Where does the time go??

 That's Lucas down there, all bundled up.  Poor kid kept falling over since the snow was past his knees!  He wasn't real fond of it. . .but definitely liked throwing snow balls at Austin.

Amidst all these snow days one would think I could get some blogging done. Not so. What with all the hot chocolate, marshmallows, movies, popcorn, playing in the snow, and serious wii-overload, I just haven't found much time to do anything else.  I probably need to go buy us all new pjs as we have stayed in our pjs for several days in a row lately!  I tend to agree with the kids - if you're not going anywhere, why get dressed??  I have such smart kids.  Although, I must admit I feel a bit guilty when Shawn comes home from work and we are all in our pjs and I haven't even gotten out of my robe yet.  The kids finally got to go to school on Friday, and I must admit, it was nice to get up and get dressed!  We have had our fair share of snow here - 13 inches last week and rumor has it we could get a few more tomorrow.  It's hard to imagine all of this snow melting some day! I can't believe how fast time is slipping by.  I don't think I even posted anything about Lucas turning 2!  Yes, we did have a party in between illnesses over here.  And let me tell you - he definitely knew it was his birthday.  He was all about holding up those two fingers quite proudly and ripping into any presents that came his way.  His latest saying is, "Oh Brother."  Hilarious.  I mean, really, what does a 2 year old boy have to say "oh brother" about?  I love it. 

Austin is having such a good time playing basketball and has improved more than I can even believe since the season started.  He still has 3 more games.  In his last two games he scored 3 baskets!  The look on his face after he scores is priceless.  And of course I scream obnoxiously like he just won the super bowl.  He's starting to understand the game a lot better which makes it a lot more fun.  Although we did enjoy when he thought you were suppose to play defense the whole time - even when you were on offense.  It provided for much entertainment on the sideline.  The one thing he is having trouble with is not doing a full court press - but if you ask me, if you are going to do something wrong, then it might as well be playing too much defense. 
Ok, so that gets you a bit caught up on where we are here.  I'll try and throw some pics together soon and post, maybe say, twice this month?  No promises. . . .
Happy Snow!!
