first half of January

There haven't been that many days of snow this winter, but the kids went out to play on January 5th and had fun.


They enjoyed some hot chocolate with lots of whipped cream in their snowman mugs to warm up.

Dusty enjoys tormenting Crumpet, but sometimes Crumpet still lets him snuggle her bum. Cute!

Faith had another Apple Village Retirement Center field trip on the 8th and sang some patriotic songs.

Faith loves reading to the "grandparents"!

After that, we went to Petco in Layton. The kids got to pet a gecko and hear all about their birds, rodents (the ferrets were a big hit) and fish pets for sale.

On the 8th, Christian peeped in the potty and I promised him a treat at the store. He found this giant cupcake on the day-old rack for cheap, so I let him have it. He enjoyed the heck out of that thing!

Later that day, the kids really got into the Wii Sports Resort game they got for Christmas. They were cycling so hard that they got hot and had to take their shirts off! :D

The Lowe's craft on January 9th was a pet treat keeper. The kids are loving all the building projects lately!


On our field trip to PetCo, I couldn't pass up the deal on this pet carrier bag. Marked down from $37 to $7!! We knew Crumpet might not appreciate it, but I think our stuffed animals will ;) Still, Crump let Faith tote her a bit on that Sunday to grandma's.
At Tony's parents' I was trying to get a cute shot of Faith snuggling her dad, but Buddy jumped into frame at the last minute. He looks like he just couldn't contain his mischievousness!

On January 13th, the entire second grade went on a field trip to the Treehouse Museum. Right after we got there, they started by having the kids act out an enhanced (by adding more characters and a bit of subplot) version of the Three Little Pigs. Faith was so excited to get picked! The hot pink pigs were the parents.

Faith was the Silly Little Pig and built her house out of straw.

The Big Bad Wolf huffed, and he puffed, and he blew her house down!

After the stick house bit it, Faith's friend (boyfriend, actually, according to her) Spencer, who was the Smart Little Pig, built his house out of bricks.

It kept them all safe and they managed to scare away the wolf!

After making cool scepters out of clear straws, sparkle pipe cleaners and model magic, they went upstairs and learned about royalty. They then got about an hour to play in the exhibits. Christian had a blast.

The cowboy dress up was his favorite activity!

He even got to milk a plastic cow by "squeezing a cow's bubs."
The kids had so much fun, we need to go back soon and spend a lot more time in the exhibits. It had been too long since our last visit!
