Another Snow Storm

We received more snow on Friday, Charlie had a snow day, which meant no school. While Lukas took a long morning nap, Charlie and I shoveled the driveway and made a terrific snowman.

Unfortunately our horrible neighbors destroyed our beautiful snowman. Not to worry I made sure their mother got a piece of my mind. We will attempt to make another snow man and hope that it survives!

This is a picture of Luke busting out of his 24 month jammies. Most of his jammies look like this, I don't understand it, but it is so funny to me. I'm sure it has a little to do with them being hand me downs....time to get Luke some new PJs.

Breakfast

Originally I grabbed the camera because Lukas was doing such a great job using his fork, but then he ended up feeding Buzz. For those of youwho don't know, Lukas is obsessed with Toy Story and he carries a Buzz Lightyear (he has 3 of them) and a Woody with him all the time. He sleeps with them, eats with them, and brings them with us wherever we go. They are his best buddies.

We had another blizzard a few weeks ago and it was a good one. Snow days for 2 whole days! We love the snow but I'm starting to feel like I really just want to put the boys in the stroller and go for a walk....I think they call that cabin fever!

This was the day after the blizzard, we got about a foot of snow.

Then we went upstate with Grandpa.

Charlie did some skiing and he did great!

Luke was pretty sick and annoyed with everything.

Charlie loved skiing, he wanted poles, and to go on the ski lift and come down the big hill.

The boys rode the quads a lot.

Mackenzie, Charlie, and Grandpa.

At the tree fort down by the river.

That's Jack, I think the kids look so funny when they are trying to walk around with those big helmets on their heads, I always laugh.

Luke and Grandpa looking at the river.

Luke feeling a little better, roaming around in the snow.

Charlie on the swing

Luke mad because he didn't a long ride on the swing. I can't help it, I get a little whoozy on that thing...motherhood has changed me.

Charlie riding the quad, his latest obsession.

Mackie

Luke almost fell asleep on the quad, he loves it.

Taking a ride in the trailer to go get some fire wood.

We went to dinner at this restaurant that is famous for their breakfast. They make their own maple syrup and have all the maple trees with the taps on them outside the restaurant. Needless to say, we all had breakfast for dinner. This is a picture of the kids enjoying their pancakes that were shaped like a bear face with chocolate chip eyes, nose, and mouth.

This picture just cracks me up.

Snot-face!

cutie pies

The kids were waiting forever for that little racoon to come out of the barrel, they had so much fun with it.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were an actual stuffed raccoon... yuck. I mean we were upstate.

Back at home the boys couldn't take turns with anything so we worked on sharing more.

And this is just Luke being Luke.

And these are his new "shoes," he wears them all the time.

Here are some video of our trip upstate.

A Song About Elmo

The boys LOVE this song!

Lukas at his best

This is what heaven looks like for Luke....pacifier, lovey, Buzz lightyear in hand, sitting on his hoppity turtle, watching Toy Story, while Charlie is out of the house at Monster Jam with Dad.

Orange County Choppers

On Sunday we took a drive to O.C.C. (remember the 3 knuckle heads from the reality show on TLC that make awesome bikes), Charlie and Will loved it. We actually got to see Pauly Senior working on a bike in the shop behind some blacked out glass. It seemed a little weird. All these people looking at him and him not being able to see us. They claim they do that to minimize distractions and possible injuries...whatever. It was neat. There was an overabundance of merchandise, but the motorcycles were very cool to see.
