Fun

Normally I am not okay with bikes on the couch, but on this day I let them do it because 1. they were not fighting and 2. they were laughing SO hard.  I just couldn't stop them! They pushed the bikes onto the couch and then pushed them off.

Salt and shells

This kept Kaylin busy for a VERY long time! 

A few pictures from my parents visit

After over a month of being absent from the blog, I am back and ready to post again! :) My mom did such an awesome job updating her blog from their visit here...really it was practically down to the minute. I am just going to add a few from when we stayed at the castle. The castle was an awesome place to stay and I highly recommend it.

We had such a great time with them and were so sad to see them leave. 

Future...

...hoarder?

The tent is sideways because, "that's just the way I set it up." She also has "everything I need."

Snow

We have been getting above average amounts of snow here....we are talking about 2 inches at a time which causes havoc in these parts! LOL! Trains and trams slow down, traffic stops, streets and sidewalks are SLIPPERY! The temp averages around 30 degrees during the day so it gets a bit slushy and then freezes at night. In an attempt to satisfy the ice skating gene in the Dutch, no boats are allowed in the canals right now. Fingers are being crossed that the canals freeze over (minimal freezing is required!) so they can pull out their skates and have at it! The temps usually average 40 degrees in January, so they might get their wish.

We pulled out the sled that was accidently shipped over here (it was supposed to go to storage) and I pulled the kids along on the sidewalk. Kaylin really had fun and Shane just wasn't too sure. He was happier pulling the sled.

I didn't get any pictures of the sled, but did get a few of them making dough for calzones!

Enjoy your weekend!

Finally!!

After WAY to long....introducing my very first pair of socks!!

I just joined a knitting group which meets every Monday night at a cafe in the Center. So much fun! I am going to learn a lot from them. :)

Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a Happy 2010!
