Santa's checking his list

Well it is that time of year when parents can use the threat of no presents as a motivational tool to get the kids to clean a little bit more around the house. We planned to use this tool to its fullest potential with our little girl because she actually knows how this whole christmas thing works now but we had no idea that it would work so well with J.J. The allure of a grand haul delivered by santa claus due to his excessive good behavior and a sparkling abode has him in a cleaning frenzy. Too bad CHRISTmas only comes once a year.

Bah Hum Bug Baby

Maybe its a growth spurt, maybe we keep him up to late at night or maybe he just doesn't like outdoor fun. I'm not sure what it is but every time we have gone to play in the snow J.J. has fallen asleep. That is why I don't have any cute pictures of my little man flinging snow. Sorry, but as you can see it is not my fault.

Sharlee the snow Devil

Sharlee would not even put her feet on the ground when it snowed last year but this year she is loving it. The only thing I don't like about taking her out to frolic in this winter wonderland is the fact the she is a snowball throwing machine. I should have known that I was in for it when we were driving in the car up to pinevalley and I asked Sharlee if she was going to make a snowball. She said yes. I asked her if she was going to throw it at mom and she said,"No, I'm going to throw it at you daddy!" At least Shanda thought it was funny.

True to her word every time that we have been out together snowballs have been hurled... at least her throwing arm isn't that good yet.

Snow makes me happy

What can I say snow makes me happy. It doesn't stay too LONG so I don't have to shovel it and it doesn't make driving HARD either. Plus, with all of the extra cuddling I recieve form the freezing wife certain PARTS of me do love it when it snows.
