sledding, day 1

my friend, kashia, asked thursday night if my boys wanted to go sledding on friday.  i didn't even have to ask the varmints!  i knew the answer to that question!

so yesterday morning we got all bundled up and drove around bartlesville looking for a fun and safe place to sled with 6 children.  you can tell by the looks on spencer's and rylie's faces that we spent way too much time driving....

after a long search we finally found a hill at the wesleyan church.  spencer wasted no time getting up that hill!

this is kashia's nephew, josh, wiping out!

it was quite a trek up that hill.  every once in a while i'd look up there and see everyone taking a break!

kashia and spencer....the dare devils!

 i think that's spencer ducking behind josh!

i got distracted from the sledding by geese passing by. i LOVE the sound they make!

 that's spencer with his hands folded, laying down and sledding!

not long after we got home from sledding, it started snowing again!  sheesh!  we only had a 30% chance, and it snowed for a couple of hours!

our local weatherman has been encouraging everyone to take care of the birds during this round of winter weather.  i finally felt bad for my feathered friends and threw some bread chunks out to them. however, smudge went out there and ate all of their bread!!!

ugh....varmint!


so i stopped throwing bread outside because it was pointless.  i laid the other pieces of bread down on daryl's desk so i could dry smudge off after rooting around in the snow.

i was on the phone with my parents when i saw a furry blur go by with a WHOLE piece of bread hanging out of his mouth!  i don't know how he got it!  there is no way he is tall enough to jump up on that desk!

the chase was on, only this time i had help.  spencer and colby joined the attack while i stayed on the phone with mom and dad.  they were laughing at the whole scene that was being described to them on the phone!


did you notice where he hid with the bread?  behind the recliner....the same place he went with my bag of cotton pads last time!  if he wasn't so stinkin' cute and funny, i'd really be mad at him!
