Winter Break

This week was winter break for the school kids.  I didn't get the camera out nearly enough, but here are Timmy, Sophia, and Henry trying to pop bubbles Alex was blowing (on Tues.). I had heard if it was below freezing and you blew bubbles they would freeze.   It didn't work for us, I'm guessing it needs to be colder than 20.  But the kids had fun anyway.  (And yes, they're in their pj's outside.  It's good to be on break.)

After popping bubbles the Sophia, Henry and Timmy played in the snow, until Timmy left our yard and had to come in. Then not too much longer Sophia and Henry came in saying it was raining!  Sophia made many snow angels.

Henry was so excited to be outside.

The swing set even got quite a bit of use .  Timmy cheesing it up before zipping down the slide.

Tim and Luke hanging out.

There was plenty of video game time.  Max takes his turn while Henry and Sophia watch.

Alex playing Mindcraft, it has become almost all he and Max are able to think and speak about.

All the little monkeys having a pancake breakfast one morning.  The kids also took turns having friends over.  And got along amazingly well enough on Thursday to cooperate and work together making 2 different forts. We ended break with a very fun outing for cub scouts -  snow tubing!!!  We left the littlest 3 with their wonderful Aunt Kathy and headed out in the snow to do some sledding. It was a blast.  It seemed Sophia loved it the most of all. Everyone cheered, smiled and laughed as we zoomed down the hill at Four Seasons.  It was a great way to end to end their break.

And today Lucas rolled over!! Yea ! Another great highlight to end winter break.
