Winter...you there??

We have been waiting patiently for winter to show up.  Mother nature is really testing us.  We have had snow on the ground since November (it has been cold), but hardly any accumulation.  Luckily there has been enough for us to get out skiing with the kiddos once on cross country skis, and enough for the kids to be entertained by a few snow blowing episodes.  


Walks keep us sain.  We get out twice a day ususally- morning and evening...even when it is 15 degrees (that is my cutoff for cold) or snowing.

I am a slave driver.  Got these little ones cleaning already!  No- really they just have some sort of infatuation with cleaning tools.  The dust pan and brush occupied at least 30 minutes.

IKEA makes the BEST stools for kids.  We have two of the this same stool- they use them to play up at the counter and to brush their teeth in the bathroom.  The pictures hardly do this tooth-health routine justice.  I will post video sometime soon. So stinkin cute.


Just a little cuddle time with daddy.  I mean, since winter won't show up, why not read about Surfing.
A little pouty lip cause mom took the binkie away.
And, Owen joins the fun!

Audrey & Chip, Wow!! cross country, huh? So you're using every muscle group, eh? Love it! We thought winter was passing us by in OK, but to us 31 degrees is COLD! Your collage of the fake food eating duo is gracing my desktop-what a gamut of facial expressions--one of my fav pics! Love from your Tulsa fan club!
