Reprimanded

I have been reprimanded by my little sister who just arrived home for the Thanksgiving break. Apparently people read this silly thing, and would like an update here and there. Damn you people, don't you know I'm incredibly busy over here eating bon bons on the couch and watching the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills all day long?? Sheesh.

Because I have been so neglectful, I will begin by giving you this:

   

I'm sure it will come in handy someday if any of you need some blackmail material on me. Or the hubby for that matter. Needless to ay Halloween was AWESOME. How can it not be when one prances around in red spandex for hours? Jack Jack has a bit of a deer in the headlights thing going on, and Dash thought he was really Ironman, or as he says, I Run Man. But it was fun either way. Again, there was spandex, people.

Of course we also had the annual pumpkin carving forced family fun, which was way more fun than forced this year. 

The munchkin butchered three gourds while the peanut did his best with a box of crayons and a small puntin. Little Red became an expert ghost story teller thanks to his Grandma Penny, and Marci almost burned the house down. It doesn't get much better than that if you ask me.

It's officially winter here, and we have been taking advantage of the snow. Snowshoeing, sledding, and snowman making, oh my. The littlest man is sleeping as I write this, and the redheads are building something out in the snow. I'm not sure yet exactly what it's going to be yet, as the munchkin has popped his head in the door no less than a dozen times asking me for things like a humongous hat, an Argentina jersey, blocks, a knife, cups and a stick. Let's just pretend they're creative and not strange, OK?

The peanut is growing like a weed, and recently learned to do this very cool trick:

Of course we're so proud.

Other than that, we have just been hanging. 

If you got to hang out with these punks everyday you'd be reluctant to spend much time doing much else either.
