Here is another quick update!

I can not believe it is December already! Well what I have learned about winter is that both of my children LOVE the snow! They both love to see it out the window first thing and they run to put their snow clothes on so they can go play. Seth throws the biggest fit if it takes me longer than 3 seconds to get all of his gear- so of course it is a task to get him dressed! Once we are out they both run to the slide and need help getting up the stairs because they have to much stuff on! Then for the rest of the time they eat the snow. They love it no matter how cold and red their nose gets they still scoop up handfuls of fresh white snow! It reminds me of when I was little and I had a teacher that said not to eat it because all of the pollutYou can eat snow just not yellow ants in the air came in the snow! I said it then and I say it now- "snow or snow from a car or the street!"

Inside we have been doing some home improvements. I repainted our small bathroom downstairs and right now we are redoing the fireplace. We tore out the nasty brick and are putting in black/gray tile all we have left to do is fut in the grout and build a new mantel. It is looking really nice. Next on my List is painting the living room! My big project is to tear down a wall from our kitchen to our dining room! I don't think that will happen too soon!

Mikayla has reached a new level of artistry! She can make people with bodies! It is so cute. already she is better than me- she got Aunt Britt, Britt and Papa's talent! She has also started gymnastics and is loving it. At first she did not want to go- I told her she only has to go one time and if she didn't like it we would never go again. She came out and said "I love it can we come back tomorrow?" Then the next week we took her in she kicked off her shoes and ran in with out even saying good bye!
