I've lost my mind...

The boys love to create! So I let them go crazy today!!!

I have a rubbermaid container I filled half full with oatmeal and put sand toys in for rainy or snowy days. And today...I walked away for a few minutes and came back to a kitchen of oatmeal and sand toys instead of just a box.

But they were so quiet and played so well together for those few minutes that the five minutes of clean up was TOTALLY worth it!!!

(and now as I right this post, the boys are in the kitchen (by themselves) with paper, scissors, stickers and markers....I may have lost my mind!)

Painting Potatoes

Being we had so much fun painting pumpkins...we thought we would continue the fun by "painting" potatoes with oil for lunch.

First Snow in November 2010

We missed the real "first snow" in October. The boys were VERY excited to see the snow outside last night at 7:30!

It was so fun to Elias react. This is the first time that he has been able to walk in the snow without falling over.

Both boys made sure to eat their fair share of fresh snow.

All in a days work!

Today, we were busy! We made out thank you cards...and Corbin & Elias HAD to help! They added words, pictures and lots of stickers!

We worked on "school". Corbin has learned almost all his letters (both uppercase and lowercase) and a few numbers. He is VERY into adding smiley faces to everything!

Joel cut up all the onions this morning and the dehydrator has been going ever since.

I made a batch of salsa.

So, when we were eating supper, Corbin informed me that it was time to "Watch tv and eat lots of popcorn! Please, Mom!!!"

So we did the "popcorn dance"...

...and now the tv is on!

And we have lots to share, so if you are up for some popcorn and tv, COME ON OVER!

*Yes, I do realize Elias has his shirt inside out and backwards! And it is dirty. But that is the best part of staying home all day...we don't really care what we look like as long as we are having a good time!!!!!!!
