You know you live in Albuquerque...

when your husband is a little bit excited to shovel the snow when he gets home.

We had our first real snowfall of the year today.  It's actually snowed quite a few times this winter, but never stuck.  I think we got around 3 inches and it is still here!  The boys stayed outside for over an hour before I finally called them back in.  We love snow!

just life

Not too much going on around here.  Just trying to stay busy indoors while it's still cold outside.  Here's hoping for an early spring!!

Mabel is quite the little climber.  She climbs up to sit on these chairs...but can't get down.  I've caught her on top of a step stool, the bed (using a chair to get up there), and the dishwasher.  
She loves to pretend she is on the phone.  She'll use anything for her pretend phone, mostly her hand.
A couple months ago we moved the boys together into one room and made this room a playroom.  It has worked out great and the kids will actually play in there!  mabel loves to hang out with her brothers.  Here she is in action climbing up a chair.
We do try to get out whenever possible.  Mabel is pretty happy just watching the boys from the window.
And for those of you keeping track of our dirt pile, notice that it is all gone!  Hurray!
