First Snow

Well it's here. Can you believe it? We couldn't. We woke up to the beautiful white stuff. It wasn't much, but the girls loved it. Atleast they said they did. They lasted about 5 minutes outside. Our cat Darla didn't know quite what to do with it. It was quite comical to watch her try to walk in it. It was like she was prancing around trying to not get her feet wet.

Anyway, we also got almost all our Christmas decorations up. The only thing we have left is our lights on the outside of our house. This is the first year we get to put them up and I am way excited about it (Sam isn't. I wonder why:) The kids can't wait for Santa to come and have been making great lists of all the things they want. Seth fills many papers up with his lists and then he writes while the girls tell him what they want. It is very cute to watch.

On a funny side note the other day. Sarah and Kathryn were sitting at the table coloring while I was doing dishes, not really paying attention to what they were saying. All of a sudden Sarah starts crying and saying that Kathryn called her stupid. Meanwhile Kathryn is very much denying that she said that, so I asked her what she did say. By the way, Kathryn is our very honest child and will tell you the truth even if it's bad for her. Anyway, this is what she said, "I not call Sarah stupid. I call her stinky. I smell her and she is so stinky." It was so hard not to laugh. And needless to say we still had a discussion of things that are not nice to say.
