Desperate for snow!

Having a bit of cabin fever, we went to Lincoln park the other day.

First we headed to the play ground but it is under some major construction. It's completely roped off had they have a huge pile of mulch in front of it. So, we played King of the Mountain.

Of course, I was the first at the top then my thrown was taken over by The Boy. As Rylee climbed we coaxed Wyatt into believing there should be a princess as well. Rylee was then welcomed at the top of the mountain by Brother.

It has been so cold here but not much snow. We did find a little that had been plowed to the curbs. So we decided to have a bit of a snowball fight. What great fun. My aim was good and hit most of the targets that I was aiming for.

See the snowball heading right at the camera.

That was Wyatt's.

Rylee liked rearing back but she had a hard time letting go of the snowball.

I think we have a super star on our hands! Maybe not!

Wyatt started Bitty Basketball on Thursday. His first game was on Saturday. If you have never seen a Bitty Basketball game you are missing out on great comedy. There are at least 3 coaches to show the kids where to stand and what to do. The kids and especially Wyatt was so excited to be a part of it all that he could hardly contain himself. It really got bad if he got eye contact with either me or Craig on the sidelines. In the clip below Wyatt was suppose to follow his coach back to the other side of the court where all his other teammates were.

Oops!

That's My Boy!

Fun with fingerpaints!

I turn 42 tomorrow. "UGH!" Thats all I have to say about it!

Pay it Forward

Thanks to Laurie I am now playing the Pay It Forward game.
Here are the rules:
I will send a handmade gift (of my choosing) to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this "PIF" exchange, and who make the same pledge on their own blog.
I have to come up with what it is that I will send you AND you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 60days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward - on your own blog. So, if you want to get a homemade goodie from me, and are willing to do the same via your blog, let me know! You can e-mail me or leave me your email address (you can code it) in your comments and I can get your snail mail address.
This can be so much fun!

We have snow!!!!!

I cant believe we finally got some snow. Hooray! I woke up to all this beautiful white stuff on the ground. So excited that school would be closed so I could play in the snow with my kids. But No! School was on as scheduled. I felt so sorry for Wyatt he wanted to play in the snow so bad and I knew it would all be melted before he got home. It is so beautiful on the trees I had to take photos.

Hey Vanessa, Nanna, nanna, na, na! We have snow!

Rylee's first day at school!

She is doing remarkably well. I am so proud of her. She is such a big girl in such a little body. The other girls in her class treat her like their own little baby doll. I don't think that will fly with her very long because she is so independent. But for now she is enjoying all the attention.

I am still listing photos on the casahogarfeliz.blogspot.com. Sorry it is taking me so long and keep checking back. Thanks everybody again that helped. I hope and pray to be able to go back to Guatemala and do more this December.
