The boys have been waiting and waiting...after a few flurries to tease them last week we finally got enough snow to go out and play in! We let the twins stay up from nap and sent them outside instead. It took 6 mittens, 6 boots, 3 pairs of snow pants, 3 hats, 3 jackets, 3 boys, 1 mom, and about 2o minutes to get them out the door! But it was time well spent since they were out there almost 2 hours. They had fun and didn't want to come in! Dad joined them for part of the time and supervised the making of a snowman. Justus said he made a snow angel too. It was pretty warm and the snow was getting slushy, so they came in soaking wet. The clothesline in the basement if full of hats and mittens hanging to dry.
Ready to head out!

Out in the snow...finally!

We had an open house today (in case you were wondering...no one came) so after church we went out to Chinese Buffet for lunch. The boys were really good and a lady (who had 5 kids herself) stopped by to say how nice it was to see a large family. She just had to check to see if we had a girl in the baby carseat. Nope, 5 boys and a girl. She must have thought we left our girl somewhere else because she thought Roz was our "helper"! We all chuckled at that. When we were getting settled in to our seats Eli asked for a "Jeopardy cookie". It took us a minute to follow his train of thought but we eventually figured out he meant fortune cookie. We go to Chinese Buffet quite a bit and somewhere along the line we started calling fortune cookies "Wheel of Fortune cookies". Well, what is on before Wheel of Fortune? Why Jeopardy, of course! Hence...Jeopardy Cookies!
