Last weekend our new flooring had arrived so it was time to get busy installing it. We put down about 400 square feet in the living room and hallway, and have about 200 square feet to go since we decided we will do the master bedroom as well. Just for fun I set a camera up on the wall to snap a picture every minute to make this time lapse video. We’ll be glad when we’re done!
We got our first dusting of snow around new years and decided to take the girls sledding on new years day. the new park near our house has the biggest hill around so we gave it a wurl.
as you can see, there is not a whole lot of snow! lucky for us, our sled is super awesome. it didn’t care about the amount of snow.. it cruised down the hill like the champ that it was!
we finished sledding and walked over to the play area. annalise can never pass up an opportunity to swing!
she’s pretending to be asleep (and turning blue!)
when nighttime came, scott lit two floating lanterns.
the lanters come from china. the translated directions say to “release the lantern and wish oh”. gotta follow those directions so that’s just what we did!
happy 2013!
