided to wear. I think he is ready to go swimming this summer!
