Winter weekend fun

Winter months are tough. The kids have cabin fever, as do I. Sam and I really cram lots of activities into the weekend since he works inhumane hours during the week. I don't have any energy at the end of the day to be too creative and tackle new activities with the boys. Lately we have had lots of "movie nights" which include early bath, dinner and popcorn. Chili is a parent favorite. Homemade pizza's and smores top the list (although Jack doesn't like marshmellows). Whose kid is this?


Jack and I roasting our marshmellows - that he ended up not liking. I ate his.

Ben decided he needed to be alone to enjoy his smore. He went to his chair to eat.

My chili. I still love experimenting with my camera.

Jack looking quite handsome.

He's so dag-on grown up.

Ben is Mr. Independent. If you do something to "help" him out, he'll undo it and do it again himself. All I need to do in that scenario is to add about 20 minutes to anything I have planned. It's fun.
