Okay, this makes me giggle.

Snow Much Fun

Mathew and Aunt Shirley had a good time playing in the snow. Mathew was a bit of a bully, pelting Aunt Shirley with snowballs.


Aunt Shirley fought back by rolling Mathew down a hill.


Mathew was undeterred.


Mathew likes to get up close before firing a shot.

Aunt Shirley has good reflexes, but Mathew still lands a snowball on top of her head.

Here he is yelling at Aunt Shirley to "Hide!"

She takes his advice just as he winds up to launch another snowball her way!

Happy Halloween!

Spooky? I think not!

Lessons (Not) Learned

Last night the boys would not stop banging their spoons and bowls on the table and yelling, "We want rice!" while I was trying to cook dinner. Chris must have been reading my mind, because he jumped in and sent them to their room. When it was time for them to come out, I asked each of them why they were sent to their room.

Nathan: Because you asked us to stop banging and we didn't listen.
I thought this was pretty good. Reflective. Lesson learned.

Mathew (with a GIANT smile): Because I like to bang my spoon!
Okay, lesson NOT learned.

Mathew Says

Mathew: Mama, you want cookie?
Mom: No thank you.
Mathew: Are you sick?!?!?
