Catch Up

Okay, I am finally at Tracie's house so I can put some pictures on my blog. It's going to be a long one. Here goes.

The boys' hair was getting really long so I decided to buzz it.















Before Kevin got his hair cut. (I think Ethan's before picture got deleted.)















After the haircuts.
















Paninis made on our fabulous panini grill. (Darren took this picture.)















Last Monday it snowed quite a bit. After shoveling the driveway (which was very tiring because it was a wet heavy snow and we have a long driveway) Ethan, Kevin, and I made a snowman. It was a lazy one because I was tired.














Jacob after eating one of those fun dip candies that Ryan and LaCee sent us for Valentine's Day. (Darren also took this photo.)














Kevin with his new glasses and cool glass case. (I forgot to switch these around before putting them on here and it is taking too long to put the pictures on so it has to stay like this.)














Darren took this picture of the boys together and I thought it was cute.
Below is just another one of cute boys.

TV

I have a lot of great pictures to post on my blog but I can't do that until I get to a computer that I can do photos with. Like the snowman we made yesterday, or the hair cuts I gave my boys, or the sandwich Darren made. They will all just have to wait. For now I'll just share the current highlight of my winter. When you have small children you can't go out and get entertained as often because you have to get a babysitter or take them with you. (It's great on days when babysitters actually call you and ask you if they can babysit - thanks, Katie. By the way, I don't recommend seeing "Catch and Release".) So a lot of our current entertainment is watching TV in the evenings. And there are some very good shows on right now.
Sunday nights : "The One That I Want"
"The Apprentice".
And this Sunday is the premier of All Stars Amazing Race. Can't miss that! Thank goodness for DVR when shows are on at the same time.

Monday night: "24"

Tuesday night: "American Idol"

Wedensday night: "American Idol"
"Lost". If you haven't started watching Lost don't start now. But go rent the first two seasons at a video store and get caught up because it is one of my very favorite shows. I highly recommend it.

Thursday night: "The Office"
"Survivor"

And Friday and Saturdays we usually make Jon and Kristi come over to our house so we can put our kids to bed and play. That sounds like we are addicted to a lot of shows, doesn't it.

Melting!

Yesterday, when I left work, I noticed something amazing. Puddles! Do you know what that means? It means snow and ice actually melted yesterday and are supposed to continue melting the rest of the week. It also means the temperature actually got above freezing. Can you believe it? Frigid January is over! So maybe the groundhog prediction is true and there really are only two more weeks of winter. (Darren also noticed we have crocuses trying to poke up in our hot spot on the north side of the house.) Exciting times.

Winter

So today was the second day this year school got canceled. It was -32 with the wind chill factor. Darren said it finally got to 0 degrees at noon. I'm so glad there's only one full month of winter left. I love a fresh snowfall but I hate the hard crunchy ice and snow that doesn't go away because it's so freakin' cold. Here is a picture of our dining room windows.
