precious moments

Lately it's been way below zero. It's so cold here that the public schools closed for the last couple days. I guess if it's 30 below zero the schools here close. I think it may be because there would always be one crazy mom that sent her kid out to wait for the bus in the morning and the poor little sucker would be a snowball in about one minute....

It's also too cold to pour concrete so this is Ross looking super cool sleeping on the couch.. How cool do you have to be to sleeep with your shades on? I have no idea because I don't think I could even pretend to be this cool.

Yesterday Jax invited me to an "Animal Party" in his room. He thinks if he calls it a party it suddenly becomes much more fun. He honestly apologized for not having any decorations up and for not having treats. In case you were curious (because I was) at what goes on at an "Animal Party". Heres the inside scoop...We one by one named all of the stuffed animals names of family members or by what they did or what they looked like. We tucked them into bed because he told me they were tired... I thought the party was over and then he told me that there was a huge fight between bernice and bernie (Husband and wife bears) upper left in the photo. We put them both in time out and the party was over.

They are finally starting to play together. Siblings are the best.Nobody knows the joys and trials of your childhood like they do. They are the only real witnesses of your life. I can't say enough about my sisters or little brother....
