More fun at home...

Fun at home...

This time of year, there isn't much to look forward to...Christmas is over, spring is still months away, and school is starting to get boring. Here are just some random pictures of our daily life over the past week or so. The kids have been having fun at least...maybe it is just me who gets depressed!!

Skiing Pictures

Here are some Pictures!!
A few weeks ago we went skiing for the first time since we had kids. We rented a condo and really had a great time. The snow was beautiful and there was so much of it. It was so nice to just rent a condo and not have to drive home after a day of skiing and the kids really liked having a home base, instead of just the stinky ski lodge!
Joey was the only kid to ski...he took a two hour lesson the first day and decided that he wanted a full day lesson the next day. Well, when Paul went to pick him up afterwards, he had to carry Joey home because he was so tired he could hardly stand. He actually laid down on the couch at the condo and cried. Poor guy! He did have a great time though, and wants to do it again soon. Paul skied the whole first day, but the second day he let me use his boots and skis and I got to go for a few hours. It was wonderful to do it again. Hopefully, we will be able to take another few days to go skiing again before the winter is out.

For those of you who haven't heard...

Just to keep you all in the loop, Joey is going to be receiving his First Communion in April. We have been working a lot at home, and he also goes to CCD each Sunday morning at church. He just did his first confession a few months ago. We can't believe how quickly he is growing up moving into the age of reason. It really is amazing. Please keep him in your prayers.

This is so funny

The funniest thing about this is the newscasters reaction...

10 Great Movies of 2007

I have seen 4 of these...I am adding the other 6 to a list of movies I want to watch soon! This is an interesting blog that I have recently found. Enjoy!

The Water Horse

New Years Day we thought about taking the kids to a movie. We drove by and saw what was playing...of course, everyone wanted to see something different. Paulie and I both wanted to see The Water Horse, and since no one else could really make up their minds, Paul and I thought it might be neat if I took him myself, along with Sophia of course.
It was really nice to go out alone with Paulie...I am going to try to do it with Joey one of these days too. He sat there the whole time, mesmerized. It was a good movie too...nothing objectionable and full of things that little boys like.
Paulie...oops, PAULY is how he likes to spell his name now. Pauly seems to be getting so big, but in front of that big movie screen he looked so little. He is so different from Joey, who wears his feelings on his sleeve. There were a few sad parts in the movie, and afterwards I asked him how he liked it. "Good," he said. "Did you think it was sad?" I asked. "Yes," he said. "What parts?" "Not telling," was his answer. A boy of few words, but I could tell the whole movie was in his mind, waiting to be replayed as he was falling asleep that night.
