Crazy Fun Place!

 So I heard of this place right after we moved to Wyoming...A place where you take your kids to enjoy some outdoor winter fun, where you just show up, skates, music, lights, learning sleds, bathrooms, and a warming hut all provided...FOR FREE!

I know crazy, huh? Well we had to check it out. It is SO FUN! I have only been ice skating a couple of times, so I am terrible, but it was so fun. Mason loved to push around the sled things, MacKelle and Trace both got so much better after only an hour or so. By the end of the winter, we might even be kind of good. :) I am just so excited to find something to do to get the kids outside during the winter. I didn't get the best pictures, mostly because we were all concentrating on staying upright. But it was very fun, and will probably become a regular event for us!

Does this look like garbage?

My kids like projects, they are ALWAYS creating things...To be honest, I think I started it with Trace's Star Wars ship I made him for his birthday last year.  To cut down on the clutter, I told them that if it looks like garbage, or is left on the floor, it will get thrown away. Justin asked me to take pictures of these. He says that the kids make something and bring it up to him and ask,"Does this look like garbage?" He told MacKelle "Yes", the other day, and she said "oh, I need some wrapping paper". They are funny, and very creative. 

So the above picture is Trace's "Electric guitar"...which he said didn't sound anything like he hoped. :)

Totally random, but had to post this.  Mason REALLY likes his binkies...


 This is Trace's "ship" he made...


 MacKelle made this "car" for her Zhu-Zhu pet...


 MacKelle's "ship" she made...



 Another of Trace's "ships"...


 ANOTHER of Trace's "ships"...


 MacKelle made this "hamster cage" for her Zhu-Zhu pet...


This is Trace's collection of airplanes...some of which came all the way from Idaho. Their favorite game with these is to throw them at a ceiling fan and pretend the fan is an alien ship that they are attacking...:)

So the real question is, what to get the kids for Christmas, when they only like to play with the trash!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

This is the view we woke up to this morning. We didn't get any extra snow, but the trees all had beautiful white frost all over them. It was so pretty! It certainly helps to get us in the Christmas mood.
