We may only have 4 more Sundays.  Moving is emotionally complex.

Nuts!

Unfortunately, every mixed bag of Halloween candy bars has those pesky Snickers mixed in.  Our leftover Snickers fell back in the trenches of the food storage organizer. 
These tiny little arms are just the right size to fish them out though.  So when Josh needs a little chocolate he knows just where to go. 
He does not, however, care for the nuts.  He will eat the entire candy bar while storing the nuts in his mouth and sucking off every last bit of sugar.  Then he disposes of them (this morning it was on the kitchen floor) and we find a nice little pile of chopped nuts.
Thus supporting my theory that no one likes nuts in desserts!  (Same is true of raisins)

House

The mudding and taping will be all done this week (first coat is done) and moldings and trim will start to go up.  Close date is supposed to be around Feb. 20.

Snowballs

Kent was doing some work outside.  Hayden was sent outside for "outdoor recess".  Yes, in his jammies.  Mommy was frustrated with his tiny little body.  Sawyer joined in for the fun when he saw Hayden out there, in his jammies too. The boys (minus Josh) had a little snowball fight together.  I am glad we have got some snow here before we move.  It makes it feel like we got our winter in Connecticut one last time.

Hayden's Holiday Party

This is from back in December when Hayden had his Christmas party at school.  They are in a circle holding 'gently used' books to donate to the homeless shelter.  We had two "Corduroy" books at home so I picked one to donate.  The trouble is Hayden left it in his backpack.  On purpose.  He said he just couldn't give it away because Corduroy is so cute.   Grrr.

First taste of Nutella

 

I think he likes it!
