Fun with Markers!

Connor is my little artist, and always has been.
Today he decided that Brennan and Gavin could do with a little "make-over" kitty-cat style. It's hard to punish Connor when you're laughing so hard tears are rolling down your face.
Gavin thought he looked so dang cool, strutting around with his ghastly blue cat face, it made me laugh even harder. He had snakes drawn down both arms, too.

When asked "What happened to Brennan", Connor innocently replied,
"He did that to himself, Mom." Wow! Really, Connor?
(P.S. That's the first time I have ever caught Connor lying).
Gotta love kids. They certainly keep you on your toes!

....and one day later, Brennan actually DID do this to himself!

(I am throwing the markers away now).

Be Careful What You Wish For...

I wanted a white Christmas. I love snow. It makes the world look so clean and beautiful. I truly missed snow when we lived in Texas.
I couldn't wait to have seasons again.

That being said, what's the deal with the AMOUNT of snow we are getting? Is this some kind of "Welcome to Utah" initiation?? I am beginning to get a little cabin fever. The snow in my backyard is up to my hips. Driving in this is a little scary in my not-so-snowproof van. So, maybe this is just a Mountain Green thing, or is it this deep at your house, too?

Wow.

Can you see my mailbox? Me neither.

My backyard...yes that is a 4 foot tall fence. Crazy, huh?

I thought I would throw this one in of Brennan,
in obviously less snowy times.

If I tried taking his picture out there today,
he'd be buried up over his head.
