play day

On Fridays Campbell and I usually lay low and wrap up the things I didn't manage to get done during the week. It is the only day that we don't have a "plan" and so sometimes we are lucky enough to happen upon a play date. Yesterday morning we had Eli over to play while Amy took the girls to the doctor.

The boys had such a good time. The played like crazy and at one point they were on a hunt for wild animals.

Then we all got an invite to head over to Vivian and Bauer's house for some play time and lunch... Even a little popsicle treat (hard to imagine that they were eating popsicles barefoot outside yesterday and now I am cuddling with my heating pad, but it's true.)Thanks everybody for a super fun day!

snap, crackle, pop

As a special after school snack today we made rice crispy treats.

Sometimes i let my fear of a mess get in the way of a fun project, but today we pulled out all the stops. i even let the boys dig through our bucket of 5o animal cookie cutters.

Then we decorated our treats with m&m's and marshmallows.


We ended up with some beautiful creations. a dolphin, a penguin, a dinosaur, a chick, a lizard, a frog and my favorite a parrot.

we finally gave in and got 2 dogs....

.....or at least two little boys have just decided to be the dogs.

snowman

On one of our non-skiing days we made a few snowmen.

Wilson claimed the big one and by default Campbell got the little guy, though in reality Pete and I are the ones who should be laying claim.

We miss these guys.

tubing

On our last full day at Copper we headed over to the tube hill. We honestly almost didn't do this out of fear it would be more geared for big kids, but it was a blast. One of my favorite things we did and the boys LOVED it!

We all took turns riding with each other, but for the most part Pete and Wilson were a team and Campbell and I were a team.

Campbell laughed the whole way down and Wilson would always have a few words, like "sweet dude" or "that was awesome!"There were 5 tube lanes and we tested them all out.

Tubing was a super fun way to spend our last day...we even got lucky with the weather, it was the warmest day all week (around 20 degrees.)

skiing

One day my dad and i took my parents camera out with us skiing. We didn't manage to take many pictures, it's lots of work to take off gloves and unzip and put it all back in and on, but we did manage to pull it out a few times

and the best part was that we ran into Wilson and Campbell's ski class on the mountain, just after they rode their first real ski lift.

so cutie!!! and a little scary, but just for me.
