This one's for you, Sonya

Firebending

After cleaning out the garage of all the burnable wood scraps, we made a fire.. so of course the kiddos started firebending.

(video has no sound)

They got into the show Avatar: The Last Airbender over Christmas time. 
No doubt this is what they thought they were doing...

Firehouse Visit

I have now visited a firehouse with each of my 3 children.  Different reasons and different firehouses.  This week a bunch of Yoda's friends visited a firehouse for their co-op preschool and we tagged along. 

 He loved it! 

Mimi back in 2013 with her Daisy troop.  I can't find a photo of Parker on his trip-doh! 
__________

Mimi, "I don't care!!"
Parker, "Mimi doesn't have a care in the world."
Mimi, "I DO have a care in the world!"

__________

Yoda, "are there bad people in heaven?"
*sheesh*

The warm has returned

I'll say it now before it's gone (even while I'm wrapped in a quilt to keep warm)

I like winter -- I'll take a cold day over a hot one.  

I love spring though, and I'm excited that this week will be in the 40's and 50's. 

Here's a few photos of us in the winter goodness.

 Yoda and his friend buried his dad in the snow, just his boots are sticking out.
(Yoda is licking a snowball and his friend is making a snow angel)

Keeping warm inside with Lord of the Rings Risk game-time.

 Parker helping install some new hardware for the kitchen on a day we were stuck inside. 
This kitchen is still not stick-a-fork-in-it done, but it's closer...

 New flash cards vs.

old flash cards... this exam has less material so it's a shorter stack of flashcards... but it will still keep Greg busy this winter/spring! 

Yoda's hat and 2 snowmen

He got it for his birthday, he likes it.
