Umple Ed's birthday and Snow Angels...finally




If you look closely you can see her hat on her back.



He has no fear at all



On Saturday our kids and the cousins went to the tubing hill to celebrate Ump's birthday. After the tubing park we all went over to kara's house for some good ole eating.
We have to accept the fact that if we are going to live in the Northeast section of the country, we have to embrace the snow and cold weather. Especially when there are kids involved. This week we have gone tubing, skiing(I watched) and today with a storm we made some snow angels and an ugly snowman.
It was Catherine's year to name the snowman and this year's snowman is officially named "Umple Eddie the snowman". When we started making the snowman the snow was really nice, a really good packing. We got called in to have some chicken pie and by the time we came back it seemed like the white stuff had dried out leaving it so much tougher to stick. We survived anyway by taking the snow off of our cars that had been running earlier. The snowman still ended up looking like a descendant of past snowmen. That is certainly no compliment.
After the snowman all five of us ended up having a snowball fight. Jack was so cute running around hitting the others with snowballs. He kept on flipping out when his nose was running but he got right back into it when we had some tissue intervention.
As we were getting ready to go back inside after over 2 1/2 hours outside, Catherine was very upset because she couldnt find her hat anywhere. I helped her look too, she got very upset. The two of us together must have looked quite foolish when Laura pointed out that her hat was on her head. Catherine was a little embarassed...what is my excuse. I started calling her Franny...
