Garfield movie

We watched the Garfield movie tonight. It produced many laughs from everyone.

The queen is the most powerful

The boys are learning to play chess. Joshua has been asking me for tips on how to play so that he can have good "strategies". I heard him say this morning to Jed that he has some secret strategies. Jed tried to get those strategies from him, but he just said; "The queen is the most powerful!"

Rescue wolfie

We went sliding down the hill at the duck pond today. It was beautiful weather and the snow was fast. The boys decided that they would practice their luge and bob-sleigh skills. They had some amazing rides and it seems that they are quite fearless.

Both Hootie and Wolfie came with us and they were treated to some rides too.

Are you ready for your ride ?

The sledding soon turned into a rescue mission. Josh would slide down the hill and would release Wolfie. After that Jed was on a rescue mission to pick him up while he slid down the hill. It was a lot of fun.

That evening we had Awanas. The kids always love to play with the parachute.

Totally worth it

Jed was talking in his sleep this morning. He said: "That was so totally worth reading". He always loves to read and so this is quite typical from him.

Skiing

We went skiing today. Joshua was watching his 2 friends learning to ski and he said; "You know that my friend, is really an excellent skier, even though he falls a lot". I think that Joshua always sees the positive in people !!

Barefeet

It was a lot warmed today - about 0C. So the boys went outside and said that it felt like summer. They proved it by walking barefoot on the snow.

Morning routine

It seems that the boys have got into a morning routine of reading some Garfield books before they start the day.
