Winter is Here

The snow is here! B loves playing in it for a little while. She doesn't have a snow suit yet, so she gets cold rather quickly.

I even had to make a few snowballs.

B found one of D's hats and had to try it on. She really likes John Deere; she can point it out on almost anything.

Like Thomas the Train B loves to be "Really Useful" and had to help Daddy while he was scooping some of the snow. D hadn't gotten the snow blower out yet. It is out and ready to go now. That probably means we won't get anymore snow! Yeah, right.

Warm Day

So, these pictures are from a week ago. (I know, I am not very good at updating the blog.) Last Sunday happened to be very warm, about 70 degrees. We knew that if we didn't get out and enjoy the day we would regret it since there was snow in the forecast for later in the week. It went from "summer" to winter very quickly.

We spent some time at the park. In the swings of course, as that is B's favorite.

We played in the yard, even though the grass was a little damp.

And, D washed the vehicles. B did what she could to help. Giving Daddy a hug is always helpful!

Apples, Apples, and More...Apples

We had some really bad wind a few days ago and our neighbors apple tree lost all of its apples. D and B helped them pick all of the apples up. After I took these pictures (from inside) I went out and helped to.

It was still very windy while we were out there, which made it really cold since the temperature was only about forty.
