out of hibernation...

so thursday, i couldn't stand it anymore.  i wanted to get out of the house, and i really wanted a dr. pepper!

daryl had gone to work, so i texted him and asked if he'd please come pick us up and we'd all go to lunch at la fiesta.  he agreed and we had a delicious not-cooked-by-me meal! (yay! tired of cooking, too)

after we got home from lunch the boys wanted to go play outside and work on their tunnel.  fine by me.

i got them bundled and out the door and then decided i wanted to go outside too.  plus smudge was whining and running around the house because the boys were outside.  i found his leash and bundle up and joined the boys outside.

and what did they do when they saw us outside?  did they yell, "yay!  mom's outside"? nope.  

colby launched a snowball at me!

and they threw snow at smudge who couldn't get away because i had him tied up!

 back end...

 front end...i just don't get why they like to put their faces in the snow.

 but smudge likes to do it too!

smudge got back at colby for throwing snow.  he wrapped himself around colby's legs and took him down!

 then smudge helped them dig another tunnel.  such a helpful little dog!

i just love my gloves, so i took a picture of them with snow on them!

then i left the boys digging and went for a walk down the street.  that's our house.

 and this is our street.

after my walk, i was done with being outside in the cold. so i went back inside and knitted this:

isn't it cute?

when the boys came back in, spencer wanted to play cards. smudge did, too!
