Snow, snow and well, more snow.

My little family has made the best of all the snow that we have had and went into the back yard  and

used garbage cans to make a snow fort. The fact that they are using garbage cans as forms is a small  indication as to how much snow we have.  I don't remember having this much snow all at once since I was about 8 years old. The snow fort isn't quite finished the back side needs a few more can fulls and the tarp roof has to be installed and there was talk of lanterns and winter camping!?! That isn't going to happen, the battery operated lantern, yes but the winter camping is a no-no. Jillianne announced this afternoon that she is done with the snow because it is just to hard to walk in the yard. I didn't have the heart to tell her that spring is at least another 5 weeks away. Well even if I told her , she doesn't seem to mind staying indoors especially now that we have a wii. Jillianne and Ireland have taken quite a liking to this new gaming system.  They have exhausted their wii characters.  They actually fell asleep.

Okay, well maybe that's not the reason but these little miis have had their fair share of playing time.

I have never heard so many giggles come out my two girls, you just have to laugh right along with them. We have set a limit because what kind of parents would we be ? Half an hour of wii and then they need to find something else to, so out of the mothballs came the light bright this afternoon and voila a very cute fishy creation.

Kerrington is enjoying the wii but not as much as the other two. She is enjoying the finer things of teenage hood,

like the hefty family promotion of getting her own house key. She went with daddy to the hardware store and picked out her own key.  She chose a very cute but very functional Tinkerbell key.  She was pretty excited about the whole thing.  Now if she could only learn how to unlock the front door!!!

In other very exciting news she now has a

 hair straightener. (well it is exciting if you are 13)  It does a really nice job, but Daddy doesn't like it because having her hair straight makes her look older.  From the back it is really pretty and feminine.

Maybe one day we'll get use to the fact that she is growing up but that won't be today.

Until next time,  Joceline
