1st snow day of the season!

2 days ago it was in the 70's and today we got about 8" of snow! Ben has been looking forward to winter for weeks now and has just been so excited today to play in the snow with Faith. Since Mike's been extra busy at work lately, that left me in charge of helping them build a snowman this afternoon... notice there are no pictures of the snowman :) After continual snowfall for about 18 hours, it looks like we're done for this time. The temps are supposed to fall tonight, though, which I'm sure will add lots more falling tree limbs around here.Rae got her 1st tub bath last night. She doesn't sit up by herself too well yet, but she splashes around in her baby tub too much to use that anymore. Here's what she thinks about the "real" tub...
Saturday we took the kids to the pumpkin patch, so I'll post those pictures soon. The kids painted some of the pumpkins and tomorrow we're going to make a pumpkin pie from one of the pumpkins (Ben's idea).

Besides that, we're looking forward to the upcoming holidays and Mike's trip to PA for his grandfather's 80th birthday. Mike and I had fun last weekend refinishing a bookcase together. Well, that's all that's new with us. Have a great night, all!
