crash

I was cleaning up a spot on my carpet this morning and I hear a crash and a mad squeal.  I look up to see Tracen and Lincoln on two different ride-able cars in a head on collision.  Lincoln is the screamer. 

I say to Tracen “what’s wrong with him?”

Tracen says “Someone crashed into him…”

I say “someone crashed into him huh?  Who do you think that could have been.”

Tracen (like he’s really thinking and trying to figure it out)  “uhhhhh….”

Ty's recital video

Tyler’s Recital

Tyler participated in his first String Festival.  It’s an event where he’s judged on how well he plays.  He’s only been playing cello about 4 months so I was really proud of him for participating.  He did really well.  The cello we bought him had been dropped and the neck broken before we bought it.  About 2 weeks before the recital we noticed the crack had opened back up.  $150 later and 2 days before the recital he got it back.  He was glad to be playing his own cello and not the loaner :)  I’ll try to post a video as well!DSC_0027 DSC_0031

A few random pictures

The other night the boys decided Link should sleep in their room.  Before it was all over he was screaming and had fallen somewhere and ended up hitting his lip.

For some reason I decided it would be a good idea to let 5 3 year olds finger paint while doing preschool at my house the other day.  My sanity is in question.  I even made homemade finger paintsDSC_0025

Jesse thought it was pretty funny that I was bbq-ing in the snow the other day.  Our back porch faces north and the snow falls off my metal roof onto the back porch and stays there…until like April or so.  It’s really annoying.  I thought maybe I was lazy the first year being pregnant with Lincoln and just hadn’t had the energy to shovel it off, but I’ve since learned that it’s pretty much just an impossible task.  It falls off the roof and freezes or is already half frozen when it falls.  So we end up with a  huge pile….like knee high that thaws in the spring.  You can’t really see it very well, but I’m standing basically in a hole we do have to shovel for our furnace vent.
