Its hard for me to believe that its the 100th day of school already....Finley is already more than half way through her kindergarten year....SLOW DOWN!!

The kids were to bring 100 items to school.....and they would re count them with their older buddies.

she chose gummy worms.....sour ones.....(yuck!)....this is what 100 gummy worms looks like....not much huh??

I asked her what else people brought...there were legos, pennies, beads, paper clips, kisses, dog food (yes dog food), m and ms and skittles....

First (and only??) snow

Last week we had our first snow fall...maybe 4 inches. The day before it was 55...yes 55...degrees. Birds were chirping!! Galesburg hadn't had ANY measurable snow yet this year, the kids were so excited!! They were desperately trying sled.....

Jack just DIGS the snow....he eats it and runs in it and rolls in it....

He is also a mitten stealer and boot nibbler...making for playing in the snow extra hard. He spent most the afternoon inside....whiiining

were still here

HOLY COW have i been avoiding uploading pictures....wow!! Lots has happened...weddings, 90th birthdays, school starting, halloween, thanksgiving, christmas, new years.....yeow!!

Here are 4...yes 4 from the holidays
