Snow-a-saurus

Howdy howdy. Long time no post. I had a great Thanksgiving. Went up to Grandma D's for the day and had fun playing with my cousins. It was a full house, but we had fun. On Friday, we drove to WI and spent the weekend up there. I enjoyed just playing and relaxing. Nana spoiled me, which is always a perk. We drove back in the beginning of the snow Sunday morning. It wasn't really too bad, but judging by Mom's reaction, you'd think it was the worst blizzard in history. She needs to CHILL!

It was warm enough here today to get out and play in the snow. We went out while Zach napped. He's not a huge fan of the snow and doesn't have any snow pants yet. I was out there for a couple hours! It was fun! The snow was a little dry, but we found a sunny, mushy spot and made a snow Stegosaurus. We painted him blue and green. He's not quite as grandiose as the Triceratops that Koller and Carly helped me with in the past, but he's still pretty nifty. I then helped mom shovel and hang up some garland. We don't know if Dad will get the icicle lights up this year or not, it is too slick up there right now. Oh! And the house is all decorated, too. We just need a wreath for above the fireplace. We're not going to chance a poinsetia again this year. I helped put all the keepsake ornaments on the tree and did my own little tree as well. Mom stuffed the advent calendar with Halloween Candy, but I'm not complaining. Times are tough, gotta recycle that candy! Zach is fascinated with the tree. Everytime he touches it, Mom gives him a swift rapping on the hand, it'll be no surprise if the kid grows up hating Christmas. At this rate, he's going to have some red hands. He's getting better, he just thinks they are all "balls" to play with. As long as he doesn't pull it over, we'll be in good shape.

I'm off to chug the rest of my cocoa. We've been making it at home at it is SO much better than the nasty packaged stuff. Mom made it with candy cane milk today and it was extra tasty. She keeps putting this stuff in a brown bottle into her mug....wonder what that is Mom?

Later taters!
