Projects

We have been doing many different projects this month, trying to keep ourselves busy and not go crazy with cabin fever.

We had a primary activity day and I had to come up with a game, or story from the Old Testament so I chose David and Goliath. We made a Goliath to size (he was 9 feet 9 inches tall) then we made some slings (or I should say Dennie made them) and some beanbag rocks so the kids to sling rocks at him, after I told the story.

Jared wanted to make a rocket launcher so we found what he needed got the stuff together and Dennie helped him put it together, then I helped him with the rockets. This is quite the launcher. He has launched this in the house (thank goodness the rocket is paper) but it is much better outside, he can't wait until the snow is gone so he can use it outside more. He has launched it outside several times, but he has to wade through the snow to get his rocket and without boots and snow pants on you get wet and cold.

Sara wanted a ladybug skirt when she saw this fabric so this is what I came up with. It was a fun super easy skirt and its super cute on. The picture doesn't do it justice, its really cute. Can't wait to make some more.

If we can't have SPRING outside we are going to have it inside, the kids and I made these flowers out of coffee filters. Fun stuff, now to get projects ready for next week when its spring break. Any ideas?????

Snow from this year and last

This picture was taken last year on March 20

This picture was this year March 21!

Will the snow never end? UGH!!!

March

Well its March and the calendar says its almost SPRING. . . . . but we still have SNOW everywhere except the roads (thank goodness) It is melting s l o w l y, the driveway is now rutted and muddy instead of snow covered, the road to the middle school it nothing but mud holes and some will sink you to China if you are not careful besides the shaking and bouncing all along the way. Oh the joys of springtime in the mountains. Hopefully the snow will be gone by Easter.

These are for you Mom

Here are the pictures of our yard and home in the snow YES we still have a TON of snow!!! Hope its melted by May.

This is the backyard

Just a little update on the moose that has been hanging around, last weekend the fish and game chased it all around our neighborhood trying I guess to catch it by hand, it has a broken leg and the neighbor said that when he talked to the fish and game officer he/she (Not sure which one he talked to) said that they had to put it down. We were all sad about that, however we hope the moose got away cause all they were doing was chasing it around, they had no weapons that we could see and they couldn't have shot it cause it was in a residential area maybe they were going to chase it out of town who knows. We never heard what became of the moose.
