Snowball Fight

Last week we had a few snow storms that required some shoveling.  Jonah always loves to help Keith shovel and Wyatt always wants to be outside. 

Wyatt had to stop and look at the airplanes as they flew by.  He says, "da" (in a long drawn out way) for every thing.  He is saying a lot more words, but he usually uses "da" for most things.  He has also started tapping people to get their attention.  I think it is so cute that I will ignore him sometimes just so he will tap me. 

After we got the work out of the way Jonah and Keith were ready for a snowball fight.     

Wyatt wanted us to make him snowballs.  He is obsessed with balls right now and that is one of the words that he will say.

Keith was hitting Jonah over and over with snowballs and then he got a little shock when Jonah hit him with one right in the eye.  I'm glad Jonah has a fun Dad to play rough with because it makes me nervous!

Caitlyn was excited to get out and play in the snow when she came home from school.  I have been feeling so overwhelmed with her homework.  I love her teacher because she really pushes Caitlyn and she is great at working with every one's different levels.  Caitlyn is very advanced in reading, but math doesn't come easy for her.  Her teacher sends home very challenging reading homework to challenge her, but I can't find time to help her with math by the time we finish all of her homework.  I finally talked to her teacher and found out that Caitlyn is the one who is pushing the reading homework because she wants to beat all of the other kids.  Stinker!  Apparently she is the only one finishing these reading packets in one night.  All the while telling me it is against the law not to finish her homework.  Her teacher told me that is fine to slow down and focus more on math.  Our afternoons have been so much better!

I had to put this cute picture of Wyatt and his cousin.  Wyatt is really into hugging right now.  Every night he goes back and forth and gives everyone about five hugs.  The other day Rockwell and Wyatt hugged each other and it was so sweet.  I was able to get them to do it again the next day.  They are so cute.  It is fun to see them start to interact more with each other. I love how their arms are wrapped around each other.
