Laundry!!!


With vacation comes a lot of laundry. Before I started sorting it Clara climbed on top and called it a mountain, that's for sure. Four loads down, three to go. After I took a picture of her she wanted to take a photo of me, she did pretty good.

The Whole Family!

We had so much fun in Jamaica, I don't have time to talk about everything. Clara loved the sand and sun! The wedding was beautiful, we just wish we had a few more days there!

Nap Time at the Babysitter

When Eric got home from a basketball game last night Clara had to get up and tell him a story. He bribed her with m&m's to tell the story again so he could record it.

Snow


Clara kept saying that she was walking in a tunnel going down the sidewalk because the snow is taller than she is!

He was going to extreme measures to get some food during this snowstorm.

Snow Ice Cream


Since it is so cold outside, we made a snowman inside with the left over snow from our ice cream.
All you need is some sweetened condensed milk, 1t of vanilla, and 8 cups of snow. We added chocolate syrup and peppermint chips to make it AMAZING! Paula Deen called for an entire can of the milk, but less than half made it sweet enough-and we have enough to make more tomorrow!


I went to the Y around noon today and decided to run by the store before I came home to get some sweetened condensed milk. I didn't know if I was going to make it home. The wind was blowing snow everywhere, there was a bunch of snow on the road, my windshield was freezing up and I couldn't see the road very well. We are locked in for the evening, literally blockaded in by a 3 foot snow drift in front of our door.

YUM!!!

"You Wanna See Something Really Really Tool?"


Sidenote: In the middle of the video you can't hear what she turns around and tells Mary. She said, "Don't be surprised when I jump really far."

Hungry Birds





Eric has been adament about feeding the birds while it has been cold and snowy. They appreciate it today, they have been fighting over the sunflower seeds all day.
