Ok Mr. Winter, we surrender!

I feel like I keep posting pictures of snow; us playing in the snow, another snowstorm, making some snow project.  I mean, I'm ok with snow, but after over 60 inches of it in one season I am D-O-N-E.  Seriously.

 A simple lesson in gravity.  Sure, go ahead and throw a snowball at mom on the deck, see how that works out for ya.  Darn physics!
 Baby boy has decided it's necessary to sprout 6 teeth all at once.  4 on top and 2 on bottom.  He's had some cranky bits, but for the most part he is dealing just fine.
 Noah's writing continues to improve.  His New Years Resolution this year is to walk his dog.  In the picture he's waving "hi Deven" to his friend across the street.
 Uncle Josh has been a savior on Sundays.  Mike goes bowling, which typically means mommy runs solo with 3 rambunctious boys for the afternoon/evening.  Uncle Josh comes over for dinner and some play time, which usually results in this...
 Noah's artwork also continues to impress us as well.  Here's a picture of Ellie.
 Last weekend was the Fun Fair at Waterbury Elementary (Noah's school).  The balloon artist was a favorite activity.  
 Sammy's dog actually survived a walk home in the snow and a whole week before deflating!
 Face paint, it's no Daddy job; but for middle school aged artists it ain't too shabby!

 Isaac's hair has been the topic of discussion lately.  I hate to cut it too much before my baby turns 1, but it is getting a tad ridiculous!
 Making a cake for our superbowl party requires a shirtless Sam.
 Bamma found some Jammy Sammys, which have been a big hit at snack time.
 Noah's been participating in a basketball class through the local park district.  Coach Bob (who was coach of the baseball class and soccer class) has been showing Noah the basics of dribbling and shooting.
 Anything to get the energy out of our housebound eldest on a Wednesday evening is a good thing!
 He still claims that soccer is his sport, but he's had a lot of fun!
 For Fun Friday this week, we decided to hit 2 Toots, the train restaurant in nearby Bartlett.
 It was better than TV, the boys were entranced!
 Even Isaac took pause from his meal (which is RARE) to check it out.


 And, of course, more snow came yesterday.  We really have no place to put it in our driveway.  I was hefting scoopfuls onto piles that were 4-5 feet high!  You can see the height here where Noah is as tall as our outside lamppost!
 Check it out mom, I can touch the tree!
So, I'm hoping this is my last post with snow pictures for the 2013-2014 season.  I really do.  Can we get to June now?  That would be great, thanks.
