More pictures of winter fun.

Winter fun

Today we are having a snow day. It makes me sad that the triplets didn't get their Christmas party at preschool. They don't seem to mind, seeing as how all they wanted to do this morning is play in the snow. It is the first time they have been able to play outside this winter. It has been too cold. If you couldn't have guessed... getting triplets ready to play in the snow takes for ever. Thankfully they were being really patient. It also helps to have a husband who owns his own business, a busines that is really slow right now. Brian didn't go into work until 11am. After they played in the snow, they drank cold chocolate. Cold chocolate is their version of hot chocolate, it's just chocolate milk in a coffee cup. It's funny what they think of. They had a blast seeing Santa. It took them a minute to warm up to him, but once the presents came out it was game over. We are counting down to Christmas with out Advent calendars. That has been a God send. It has diverted many days of "is it Christmas today?" Only 6 more days until Christmas...YEAH!

Cookie Baker

Tonight we have a cookie exchange and santa visit for my work. I decided to bake some cookies to take to the exchange. Alison is my helper, and in true form she was right by my side "helping". I attempted to make brownie cookies, which didn't turn out so well. I used the remainder of the batter to make regular brownies. Alison helped by cleaning the bowl when I was done with it. I am pretty sure she got more on her face than in her tummy. I can't wait to see the kids with santa tonight.

We have gotten into guitar hero. The kids love to play it. They watched their cousin Eric play and he was really good. So, they always ask why they get boo'd and he didn't. I just remind them that he's good at the game and we are just learning. They think it is funny when each other gets boo'd.

Halloween is my favorite holiday, next to Christmas. October has been filled with fun activities such as going to the pumpkin patch with the preschool class, boo @ the zoo & trunk or treating at church. We went to the pumpking patch and had a great time picking out pumpkins. Of course, we had to pick out the biggest pumpkins we could find. Like carrying 3 pumpkins by myself wasn't bad enough, I had to carry 3 heavy ones. Alison LOVED the haunted houses. She probably does better in them than I do.
The kids had a halloween party at preschool. They got to wear costumes and bring home a ton of candy. This year we are street lights. When I had the idea the kids were totally into it. That, of course, changed when the costumes hit the stores. It took alot of convincing to get them to wear the street lights. After the prek party they are said.... "I thought I wanted to be a ..princess, batman, scooby doo, etc." Next year I'm pretty sure they won't go with the triplet theme.
We have taken them trick or treating twice so far. They really don't need to go out on halloween, they have so much candy already. The costumes are way to cute to only wear 1 day.
