Snowy day

It is January, this should be the weather we are used to. That is not the case this year. Jace was excited to get outside and help scoop the driveway. "What are these called?" He asked when Joel handed him his snow pants. Seriously?!? We really need to get this kid up to the mountains this year.

The boys clear the driveway.

Julianne and I watched from the front window. She was practicing her sitting. She's getting better at it everyday but I still only let go of her for the second that it took to get this picture.


Julianne watches Jace out the window.

The kids and I spent the day inside. I learned that Julianne has some ticklish spots on her sides. Jace spread Legos all over the floor and build dozens of little machines. My favorite was the "shooter" that made different flavors of ice cream and a variety of toppings then delivered them to me with "Ka-poosh" sound.
I realized that when Jace asks me to play Legos he actually wants me to sit and watch him build. He was distraught when he realized I had built something out of his "favorite, favorite boat." In my defense, I thought I was just building with loose pieces out of the box. Mommys don't know much about Legos.
I redeemed myself by helping Jace make banana muffins.

Joel came home early today so that I could go to the Dr. for a lung function test. It was a series of breathing exercises preformed while hooked up to machine that made colorful graphs based on my breathing. I didn't learn anything today. I have to wait until next week to talk to the Dr. and find out what all the charts mean.

Julianne enjoys peas. She is the only one in our family who will eat a second helping of peas.

Our evening ended with a battle about who was going to clean up the Legos. It did not end well but Joel and I both enjoyed the excuse Jace used for being on the Ipad when he was supposed to be cleaning up. "I was going to look how to clean up Legos."
