Marshmallow catapult

Every Friday afternoon I volunteer in Ryder's classroom, doing art/crafts with the kids who are interested. I thought I would switch things up a bit and bring a project that was a little more playful...which led me to find this wonderful tutorial for the marshmallow catapult.

Skiing again...

Just another day on the slopes. What a fun way to play the afternoon away....it's just so easy to love this life!

Snow friend

It was finally warm enough to get outside and build a snowman...I feel like every year our snow friend has such a tiny head (must be Quinn's job)....but this year the eyes are my favorite! What a good looking fella! 

puppet theatre

quinn got a 'spoon' puppet theater for christmas. i have a feeling this is going to be hours of entertainment, not only for her, but for all of us! she put on a little birthday show for me the other morning, oh, it was so fun watching and listening. i remember putting on plays of all sorts with my sisters and cousins....this is what childhood is all about:)

ski bums

so this is what we've been up to lately! these two have once again shocked jesse and i with their skills. both kids are loving this new sport, and although jesse and i were a bit apprehensive to hit the midwestern slopes (after being out west for 10 years), it was so nice to slap those skis back on and hit the slopes with the littles! this is going to be something we can do together for years to come.
