Trap

Sam: Mommy, can you help me find all the parts for my trap?  I need a chain, a big metal bowl, and an alien to walk under the trap.
Me: Which alien?
Sam: The alien that always glows when it's time to do work at school.  It never glows when it's time to play.

Bright Sunshiny Days

We've been getting some beautiful Spring weather in the Dallas area this past week.  It's been in the 70's and sunny.  I even took Cleo for a walk in shorts!

We played outside all day last Sunday.  We met the Vorndran's at Purple Cow for lunch and the kiddos  ran around for a solid hour.

Brodie is getting sooo big!  Ben was showing off his new Crocs - very important for potty training.  Ben has been wearing underwear to school for two weeks now.  The first week didn't go so great, but he's really gotten the hang of it this week!

We ended the day with a special fro-yo treat.

Little Benny Garden Gnome!

Snowmass - Part 5 - The End

Towards the end of the week, we took off early from skiing so we could take the kids up the larger gondola to see more of the mountain.  It was starting to snow pretty heavy and there was lots of snow to play in.  It was so dry that it wouldn't stick together in a snowball.

Snow angels make you cold!

And back down again ...

Mimi and Mister went to Aspen for the day.  Hmmm ... what an interesting name.

We cooked breakfast every day we were there ... 5 dozen eggs.

Ice Age Discovery Museum.  They made a huge discovery of bones and fossils nearby Snowmass in May 2010, including mammoth and mastodons.  Ben's day care group had taken a field trip there earlier in the day and he wanted to go back and spend more time looking around.

Back home safely at DFW.

Oh, vacation, I miss you already!
