Andrea the Slacker

I haven't posted anything for quite a while, probably because I am really bad at taking photos and I feel that when I post I need something to show everyone. I am grateful that the inversion is gone and I can see what the blue sky looks like again. I am grateful for the snow that we received these past couple of days, I especially love to look at the trees when there is snow outlining every single twig and branch. How can we not know that there is a Heavenly Father that created all of this???

I have realized lately that since I have younger kids I really need to embrace everything that comes with that. So, I have discovered a couple of things that I don't want to give up since I am OLD! First of all I realized that I love to put together Lego's!! I know, weird! All of those little pieces fit together, that is how they are made and I just think that is amazing. The other night Paul and I went out and I told the boys if they were good I would buy them a Lego set. Well, the Lego's weren't really for them (shhhhh) they were for me! I didn't them that, but I spent most of the next day putting them together. I am so pleased with my quaint little villa! It is so cool, it has a sliding glass (in Lego world they are plastic) door and you can remove the roof and there are little stairs that lead to the up stairs so you can play with your little Lego people. I let my kids do that, I just like to build them.

The other thing I realized I enjoy it the Chipmunks. Carter got the Chipmunks movie for Christmas and we watched that I thought that it was cute. I know some people find their little voices annoying, but I think they are cute and they make me smile. We went and saw "Chipmunks- The Squeakquel" and I thought that it was cute also. I find myself tapping my foot and singing the words to the songs in my head.

One day Carter decided that he wanted to build a snow fort so he could have snowball fights. So, he got a 5 gallon bucket and filled it with snow and build the "Great wall of Carter" as I have named it. This picture was taken about 2 weeks after he build it so it was getting a little sluggish and falling down, it was a little taller in it's prime.
