Snow Angel

It snowed last night and we played in it this morning. The simple joy of making a snow angel...



...and getting pulled in a sled....

Tuesday Dinner



Sammy enjoys helping with meal preparation. Tonight she helped make meatballs, cut the bread and seasoned it with garlic butter.

If only we could get her to do this independently!

Our Little Chefs de Cuisine

Our friend Libby came over last night with all the fixin's needed to make nachos. The kids, of course, wanted to help.

Rampart, This is Squad 51

The kids watch old episodes of Emergency! before going to bed each night. Robert enjoys the firefighting scenes a little more than the medical ones, but something tells us  both of them have been paying close attention to the show.

This morning Robert established an aid station in the living room because Skelly wasn't feeling well.


Physical examination began with listening to the heart.



Then a look in the ears



Bedside consultation



A hypodermic injection is administered



Only prayer can save the patient!

We wish we could say we staged this for the camera, but we didn't. This is our kids role playing what they saw on television. Which, of course, reinforces the importance of paying attention to what your kids watch on t.v.

The patient survived and is hanging back in Robert's room.

Merry Christmas Eve
