Snow Days

Well, I thought I was going to sit down and write a legitimate post for y'all... but now Mallory is crying in her crib and there's a significant chance that I'll forget to post anything if I don't just do it now.  Soooo... here are our snow days... fill in with your own witty/cute commentary. :)

My Valentine's Day Card

I mean... that was the sweetest card I've ever gotten...

Thanksgiving

So I don't have a clue why I didn't post this when I uploaded the pictures... I think I just forgot to hit "publish" when I uploaded the photos.  Oops!  Oh well.  Here are some photos from Thanksgiving.  I'm going to try to upload some more recent ones now.

We had a race Thanksgiving morning... You can tell who the real runners are in the family by the scanty running shorts. :)

It was part obstacle course as well. 

Mallory and I came in almost dead last... don't judge till you've tried to run up an down hills with a 4 month old strapped to the front of you (we did finish in front of my very pregnant little sister).

Less words = more posts :)

Peruvians in Paris and Fall Fun!

How do you like that doubly alliterative title?... Is alliterative a word?

We were SO blessed to have Tara and the kids come to Paris for a few days.  In fact, just writing this and looking at the pictures makes me REALLY miss you Tara!  We had 6 kids 4 and under in our house for a couple of days and it was wonderful!

Here's a sampling of some of our fun...

When they left we had to fill up our time so I wouldn't be sad they were gone.  I had lots of requests to play Pretty, Pretty Princess.  My girls love this game... Me? Not so much, but who cares about my opinion anyway.  Pretty, Pretty Princess it is. :)

Someone found my eyeshadow while I was trying to get a few more minutes of sleep one morning.

Family Retreat with PawPaw

Knocking down trees was a hit while we were out hiking.

Brute strength is what I think of when I think of Avery. :)

Train ride

Fall fun in the backyard.

Yes, I'm blogging about October in December...

... I'm a trendsetter like that. :)

And since I'm that far behind, let's not waste time mincing words.  This is our October in pictures.

My kids were dressed up as characters from Charlotte's Web.  Avery came up with the idea and Landry jumped right in.  Here's Wilbur the pig.

You can see Charlotte the spider there on the left.  Thanks to everyone who came to Avery's birthday!

And finally Templeton the rat... yes, she really wanted to be a rat.
