Sunday Update

This picture is taken from our patio and looks up to Gma & Gpa's house. The flower garden is under snow. The fire pit has been steadily used by Dime. :-) He'll spend 2-3 hours outside hauling scraps from the woods to make a nice warm fire.

Once school started it has been a race!! I'm not sure who's winning, but I sure am exhausted. It has been nice this weekend to catch up with some rest, this and that, and not feel like I'm on a treadmill with the speed turned up. (Although I sure could use some exercise of that sort.)

My Baby Darling got her First Tooth!! Just in time for her birthday. She's been waking up several times during nap time because of it bugging her. I'll be glad when those bottom two are in.

Duke has new glasses!! What a project. His second pair broke and when we tried to get them fixed, nope, too broke. New frames were the same price as a brand new pair, his prescription was too old to just order them, gotta bring him in for a new eye exam (he gets so car sick, he hates to go anywhere!), bring him in, need the glasses ASAP so find a store that has the material to make them that weekend, travel to the store, find out the memory metal frames are more expensive, wait 2 1/2 hours in the mall for them to finish, and finally drive home happy!! :-) Darling loved the play place at the mall.

Drum had an exciting Saturday. He got to go on a CAP fieldtrip. They got to be in 3 different simulators. He had a blast! Then he got to spend the night at his good friend's house. So much boy fun!! He's been talking non-stop since he got home. :-)

Darling got a new nickname from Daddy - Button-Eyes. She has such sweet button-eyes. :-)

A friend of Dot's spent the weekend with us. She and Dot made muffins and nibble sticks, went sledding, and played games. She was so sweet to play with the boys while Dot studied homework.

Here is a picture of Duke's remote control car from his Uncle for C-mas. He enjoyed it so much that he purchased another one, and Deer & Dessert used their money to get one for themselves. They have had a blast! In this picture: Dessert= Red, Duke= White, Deer= Silver. (notice I used colors not car names. Yes, I am a woman!)

A before and after picture of Dot's hair. She needed a trim, but was nervous about my cutting it. So, I took a picture of what it looked like so she could see. The visual worked and she let me do a little trim with a picture afterwards to check out my job. :-) Technology
