Our first snow!

We got snow!  Jacob and Ellie were loving the snow today.  I wasn't sure how Ellie would react to the snow this year because of her great dislike for it last year.  She LOVED it!  Hannah got to go and play in the snow with her friend, Darby Allison, at her house today.  Here are some snapshots of our fun time.  Here are a couple of videos to watch from Facebook as well.  One and Two.

Ellie was giving the stick horse some loves in the snow.

Ellie's Issues

I gave Ellie some pudding for her snack today.  I walked away and came back to a sticky mess!  She was sticky enough that it was worth just throwing her into the bath tub.  Later she bonked her noggin on the coffee table and got a pretty good goose egg.

 Sticky!

 All clean!

 She bonked her bean!

Preschool Field Trip: Off to the Farm!

Today our co-op preschool class went on a field trip to a pumpkin farm.  They had a hay maze that Jacob loved and Ellie got lost in.  The kids also enjoyed climbing on the hay wall.  Jacob was thrilled with his humongous pumpkin that he picked out!

Jacob WINS!

Today was Jacob's last soccer practice of the season.  Instead of practicing though they had a little party.  Coach Taysa brought cupcakes and some of the other parents brought other treats. Jacob also received his 1st trophy!  It has his named engraved on it and everything!  We are so proud of Jacob and his new talent!

So excited to get his very own trophy!
