Cookies

The kids helped make cookies last night. I have decided it is a good thing we don't live by family that might unexpectedly drop by because 87.2% of the time we are home my kids are running around in their underwear. I have come to terms with it and have decided that it is our way of helping the planet by cutting back on laundry.



Today I decided to try my hand at royal icing. It is a lot of work to prepare but it is so pretty. Through this process I found out that my calling in life is definitely not as a baker/cookie decorator.

Snow Day!

Starting Tuesday afternoon the snow started dumping on us and by Wednesday we easily had 9 inches of fresh powdery snow. The kids played in the snow throughout the day. I made the kids into life size elves! I finally got around to taking a picture of our steal of a Christmas tree. We got a 10 foot noble fir for $14.99. Now I hope we can keep it around until Christmas. It is the best tree we have ever had!

What fun it is to be 4!

This morning Porter was given the choice of getting in the bath or washing off by rolling in the snow. I thought I was being funny!


Can you guess which one he chose?

Gobble, Gobble, Yawn!

Yesterday we enjoyed a very symmetrical veggie tray. Symmetry is a very important life skill and makes me feel at ease. I could have stared at it all day:)


What is this? A fabulously symmetrical tray of plenty! Everyone was instructed to take one item from each side as to not screw with the loveliness.


Wait, did I mention that we had enough food to feed an army which is a great thing since there were four adults there and three small children.



We had just enough food to make robots with.


Adlee stood on her head for a while to help with digesting. She can eat as much, if not more, then an average four year old!


Hudson whined a little lot but at least he looked cute doing it.


This was our family at the beginning of the night. Not sure who the dude in black with the funky hair is but he looks like he just showed up from Club 7 or maybe it was work...hmm I can't remember now.


Look at all this cuteness. I absolutely did not have to raise my voice or threaten any of these sweet children in order to get this masterpiece. I promise.


Ahh... look at how Hudson is looking at his brother in awe.


This is how our family looked at the end of the night.


I bought the material to make Adlee's dress a while ago. So sad it did not turn out very cute. She kinda looks like a pilgrim though. I am not a seamstress and don't know how to use patterns so I thought I would be able to make it up as I go...and it did not work out for me. I used the extra pieces to make the boys ties so at least they matched. And look at the symmetry in this picture.....beautiful!
