Random February Things

Drawings by Nicolas,

I read to my kids the book The Dog Who Wouldn't Be by Farley Mowat. It was hilarious.  

I got my hair cut.

I also bought myself a new sewing machine.  A treadle one!!

My life with Elena summed up.  She was still miserable about the move to Wichita.

We were Bruno fans.

Weird cats.

Nicolas ALWAYS wore a hat and bowtie to church. So dapper!

Sebas had to was the potatoes for dinner and made this in the process.

SMAUG!!

Aww, Jubal loves Anders his cousin.

Snow Day!

 

We brought the snow with us from Wyoming.  Wichita had more snow days that winter than they had had for a long time. Each time it was barely an inch or two. Efraim still made a snowman though.  And my kids complained bitterly that I had given away our sleds and snowboards.  I don't know that the 12 hours of snow was worth keeping them.  

I started plants in my Christmas present!

We spent the snow day making gingerbread houses that I bought after Christmas for $1 a piece.  

So cute!

Everyone had a great time.

Except poor Elena had the broken one.

Watching Smaug eat in slow motion is quite hilarious.
