We have watched Rudolph, Frosty, and many others. Adam, each time the Mean Snowman comes to the screen in Rudolph you put your hands over your eyes and say, "Scarey." You then spread your fingers and start to peak through again until you are convinced he isn't coming back anytime soon. We are running very low on movies right now so Nana sent us a few in the mail. JD, one of these movies was about a snowman and there were no words, just music in the background. I think this may have been you favorite movie so far.
Over the weekend we enjoyed the first snowfall of the season. Adam, you do not like getting put into your snow suit, there is no way around it, you just don't like it. But I zipped you up and out we went. Mom had spent the prior night in Mass at Brooke's so it was just the three of us on this day.
We went outside in the morning on Saturday. Our big sled from last year popped and we got rid of all of the others as they had defects so we are left with just Adam's pull sled. I pulled you both around the
yard for quite a while. We started out back and then went around to the small hill on the side. I think you both like snowball throwing more than anything else, though. Adam is learning that you actually have to pat down the snow into a ball shape before you throw it. He had many unsuccessful throws prior to learning this. JD enjoys throwing snowballs at his brother and I. And I have to say, I do like throwing them back!We have gone outside during the nights a few times too. Asbury loves to play in the snow, he has since he was a puppy. When mom and I brought him home in January of 1999 there was snow on the ground and it seemed to stay for months. He loves to chase snowballs even though they are virtually impossible to find.
On Sunday night we all helped mom bake some cookies. We had one of those jar things with all of the ingredients inside and mom and I had a major sugar craving. JD, you bake with Grandie all the time so you cracked the eggs and helped to add in the ingredients. Adam, you did a great job of interrupting the process by sticking your hand in the mix and licking your fingers!
We rounded up Sunday night watching the Pat's beat the Steelers. Its been a pretty interesting year of football for the Patriots. They are one of the best teams ever and have a very good shot at going undefeated for the whole season. If they do they will be only the second team ever
to do so. Adam, when football comes on the TV, even just the highlights, you come to find me wherever I am in the house. You say, "Daddy, Daddy, F'Ball!" And then you motion for me to come with you. When we arrive you say, "Look" and point to the TV. You are so excited to show me, its like every time is the first!
The Celtics are off to a good start too. They are 12-0 at home this year and so exciting to watch. Its weird having basketball be relevant in Boston again. I'm enjoying it just as much as I had hoped I would.
We are supposed to get a Nor'easter this weekend, maybe a foot of snow. I really need to pick up some sleds somewhere. I wonder which one of you guys I'll get to shovel?
