Fisher's First Real Snow

Today was the first day Fisher had seen real snow. He was not too sure about it at first but once he went and got his googles on he was a new kid. I think he was tired of the snowflakes sticking to his eyelashes. The boys had some friends over after school and imagine their thrill when they found after school there was 6 inches of snow. They had a great time with Joey, Finn and Jackson!

Cleaning

Today was a major cleaning day from cleaning the walls to under the fridge and vacuuming under all cushions. Peter was out to finish up the Lego sorting.

EB got a few nests of bunnies under the fridge -- she was loving it!

Busted Tate for sitting on the job -- he was supposed to be vacuuming under the cushions.

Fisher was on fire with a bottle of spray and doors and trim to clean.

There was no stopping Peter with his lego sorting.  

Brothers!

I love that the boys love each other!

Zoo Lights

We headed to Brookfield Zoo today as it was WARM in Chicago -- 49 degrees! Does not get any nicer than this in December!

It was very smelly looking at the Hippo and the only one of the kids that could not handle the smell was Fisher.  The picture below cracks me up.  He had just gotten done telling me he saw these in Sidama!

Picture of us finally!

LOVE this picture of the 4 kids together!

Time for some playground fun!

EB wanted to run off with the Wolves!

Chinatown!

My cousin Alyssa was in town for Christmas and we were so glad she came out to spend the night with us. We were excited to show her the City and after much debate about what we were going to do we decided on lunch in Chinatown! We all had so much fun and the best part for the kids was they got Whistle Candy. It is nice and loud -- what is better than candy and loud?
