So one of the best parts about being home all the time is seeing my kids grow up some of the not so fun ones are when they have learned how to torture each other. Emily recently has decided to torture her younger siblings in different ways moving away from Max whenever he is close, stating she knew that before him, or just not talking to him, it does bring lots of memories for me, but here are two more recent moments of sibling torture.

Emily got a fairy outfit from a birthday...look who she dressed as a fairy

Emily beat him to the bathroom so she got to get the toothpaste first (this is a  daily fight)

Overall my kids are awesome and fun, but I think it is important we remember the ridiculousness of something like fighting over toothpaste, or who pick out the forks. Another thing my two older ones fight about is Max hates being alone so Emily hurries through her breakfast some mornings and I can hear max screaming from my room. I  DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE!!!

Snow

So a few weeks ago, we had our first snow. The crazy part and disappointing to Jason was that it was on a Saturday. Max, Emily and I ran outside and played in the snow that morning before Jason headed of to work. It was a lot of fun. Then later after Calvin's morning nap we went sledding down one of our roads. It was a lot of fun. One of our neighbors even joined us. Then we headed home and ate lunch. Later Jason took the older two outside to play, it was too cold for Calvin to go back out. He was good the first time until he decided he didn't want to wear gloves so lets just say his hands got a little cold. Then it took forever once we got home to calm him down. He is one crazy boy. After that we spent time together as family hanging out, church was cancelled that Sunday as well as school that Monday and Tuesday. It was nice to have Emily home so Max could have a playmate he really does miss his sister. Calvin like usual was terror and has taken to moving furniture around the house so he can get where he wants.
