Surviving the Winter... by Cole

Cole has been plenty busy during these cold snowy days. Have you ever seen a happier person playing in the snow? Cole said... "Wow mom I found a REALLY big rock!"

Hes also a very talented artist..."Cole said... Look mom Im Spiderman!"

And he makes sure to get some rest after all his fun... along with his collection of stuffed animals. He has to have these guys everywhere he goes. So Cole has it rough here in the Alaskan weather....

Tis The Season......

For decorating the Christmas tree

Unless you are Aliyah... She had more fun UNdecorating

My helpful kids

I am usually writing about all the messes and mischeivious things that happen. But today I will share a moment of them helping me do dishes... pure bliss...

(Actually there was more water on the floor than in the sink, they both fell off their little chairs, and Cole used half a bottle of dishwashing soap... but I figured that it only cost me about $1.00 in wasted soap, so pretty cheap entertainment. )

Look Mom!

Cole- Come look mom I painted Ali!


Mom- (panicking and not wanting to know) Painted with what?


Cole-YOGURT! She looks pretty like snow.. hurry come see!


Mom-..no comment










She cleans up nicely dont you think?????

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Cole is Buzz Lightyear for Halloween and his Best buddy and

cousin Brock is Woody! Cole got really sad when he put on his costume... He said "Mommy I want to fly to infinity and beyond." So Chuck held him up and flew him around. Then Cole said "I want to fly outside by myself like Buzz." He was so disappointed!!!

Another funny thing... Cole wanted a treat so I told him if he went in the potty he could get a treat. Well he looked up at me and said...."Nah Ill just go trick or treating instead."

Heres a little dollface dressed up like a flower. I bet she will have fun trick or treating too.
