Watching Dad dig us out & Mom's Restaurant


Yesterday was the snow...today was the shovelling! Church was cancelled because of hazardous driving conditions. The news last night said that it was the worst snow fall in 100 years. Wow! Jon has today off, so he was able to dig us out this morning. It took quite a while and most of the kids went out with him to watch. I looked out the window to see Kate sitting in a camping chair happily watching her dad shovel.


When you're the 4th child, the chances of finding matching mittens is one in a million. Good thing she doesn't care!


Last night at dinner time, in order to make eating leftovers sound fun to eat, I told the kids that they were coming to my restaurant and I would take their orders. They loved it and laughed when I treated them like they were eating at a restaurant. Well, then this morning, I asked Jack what he wanted for breakfast. His reply was "Aren't you going to take my order?" Then during lunch, he commented, "I eat at this place every day because the food is so good." What a funny kid!

Your kids are so funny and so cute. Mikes parents live in Dayton, so we've been hearing all about the horrible snow. It was 80degrees in Phoenix yesterday, we were playing softball in shorts and a t-shirt and were as warm as ever :)
