Trains!

Have you heard of the TV station RFD TV? I hadn't until early January when we happened to stumble across a train documentary that intrigued Vince. I quickly made a DVR file to record all shows of that series to have on hand for my choo-choo loving boy.  Since then I have learned this is a weekly program. Straight up train documentaries of steamies and diesels at work and the track lines.  For the full hour Vince is glued to the TV.

Our "Snow" Day

This is the most snow we have seen this so called winter :( We had to make do... It was falling at a nice clip, so let's go catch them in our mouths... we get outside and it slowed down. That did not deter Sebastian...

 He caught one in his eye.

He then "caught" one in his fingers

Then the paced picked up again. I LOVE his expression. You maybe asking at this point, where is Vince? He was napping.

funny daddy....

Sebastian get's into the fight 

Napoleon enjoys eating this delicacy 

Vince wakes up and joins in the fun!!!!!

Carm-Cam action

The next morning we skipped breakfast and headed straight out cause temps were going to climb up to 50's and we had to play before it melted away!

Vince had to show Sebastian how to sled

He then got in the action

Then Daddy

We hope to see more/better snow before winter says goodbye, but we are not holding our breaths.

Vinegar and baking soda explosions with a touch of color for some pizzazz.

We all arrived on Friday night to surprise my dad for the weekend. The next day we had the task of getting him out of the house so that Mariyink could set up for the surprise party.  So we packed the kids and headed the kids museum of Winston-Salem.
