Day14 (2 weeks in)

Eric was emptying the grocery bags and sorting out what was in them. I was putting the fridge things in the fridge (go figure!!! ) I turned around to see this food tower in the middle of my kitchen floor. I had to take a picture of Eric's little building spree! Talented isn't he ???? LOL After some lots of whinning, the adults decided to take the kids skating at the local man made rink a block from home. Shannon and Emma came for a visit with skates in hand. Sue, Wyatt, Angus, Eric, Myself, Shannon, Alexander, Madison, Quinlan, Emma and Bekah all walked up the street to the rink! It was so COLD but the kids were determined to skate!

This shot is very blurry as there was much action going on in it, but I had to post it!!! Quinn was starting to fall (see his leg in the air?) as Wyatt came zooming across the rink and crashed into the side board. I thought it was a great action shot of the two of them!!!


This is Wyatt going over the boards (a different time then the picture posted above)

Quinn deciding he's had enough of skating and would rather roll around in the snow while wearing his skates! Crazy child of mine
While it took Emma a bit to warm up to the idea, she eventually got into the whole skating thing and was off on her own. This picture is her listening to Shannon.

Bekah was a crazy ice skating monster! This child has no fear. I placed her on the ice and off she went! She was amazing! Shannon has more pictures of her as my camera was in my bag for a while, as I helped get Emma going on the ice for Shannon. I will post more of Bekah on her own.

This shot is of my girls skating hand in hand ( a rare occurance!) with their matching coats. Aren't they Cute?!?!?!?

After our afternoon skating adventure we took the kids to the mall, grabbed some dinner and went to the movie Marley and Me. I have to say that movie gets so many emotions going it isn't funny. I laughed (lots) and cried (even more)

It was an excellent day filled with family and friends. I can't wait to have more!
