Snow Removal Anyone?

Can you believe this kid?!? Cesar is out of town, and this kid wanted to be outside for a while during the big snow storm. I was busy in the house with the girls, so I didn't pay much attention to what he was doing outside for so long, even though I kept looking out the window at him. After about thirty minutes he asked me to bring him some hot chocolate, but, he assured me he was okay and didn't want to come in. After another fifteen minutes, I looked outside to see what he was doing and this is what I found....
He had shoveled about 9 inches of snow off of our driveway! Seriously! He wanted to go down the street to help the neighbor shovel their driveway and he wanted to help shovel the road, but since it was dark, I had to say no. :) Needless to say, he was tired and ready for bed when he was done. And, he asked me for a dollar for all of his hard work. :) I was happy to give him a dollar. I told him I would give him a dollar anytime he shovels the driveway for me. :) Such a good heart!

My Darling Dad

My dad is so darling! We are so fortunate to have him close, although I would like him even closer. He has had a lot of trials in his life, yet he is upbeat, and happy most of the time. We love having him for dinner each Sunday. We got home from church one afternoon and found my dad had raked up most of the leaves in the back yard. The kids had a blast running and jumping in the pile of leaves. He is always saying what good kids he has, but I remind it that that is all his fault. If he wasn't such a good dad he wouldn't have to worry about that. :) We hope that someday he can come and live with our crazy family. Wouldn't that be fun?

Halloween Costumes 2010

Is Halloween over? After what seemed like endless costume parties, I am totally okay with Halloween being over! Samuel made a fierce Storm Trooper and Rock Star. Lauren made a great scary witch and a mean princess. And our sweet baby Bella was a happy pink dragon.

For one of the parties, Cesar and I dressed up as Lucy and Desi from "I Love Lucy". Cesar looked the part...I on the other hand HATED my look. So, for the next party, I went as
a Zombie mom. More fitting. :)

Cesar took the kids trick or treating this year. He dressed as a Rock Star. :) Love that look, especially the hair. Isabella insisted on having her face painted. She had to match the mean princess who also insisted on having her face painted.
