Nuggets of Cute

Today, I am grateful for all of those moments that remind me why I love being a mom. Tonight, after dinner, the kids arranged all of the dining chairs into a square and told me they were flying to Disneyland. I grabbed the camera:


I finally found my camera cord, so prepare yourself for the ensuing avalanche of photos and videos. 

We also resumed our date night babysitting swap... at least once a month, we get a date, then we also get the chance to have all of the kids' friends over while their parents go on dates. It's fun. Here we are kid spinning... it's like B-boying, only more nauseating. Madeline gets the award for fastest spinner. 


It was snowmageddon in the Seattle area last week. We were snowed in for a few days and Cameron worked from home. It was fun at first, but I got cabin fever towards the end. But it was nice to finally get some snow. I got my fill and now it's gone. 

The kids made a snow fireman. Oh the irony :)



We went sledding (we went down some big hills nearby, but I only filmed the driveway sledding. Sledding confirmed that Sunshine is fearless and it scares me):

Cutest two-headed monster I've ever encountered. 


And, of course, we ended the sledding with hot chocolate and marshmallows (while I drank super boring herbal tea... food allergies suck)

 Apollo was on a sugar/snow high.


It sure made my yard look pretty :)


What's you favorite snow day tradition? 

Oh, and by the way... my facebook/blogging fast lasted about a day. I like it too much.... still striving for balance, though.

We have good times at the Graves Household. We should set up some bleachers so people can come and pay to watch us do our thing.

I'm sure people would love hearing me yell 90% of the time. And watching the kids eat their boogers Life is prettier when it's edited.

Autocorrect turned "boogers " into hooters. I'm LOL-ing.
