SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poor baby was half asleep, but loving the snow!

Maggie is not one for using things the way they are meant to be used-her toy basket is a nice, cozy place for reading books


And the bottom of Will's armoire is a fun place to play hide and seek


Climbing on Will's train table provides a great view out the window on cold days when we can't play outside!

Not a great picture, but it shows Maggie's fearlessness. Not only can she (nearly) climb the playground ladder by herself, but she will race Will to see who can be first down the slide, which she sometimes rides face first on her belly!

It seems like there is always a picture of the plasma cars on here, but we spend a lot of time riding around outside and I like this pic-just to the right of the kids is where they are building Eric's office.



At Magic Time Machine-they had horse and carriage rides in the parking lot, but all Will wanted to do was pet the horse


Well we had our first and most likely only snow of the year last night! It started around 9:00, so Eric and I quickly pulled Will out of bed and threw on a coat over his PJs. I know Eric thought I was crazy at first (because he's from Michigan), but once I reminded him this would be it for the snow this year, he understood! Eric just carried Will around outside, mostly because he was half asleep, but at least Will got to catch a few flakes with his tongue and leave a few handprints on chairs and tables. Of course, being Texas, the snow was gone when we woke up and it was 60 degrees today. But we enjoyed it while it lasted and will take the warm weather anyday!

It's been a pretty uneventful week. We did get to go to Magic Time Machine for my nephew Brandon's 11th birthday. We were there for over 3 and a half hours, but the kids did great and we all had fun.

Eric was out of town for business all last week, so the kids and I had lots of playdates and thankfully, lots of great weather so we could be outside. Eric brought back souvenirs from San Francisco, and Will is excited to ride a trolley car one day!

As for going private, I entered about 3/4 of the e-mail addresses and then got distracted (shocking, right?). When I came back, I entered the rest and pushed enter, and it said they encountered some kind of error. So...I'm too impatient and too short on time to try it again now, but hopefully soon.

Have a great week!
