Transformations, Icecream and more...

Transformations occur in different ways. Yesterday we had school cancelled due to a "white out" storm that I don't think the weather people even knew was coming. So by yesterday afternoon we were totally without snow and though the temps remained cool it wasn't uncomfortable and we even ate dinner with the door open. Sort of Al fresco....
Today as you can see by the pictures we have a white out occuring just up the road (See what appears to be a level of white clouds? Thats where Black Forest is supposed to be easily seen by us) and here I sit in the sun with the trees budding.

Here let me pull in the picture a bit so that the "white out" is easier to see. *remember you can click on a picture to enlarge it*

So for another transformation..... Well this is just Hunter showing off.

But! with my expertise in persuasion I was able to get promises from David to redo the boys bedroom. So we're changing both of their beds from one bunk into two bunks! They are going to be so excited and surprised. But with this change it also means having to re-look at the storage issue in that room. So I'm going to be making a bookcase, unless I can find one cheap. We'll see....its been a while since I made cases.

This is a great idea that the kids came up with to divide the drawers. (Always knew that one day the LEGO's would come in handy... in my own humble opinion!) We have two of these drawers that actually fit under the beds. Though now they are going to be out in the room for all to see once the transformation is complete. You'll see what I mean later....
"Ice cream, we're gonna get ice cream!" Do you remember the "Tonsils" story by Bill Cosby . Every time I think of it I smile. (Well anyway....No, no one else is having their tonsils removed. Though that particular episode was not fun for Kaitlyn, we sure did get a certain type of chuckle out of it.) No I finally found our ice cream maker. So this weekend we'll be making ice cream. The kids, and adults if the truth be known, are quite excited about home made ice cream. Nothing fancy, just plain 'ol vanilla. I can't wait to see the kids' faces while the maker does its thing.

check back soon for the finished ice cream and yum! pictures and new pictures of the boys grown up room.
