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.
Jack on the swing
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.Here is the front of the building. Charlie by the bikes that aren't just for show, but for purchasing if you've got close to $40k in your pocket.
Charlie liked this really cool looking green spider bike
911 bike
Spiderman bike
Yankee bike
Lincoln bike
and another spiderman bike.
