SNOW!

The hobbits of Michael Delving set their alarms and got up at 1AM this morning to go play in the snow. When snow comes as infrequently as it does around here, you gotta get your playing in when the playing is good!

The Mayor pulled Eejee and Seimi on the sled and by the time we had gone two blocks, Eejee was already freezing and ready to go home.

First trip back home to drop off layers of clothing.

The Mayor post-snowball pelting

The instigator of said pelting

Our tradition is to load up the sled with snow from the neighboring church and bring it home to our yard.

The aftermath

Eejee aftermath - he sat so still on the sled that snow built up on his face

Cold but undaunted!

The scene in the entryway at 2:30AM today. Our apologies to neighbors who may have been sleeping.

Eejee enjoying the WOORM this morning.

Still snow left this morning!

Our hummingbird, "Jimmy" enjoying some winter treats

Hobbitlings slept, snow clothes dried, and they were back at snow play with daylight

Just Like New!

Our iPad looks the same as it always has but is brand new once you log in. Mr. Eejee managed to change the language to Chinese and then successfully wiped the iPad.
::sigh::
(Eejee is currently running around the house telling everyone in a loud stage whisper, "Eejee got out of the bed!")

Tree Decorating Party

SNOW, Snow, snow?

After church yesterday we got our Christmas tree, did decorating, and then watched "White Christmas."

A never-before-needed feature - a screw into a ceiling joist with wire to keep the tree from falling over in the very-likely event that Eejee disobeys and touches the Kimah-Kree.

While the parents were busy upstairs, Boookie, Ela and Seimi were busy decorating the Bunker and they did an amazing job (zero help on any of this!)

Advent of Brofkist

See?! See?!
They holding blankets!
And, and, they pray OATMEAL for brofkist!!!

Pastimes

The Mayor and the Hobbit Wife have both been getting warnings that our phone storage is full. Take a look at the picture below and guess who is to blame for this.

Thanksgiving Catch-Up

Ela's late harvest of wildflower seeds with her creative touch applied to the seed bags made of leaves. 

Boookie showing off his huge bow in the woods at Wilcox Park.

Ela "temporarily" moving into the Bunker, including decorations.

On Monday, chainsaw guys came and took out a bunch of trees.

Eejee was obsessed with this bottle of "chainsaw monk" that he saw the chainsaw guys drinking.
