Unpredictable Weather

I woke up this morning and came downstairs and you will never guess what I saw out my window. You guessed wrong. Not rain, but SNOW. I think the kids were more excited than me for sure. They are already out playing in the snow with the neighbors this morning and it isn't even 10 a.m. Paige is out of school all week for spud harvest, so that gives them something fun to do. I am hoping the snow doesn't stay and it will melt soon.

The last couple of weeks have been a little crazy. All three boys were sick a week and a half ago with awful coughs and runny noses. Of course one got it first and then the other two followed. My favorite part about the whole thing was that Matt was out of town. I don't know how he always manages to be out of town when they get sick. Thanks to my mom's help, I survived.

Kayla is keeping busy while Paige is at school. She always wants to play games and watch t.v. I am fine with games, but not the t.v., so I am trying to find other things for her to do. Last week she played a little dress up and I had to capture this priceless moment.

Paige is liking school. She is not the best at reading and it is sometimes a battle to get her to read, but we are working on it. I wish she would realize that if she would read a little more she would be a better reader. We'll get there. She is really glad for the harvest vacation. I just hope we don't struggle when it is time to go back to school.

The boys are so mobile that it is crazy around here. They all three constantly want to go up and down the stairs so I leave gates everywhere and this drives them crazy. The other day I went upstairs and a second later I could hear them at the gate. They all three crawled over and stood up at the gate and were shaking it trying to get it down. They are super busy but they sure are cute.
