First snow 2015

This week we woke up to our first snow fall of the season....the kids were excited :).  Charlie left for school and made snow angels in the snow while waiting for the bus!  Then once lunch was done, we headed out to make good of the wet snow.  By the end of the 1.5 hours, we had cleared our backyard of all fresh snow.  They had a good time.....

Charlie decided that he now likes hot chocolate, so when we were at the store this week, we also bought hot chocolate (we don't have it in the house as I'm not a fan!).....Anyway - we broke out the coloured marshmellows and filled the mugs.  Charlie loved it, Moe couldn't have cared less.  He didn't even try to eat the marshmellows.  I'm sure it will grow on him as he sees his big brother drink it.

Here are a few pictures of our two firsts for the winter season.  As nice as it would have been to have a hot drink after playing in the snow, these pictures were taken on different days :).

Baking....

I was going to make bisquits one afternoon, and thought that I had baking powder, but I couldn't find any...So I just let the boys play with some dough......It kept them entertained for a good hour.  I took a few pics as they barely had any taken of them in October - ooops!

Oh, and turns out I had TWO containers of baking powder....just sitting in the pantry, not the cupboard.  I thought I had some, just couldn't find it when I needed it :(

Pumpkin fun

The family got together to carve pumpkins......I'm not the biggest fan of pumpkin carving, yet I was the one who suggested it :).  Needless to say, we mostly had a good time carving....and we let our creativity flow.  Any guesses on which one mine was??!!!

So, last year Charlie WOULD NOT touch the inside of the pumpkin.  He had been telling me that he would help clean it out this year and I seriously doubted him :).  However, he did stick his hand in a few times and his scraper, so he did try it!!!!! 

First Day of Preschool

Moe was very excited to start preschool the day following his birthday.  He and Charlie have been saying he gets to take the 'Mommy' bus to preschool - lol!!!!  He walked right into the class, we took off his shoes and put his indoor ones on and I gave him a quick hug and kiss, and he was off!!!  I was so happy for him because I knew he was so excited :).  And when I came to pick him up he gave me the biggest smile when I called his name.  Too sweet!!!!
