Since Billy and Bobby have arrived, they have made themselves quite comfortable. Shortly after they arrived, they were hanging out on our clock.

But that didn’t last long because during naptime, they decided to play Wii.

Yesterday, we woke up to find they had been reading books all night and left a mess.

They seemed to enjoy them.

Again, during naptime, they hid in our closet until it was time to get ready for bed and change diapers. I think they were trying to be helpful.

This morning, they already started in on breakfast before everyone was up.

Ranen was happy to see he only has 8 days left until his birthday.

Billy and Bobby decided to stay around for breakfast.

I wonder where they will turn up next!

Ranen received a note a few days ago saying that we would be having some guests arrive at our house soon. Their names are Billy and Bobby and they are twins. They are coming to help Ranen celebrate his birthday. Ranen was very excited for their arrival.

Billy and Bobby arrived shortly after the boys went to sleep last night. I told them to make themselves comfortable and that the boys would be up in the morning to welcome them. They took me up on my offer and left another note for Ranen.

We are very excited they have come to help celebrate Ranen’s birthday.

We got some snow yesterday. We never know what to expect here when snow is expected because our weather forecasters don’t have a ton of practice. There have been times when we think we are in the clear and we get dumped on and visa versa.
But we did indeed get snow. It started to fall just as the boys were going to bed Friday night and when they got up in the morning, this is what they saw.
Jason was at work and he told me to set a bowl out to catch some snow. So I put a big metal bowl on top of the bushes.
The boys went outside and lots of snow was thrown.
Ranen making a snow angel. Micah didn’t want to partake in this activity.
And this is what Jason made with the snow we caught. Snow Cream!
A guy at work told him about it and Jason looked up how to make it. Kinda funny how both of us come from states with lots of snow and have never heard of snow cream.
It was delicious.
Thank you Daddy for the awesome experience of Snow Cream. You’re the best Daddy ever.

He is my adorable goofball, even when sleeping.

Maybe I should say “Goofball(s)”.
