Snow, Friends, Hair and Muscles

It has been a busy several days in our household. This past weekend was quite exciting with the SNOW DAY!!! We woke to an amazing blanket of white powdery snow EVERYWHERE, I should have known that we would be getting it because Edwin was tracking it like a hound dog.. He was watching every twist the front was making until the time we went to bed and he was READY! We had a big breakfast (fueled up with bacon and pancakes) and then hit the hills. We busted out the super duper fantastic sled that we all stare at in our garage like an alien in a foreign land. It is one of those things that you really hate having because it tends to take up space but when needed, it sure is fun! I have to say we were the best outfitted family on the hills Sunday, we had super speed with our Super Rubbermaid Green and Purple Sled. The kids had a fantastic time and quite honestly, so did Edwin and myself. WE were all somewhat fighting for the next ride. Everyone was all smiles until the cold started to set in and we all had to go in for hot chocolate and fireside rest ~ can we say PERFECT day!:)

William had a wonderful surprise, LIV got to come over and play while her mom did my hair:) It is always nice to have super friends that don't mind dealing with your stubborn hair and tends to enjoy doing so:) The kids had a blast and I have to say I did too getting a new color ~ what a new hair style or color will do for a person is just amazing... I feel like a new person. Liv, while playing with Grace and William declared her love for William as did he for her and said that she wanted to move in. We had to explain that it is a bit early in their relationship for marriage and cohabitation so that has been put on hold but many more play dates are to come;)

So, the Trussville Fire Department visited Paine Primary School today and William's class was able to explore the fire engine!! They learned all about fire safety and what firemen do. All the kids had a turn to ask questions of the firemen about their jobs and the truck. When it came to William's turn his teacher asked William if he would like to ask them anything and he said, "yes, I would like to ask the firemen a question" Long Pause..... "I would like to know, would you like to see my muscles?"... This is a direct quote according to his teacher. As she tells the story the firemen all laughed, one almost started crying because he was laughing so hard and a parent said that she almost wet herself laughing so hard. It was complete silence and he was completely serious about showing off his muscles.... Guess he thought that was pertinent to the conversations??? The thoughts of a four year old, I am just thankful it wasn't worse than that.... So, until next time ~ enjoy the weather be it sunny snowy or somewhere in between and remember to flex your muscles whenever the chance arises:) Family hugs to you and yours!

too many things to comment on here..... first of all - y'all have a freakin sled???? i'm insanely jealous. joe attempted to make a sled out of a laundry basket, and jacks just kept falling out. we have the best hill ever for sledding, but we were ill equipped.
william is awesome. i can't believe he already has a girl ready to commit plus he's sporting the giant muscles. it's possible that the firemen threatened his manhood - especially in front of his lady friend - and he felt compelled to prove himself. that kid ROCKS!!!
