Snow!

Kylie and Brie came to spend the night and it snowed over a foot. Fun times.

Brie was really confused about Sean's broken arm. "Did it break off and they had to put it back on?" What a freaky thought for a little kid, an arm falling completely off. She was happy to learn Sean still had two arms attached to his body.

Kylie is missing both her top teeth. When we were putting the kids to bed Don asked if he should make a bed at the foot of our bed like he did the first night they came to our house. In two weeks it will be five years since these kids came into our lives. It is amazing how great the girls are. Their favorite saying is "holy moly!" I can't help but look at them and think where they would be if DCFS hadn't finally intervened.

Yep, eventually I had to break down and cut open the arm of one of his coats. I thought we could get away with sweatshirts until he gets his cast off but they don't really work for playing in the snow. Sean said "Oh good it's snowing we can go skiing." A kid after his dad's heart.

Classic childhood picture. The snow was very dry and didn't make good snowmen. It wouldn't make a ball so our snowman is more like a triangle with a hat on it.
