Random Happenings

Life just ebbs on. We're not doing anything really exciting just hanging out at home and trying not to be buried in the house. We've had 2 major bouts of sickness so we've stayed home to get better and not get others sick. First after Christmas was a stomach virus and then this last week was the croup.Had a lot of fun Jan 13 with pizza/movie night. We let the kids make their own pizzas. I had to take a picture of the masterpiece because Aaron carefully put the pepperonis on with one olive slice in the middle. He really may end up a chef, still quited interested in all things in the kitchen. They then watched Bambi while Eric and I watched Lord of the Rings (extended version we just got from his brother) in our room. Eric mixed the pizza dough up in our new bread maker and it was tasty. We also tried out my new pastry roller which made the best looking crusts I've ever seen. Aaron modeling, or so it looked when I had to get this picture on Jan 16. Grandma Delta got the kids cowboy boots on a clearance awhile back though much too big, the kids still insist on wearing them periodically. This morning they had been playing something with all the cowboy stuff (love that they are more into imaginative play these days). The cap guns was from Santa and are working out well as Aaron goes around pointing it and saying,"shoot, shoot" or hoot depending on how it sounds. I couldn't resist taking this sweet picture of Rachel sleeping on January 10. She does pretty good taking apx 2 naps during the day. I get her sleepy then put her down and she will cry for a few minutes and then be asleep. She wakes in the morning quite happy, but always crying from naps perhaps she's just saying come and get me! This has been a crazy winter with hardly any snow or if it does its gone in 2 days. Here are the kids playing outside without shoes or coats on Jan 3!! Good bye January!
