Litter Pick Up

This afternoon, Reagan's Girl Scout troop headed to a local park to pick up trash.  The girls have been learning all about water ~ how to conserve it, keeping it clean, etc.  They picked up several bags of trash and learned the lesson that they should always use a trash can!

 The Troop

Dinosaur Attack

Looks like Snowflake was in a bit of a bind last night!

 

Have a Drink

Snowflake was thirsty tonight from all the travelling back and forth to the North Pole!

 

Candle Flake

Snowflake found his way into one of the candle holders this morning - hope he doesn't melt!

 

On the Water

Snowflake is tired of all the rain, he wants to go out on the boat and look at the marine (bath) animals!

 

A Note

Snowflake wrote a little note to Reagan and Cooper letting them know he'd missed them while they were away!

 

Exciting Stuff!

It has been an exciting end to our anniversary day!  After we picked up the kids, we pulled in the driveway to see Snowflake looking out the window, watching for Reagan and Cooper to come back home.

he missed them so much!

 We also had a visitor waiting on us outside our garage...a raccoon!

 It wouldn't move, it would just look up at us and then put his head back down.  Not sure if it is injured, pregnant or just cold.  We'll see if it's still there in the morning!

 We hadn't had family movie night in a few weeks, so we decided to start back up the tradition by having pizza, watching The Polar Express and having cookies and hot chocolate

 And, last but not least, Cooper lost his 2nd tooth this evening!  How cute is that smile?

SEVENTEEN

Greg and I celebrated 17 years of marriage today!!  The kids had a sleepover at Gigi and Bubba's house last night, so we were able to spend the day together, just the two of us!  We had breakfast at Cracker Barrel, ran some errands, lunch at Aubrey's and then went grocery shopping!!!

Greg is so sneaky!

Diving In

Snowflake ate all of the ice cream last night!  Reagan and Cooper love caramel cone ice cream and I guess Snowflake wanted to try some for himself!

I think he likes it!

Snowflake's Snowflakes

Snowflake was busy doing arts and crafts overnight.  He cut out a few paper snowflakes for the kids.  Cooper said he was a "little confused" because Snowflake had snowflakes, it "just doesn't make sense!"

 

 

After school today, the kids did their annual gel cling window decorations in their bedrooms.

Cooper's display

 Reagan got in the "snowflake" mood!

 they also decorated a window in the toy room

Nativity

Snowflake wanted to see the Nativity up close this morning.

 

Light it Up

Snowflake did a little decorating overnight.  The kids awoke to Christmas lights in the hallway!
