Snowy Peaks!

It feels like a rare occasion to have everyone home together on a weekend day! It is and will be a rare occasion, so we took it and ran! Lydia got curls in her hair, Mommy too, and the boys got hair cuts! The Ford was in the shop having tune ups and fixes galore, so we rented a Tahoe and pretended to have a life with a bigger, faster, and funner vehicle! A vehicle that allows me to have 80 degree vents while Steve has 65 degrees....that's cool!

We started the trip to White Sands and decided against it when we realized we'd be driving or 4 hours each way...so we turned around and went to the Tram. We were nearly there when we looked to the peak of the mountains and saw snow, so we turned around, stoped at Khols for sweatshirts and socks, and drove back to the mountains!

Of course, we couldn't resist some Halloween action!

On a different note, I am thoroughly disappointed in school peers...I wrote a note for Connor, tucked it in his lunch this week, and I was informed that the children took his lunch pail from him when they saw he had a note, read it, and laughed at him. Connor said he felt sad and embarrassed. Seriously, he's in 2nd grade--the mocking and stupidity has already started? Grrrr....

Here's my snugglie little teddy bear right before we took the tram to the peak. At the top the winds were 20mph and it was 27 degrees. There was snow and ice...and a toddler who thought she could run every which direction. I was a panicked mess as I imagined her throwing her self of the peak...so we stayed up there for 15 minutes.

She's gorgeous!!!

Some kisses for my Aiden, who has been out all week or a corneal abrasion. He is looking fabulous now! The week prior he was out of school for strep throat...Kindergarten is not going well :(

Some kisses for my Liddy!

And we ended the night with "CJ dadda"!

Our heads came up out of the water yesterday for a breath of fresh air as we let go and had fun...the boys have continued even into this morning to talk about how much fun we had yesterday!
