More snow pics

We are still playing in snow when we go outside...the boys like to use their shovels to dump snow from Kevin's piles on the sides of our driveway and put them on the driveway. I figure it helps the snow melt quicker during the day while the sun is out and gives the boys a good activity in the snow. Especially because there is so much snow that they can't walk in the yard or anything.

The schools finally went back today after missing all last week...we unfortunately didn't get to go to Bible study yesterday, hopefully next week.

Yorkshire pudding

I did it!! I made some yummy yorkshire pudding!! I thought it was going to be harder than it was. The recipe had said that it can be a little tricky for them to rise, but I think it turned out pretty well. And my mom reminded me that if it doesn't look pretty that's okay cause it will still taste good.

So, what is yorkshire pudding? Its like a puffed dough bread kind of thing...don't know how to describe it, but my grandma used to make it when she made a pot roast in the crockpot with mashed potatoes and a veggie!! I've been craving it lately for some reason and so I decided to try and make it. Yummy!!! I was very excited for it to turn out and to make a meal that my grandma used to make!

Drs. Caleb and TJ

Caleb got a doctor play set for his birthday from our good friends in Nevada. And the boys play with it almost every day. Kevin is usually the patient in the evenings after he gets home from work...he likes to play that game as then he can relax on the couch while the boys take care of him. They like to listen to hearts and give shots and band aids. Well, the boys decided to take care of the baby dolls tonight and give them medicine. Enjoy the videos! The other video is of TJ singing Jesus Loves Me!!

So, we are thankfully doing quite well in this snow storm. I'm especially thankful that we have not lost our power...it is still snowing now and has been since last night. So, we probably got another foot of snow on top of the 2 feet from the weekend.

It has been a blessing for us since I have been sick the last few days and Kevin has been home to take care of the boys. I have pretty much been sleeping or resting the last 3 days and I feel much better today. And of course, the boys have LOVED the extra daddy days.

Just a tad bit of snow : )

If you have been watching the news today, then you have seen all of the snow. And yes, we really have that much snow...we think about 30 inches at our house. Craziness for sure! It started yesterday at noon and is still going as I type. Last night after it had snowed for about 6 hours, I asked Kevin if it was still snowing and he said yes, honey, it will be snowing for at least 24 hours. Well, he's right, its still snowing! I did my best to take some pictures...Kevin started shoveling out by our garage and got a little bit done. Our neighbors said that we were getting it so badly because we missed the last big storm when we were in Florida. We did enjoy watching the snow storm on the weather channel in December in Florida. But, watching it from our window is fun also. We wanted to take the boys out for a little...TJ doesn't like to keep his mittens on so he didn't enjoy it very much. He lasted 10 minutes...Caleb enjoyed helping Kevin shovel. Of course, its a little difficult for the boys to play in the snow since we have so much...they can't exactly walk in it. We'll see...Monday, might be a better day to play in the snow.

However, both of my boys are also sick..we have spent the whole week pretty much inside except going to doctor's appointments. TJ had an ear infection and we got him antibiotics on Monday, then Caleb got worse as the week went on and he got an ear infection and got antibiotics on Friday. Both boys are feeling much better today, but still not the greatest...hopefully in a few days we can get healthy. I have also caught what the boys have, thankfully not as badly as they have it.

Anyone need a mechanic

The boys got tools from Aunt Kristen for Christmas and love them! They have been fixing everything in our house...so, let me know if you need 2 good and cute mechanics. They are very good with toys and plastic objects! I took a little video of them fixing their car table...that is their favorite thing to fix. They can get under the table just like mechanics! Well, we will probably be sending you some snow pictures since we are supposed to be getting a whole lot of snow tomorrow and Saturday. It's been quite a crazy winter here so far...everyone says this is not normal for Maryland...I guess we'll see next year. When we lived in Germany, they received an unusual amount of snow for the area we lived in also the first year...we'll have to see what God has in the future for us!
