Snow Writing

Here was mine...

Here was Shane's... (I <3 him)

Piggy

Look at this cute hat we got Sarah from "The Store."  Her favorite animal is a pig and she still loves all things PINK.  Love it!  She often wears this hat selling Girl Scout cookies at stores; she gets a lot of compliments.

Snow Buddies

We recently went to Salt Lake City, Utah for a ski trip.  On the last day, we rented snowmobiles in Park City and went for a guided tour.  There was so little snow, we had to travel a ways up to drive smoothly.  The metal skis on the bottom do not make a pretty sound when driving over dirt.  The guide said that they had about 18" low compared to most years.  Along our way to the top of this mountain, there was this cliff that the guide took our pictures on.  It really was safe, but the pictures look like we were falling over. 

 

Here you can really see how little snow there was.  This should have been fully white and beautiful.

 Shane's choice of activity was to simply play in the snow.  This is as much powder as we ever saw.  He and Sarah enjoyed going up and steam-rolling down.  Ski bibs are so great for keeping you warm and dry.  Glad we sprung for them this year for the kids.

Oh yes it is...

This is not what one expects to find in their sink, unless you have a Shane of your own.  He decided to see what would happen if he put poo in the sink and left it for a period of time.  He wondered if it would dissolve.  Now, I love his questioning mind, but not in MY sink.  I told him, we could have just left it in the toilet and made a sign, "please do not flush, science experiment."   He later used gloves and did clean out my sink for me.  Whew!  The fun of parenting never ends!

Ghost Lantern

Fun at a Cub Scout campout.  They decorated ghost lanterns instead of carving pumpkins.  Love it!  We put colored glow stick in them on Halloween and they were too cute.

All things Star Wars

Shane got some new art, too.  We had his name made at Legoland in San Diego while we were there this summer.  I finally got it framed and up on the wall.  He picked out the glitter mat b/c he thought it looked like stars.  Love It!

Peace...Love...Pink

This summer, Sarah and I made some new art work for her room.  

 Peace...Love...Pink.

 I found a peace sign similar to the one we made for $34 at a furniture store.  We used square canvases from Hobbby Lobby ($7.99 each) and paint that I already had.  My favorite touches are the Stickles glitter accents and the Sparkle Modge Podge.  So wishing I had more time to do crafty things.
