Sledding

The kids had been sledding a while before I came out. I was making pumpkin pie so we could have it after dinner. This was the last time they went down. I had to go back in after making the snowman to check on the pie and I cme back with the camera so I could get these shots.
Here is Munsters ride.





Dads turn!




I want to do it like daddy.
Gotta turn around.
Okay GO!
Wooooow!
Wooooooooooooooooow!
Good thing the snow is so deep.
I want to do it like daddy too.
Okay maybe not.
I'm flying!

Oh, White wash!


Watch this one mom.
The gear up.
and GO!



Last time Web.


weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!


Blaaaaa!
Let's go together!



Mommies turn! I want to go with mom says web.
Munster gave us a push.


We made it to the bottom.

One last ride.
Look out mom here we come!


THE EVIL LOOK ON THAT FACE SAYS IT ALL. I AM GOING TO GET YOU MOM!
AAAAAAAAA We missed her.

Today we were able to get the Munster to school. The tree's are still all over the roads and peoples yards. This was the second largest snow fall for here in recorded history. The biggest was in 1955. We had fun with the kids in the snow. Here are the pics.

Here are Web and Daddy shoveling the snow in the yard.

Shake the tree here Daddy!


This was Six shaking the tree in the road. Most of these pics were taken by Munster. If you look closely you can see that he is covered in snow. The branch broke off the tree and he was covered as it fell.

This is where the branch broke from. This is higher up than you would think. The total of branches broken on the tree is 5. But the tree is still standing.

Here are two of the branches break spots.

This is all the broken branches lying on top of each other.

Here come the boys back in the house.

This is a tree across the street. It lost three branches. Two of them are in the road.
There is an alley separating us from the house on the other side of the fence here. This tree lost a branch there on the ground. Just by the telephone pole there is another tree that you can see. The whole tree was lost.
The snowman.
We all made this together. It was fun.
He has a candy corn for a nose. Munster bought them so she could make a snowman with a good nose.

OUR SNOW

Yes, I said snow. On Friday we got 2 inches. We got 9 inches yesterday and then more last night.

This is web's snow man. He started to melt before I got the picture but we had fun with him. This was Friday after the snow melted.

This was Saturday's snow fall in the morning by the afternoon we were expecting 9-14 inches to fall and it did. Now we are shielded from a lot of the snow and wind so we don't get as much in the yard. But as you can see we did get some.
This is the kids Saturday morning looking at the snow.

The kids played in the snow all morning. They also found the tomato plants and decided to play with the cages.

Yes, those are skewered tomatoes.
Look at me mom.
Web thought that it looked like fun so he had to try.

The reflection in the window is bad on these but I thought they were cute pics.



No, don't hit the window web.
This is today's snow and it is still falling. The tree has two branches that go over our fence. But they have come together with the weight of the snow.
The story on the tree today is that it has lost 3 branches on the road side and it is a possibility that it will fall. Either into the townhouse or the carport. We moved the cars and we can't go anywhere so we are praying that it doesn't hit us. No church today that I guess is a good thing.
Okay so here is the severe storm warning for today. I think this explains our weather pretty well. They called on the tree and are going o get to it when they can there are accidents all over the interstate. On exit 27 there is a multiple truck accident because they were trying to get off the road and they ll slid into each other.

Update

We finaly have a pumpkin growing. But we don't think it will make it to Halloween. It is the size of a softball.It might not get big enough in time. It was fun to grow a garden though.

Munster is doing well in school. Even though she is in Kindergarten they put her in a first grade reading class because she reads so well. They also have a sign language class coming available and she wants to do that too. She is so smart and she is doing so well.

Web is also reading a little bit. He suprises me every now and then when we are reading. "Mom that says swim". Not bad for three. He loves to do learning games on the computer and much to my dismay he loves to play on the wii. But we try to find educational games for them to play on that.

Six is a scout master now. He works with the 11-12 year olds. It is a great calling for him.

They changed my calling a bit. Instead of teaching the sunday school class for the 14and 15 year olds. I now teach the sunday school class for the 12-16 year olds. I have 22 kids in my class. HELP!!!! They are great though. They all want to learn to dance and so we are thinking of puting a class together for them.

The Birthday cake.

This year I decided to just buy a cake for Web or should I say MONSTER. We had just come back from the store with the cake and mom not thinking put the cake on the table. Dad called mom down stairs to help him with finding decorations. When we got back upstairs the little MONSTER had cake all over his face. He sampled the cake and frosting. In a panic because we had guests coming we tried to salvage what we could. We had a good laugh from it though.This is the cake Web chose.
This is Munsters present to Web.
