snow day

This morning, we woke to a beautiful blanket of snow. It fell all morning. I’m guessing we have about three inches. Up at 7:00…no school, yeah!…out the door at 7:15.

walking the yard with aunty

The twins took the wagon for a spin again this afternoon. It’s a beautiful afternoon. The asters are covered with butterflies, bees and beetles. The sugar maples are pretty this year. The twins love to be outside. And it was great to get out of the kitchen for a change! 🙂 ~~Rhonda

turn your back for 30 seconds…

She’s a fast one! I did a few dishes, turned around to check on the girls, and there was Panda Bear, helping herself to a powdered formula snack. ~~Grandma :-}

Bath, bottle, bed…in that order. And aren’t they sweet? ~~Rhonda 🙂
