brrr

We had one nice warm day, and now it's cold and windy again. At least the nice day was on the weekend.

We had a good weekend. I got a few layouts done on Friday night while Ralph worked. On Saturday morning G and L went to Nita's house to bake some cookies, while Ralph and I cleaned like maniacs. We took the kids to see the Bee Movie on Saturday afternoon for the winter carnival. Of course L thought the movie was really scary and was on my lap, shrieking for most of the movie :-) After supper we played some balloon keep-up with the kids, read some stories, and cleaned some more. G is participating in the read-a-thon, and he's excited about his running tally of pages read. He's looking for sponsors, so give him a call if you're interested ;-)

On Sunday, Ralph took L to church, but the rest of us stayed home to make some soup. G said he was only feeling 80%, so we let him stay home. He kept busy drawing a picture to send to grandma and grandpa.

M is all about emptying the cupboards these days, which has reminded the other two kids how much they like to "collect" the food from our cupboards to make recipes. She also has lots of fun driving this little car (backwards of course), or running behind it. One of these days she'll decide to walk all on her own.

Hi guys
thanks for the web update. You have sure captured the essence of the kids in these pics, we are so looking forward to the drawings/pics/papers form the kids. Perhaps if you ask G to call us about his read a thon, it will give him a purpose to talk to us, would that be a good idea?
either way we support him of course! take care of our munchkins, love you and miss you all,
gramma and grandpa
