February 25th...winter has finally hit Minnesota

Well...we finally have a measurable amount of snow. I don't know exactly what we got last night, but it's over 12 inches...and it's snowing again now. We took the kids out this morning and they had so much fun.

Here is the yard this morning...

And the kids playing...

Me and Jaden doing snow angels...

And the kids...with Gretchen sick of being bundled up...

And finally...the big pile of snow from the snow plow...

More pictures later of Bob playing with his new toy...the snow blower!

Funny things the kids says....

Luke: "Mom, I just not that into cleaning."

Luke, after getting out of bed for the fourth time: "My goggy (doggy) needs one more kiss and hug." Yeah, right.

Luke: Asking if he can sleep in Jaden's bed tonight "Pwease...I do anything."

Rachel: "Sometimes I feel like I'm just a Popsicle in a Rachel suit."

Rachel: "Mom, look at that nutcracker. He looks sooo charming."

Me: "How did Luke get hurt?" (asking because he was bleeding and we were on our way to the ER for stitches)
Gretchen: "I pushed him. It was an accident, I think."

Jaden: "After a little bit can we talk about this boyfriend/girlfriend thing again, because I could use all the help I can get." (Lord help me, he's 8.)

Rachel: "Bow chicka bow wow."
Bob: "Where did you hear that?"
Rachel: "I made it up 8 years ago. It made me famous. I was in newspapers all over the land."

Jaden: "Mom, it's the first day of school and Rachel already has a boyfriend."
Me: "Rachel, you have a boyfriend?"
Rachel: "Yes."
Me: "What's his name?"
Rachel: "I don't remember. But he had a red shirt on."

Jaden yells: "Mom, Luke peed on Rachel!"

Rachel: "Mom, Luke is my nemesis."

Gretchen: "I am the master and you should listen to my mouth."

Jaden: "School must be really long in heaven."
Me: "Why?"
Jaden: "Well, if 1000 years is as a day and a day as a 1000 years, that's one long school day."

Rachel: "I can see good in the dark, but I'm not nocturnal."

Me: "Rachel, could you tell Louie to get out of the sandbox if he jumps in?"
Rachel: "Yes, but I don't speak puppy."

Rachel: "Mom, Jesus lives in my heart and I think he's grocery shopping."

Me, to Luke while he's looking in the fridge: "Are you hungry?"
Luke: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Jaden: "Mom, Rachel and Gretchen are being the A word."
Me: "What A word?" (a little concerned)
Jaden: "Annoying"

Rachel, when talking about our latest snail that died: "I think we must have given him too much allergy to eat." (obviously she meant algae)

Gretchen: "Prince Charming's name is Josiah. He is my best friend and I'm going to marry him."

Gretchen: "Mom, I'm the ruler. Say, 'Gretchen, you're the ruler.'"

Jaden: "Did the deer fall down dead or did he just lose an antler?" (after we hit a deer)

Rachel: "there's no brain in my head, it's a green polka-dot idea emergency."

Rachel: "Sometimes people that doesn't have brains don't think." (she doesn't know how right she is :) )

Rachel: "My teacher is going to say, 'oh my, those curls are very unusual.'"

Me: "Gretchen, what's your name?"
Gretchen: "Gretchen Elizabeth Come Here."
