snow.

tomorrow is the first day of May. This afternoon as I was leaving work it was snowing. I am not even kidding. I really don't get the weather here in Colorado. 2 days ago it was almost 70 degrees, and today we had snow. this place is CRAZY!!
We had a pretty nice week, in spite of the weird weather. Cris took the girls to teh zoo for the day. Juneau has always amazed us with her perceptiveness. We haven't been to the zoo in ages, and yet as Cris was driving, and was still a good distance from the zoo, Juneau said "we're goin' to the zoo!" There were, of course, squeals of delight at that realization, and also at the appearance of the wagon.

You know Cris has truly "arrived" as a stay at home dad when he can totally do Nova's hair in double ponytails...and it looks really cute :) I was so impressed with Cris' little outing. He had the girls dressed all cute, their hair done, and had packed a delicious little picnic lunch! Does he rock or what?!

Our Little Monkeys

The Girls took turns pulling eachother in the wagon
yesterday a much anticipated package arrived in the mail...the huskies official sled dog harnesses. We were excited to finally hook them up and let them go to work. It is amazing how natural they took to pulling when Cris got them all hooked up to the stroller. Denali, still just a puppy, had a little bit of "trot.trot.trot.trot.BUTTERFLYBUTTERFLY.trot.trot.trot.trot.PILEOFPOOP.trot.trot.trot.trot.BIRDBIRDBIRD". But sherpa did well to keep him on the trail.
Overall we were very impressed with their first attempt at pulling a "sled", and the girls got a real kick out of it. They love to play "dogsled" in the livingroom. They will get blankets, and wrap themselves all up in them like we did when went on the actual dogsled adventure.

Finally, a cute little picture of our 2 year old techie. Juneau has become an expert traveler, as you can see in the picture of her on the airplane on our recent trip back from Ohio

cute JBug store: Cris has been recovering from a really bad ear infection. Somehow he actually perforated his eardrum, so i have been monitoring the healing with an otoscope. Oddly enough, Nova is OBSESSED with the otoscope. She loves to have me look in her ears, and every time i look in Cris' ear she wants me to do the same to her. Last night she asked me to look in her ear, and i didn't have the otoscope, so i just kind of pretended to look in it. Juneau piped up with "no, mommy, use the Doctor Phone to look in her ear". It cracked us up to think of the otosocope as a "doctor phone", but i guess it is a reasonable description :)

i am hoping the weather gets a little nicer tomorrow, because it is the Post-Wide Garage Sale, and you know i LOVE a good garage sale...not to mention 100 good garage sales all bunched up together. I can hear Cris sighing at the mere idea of a post-wide garage sale. He's a good sport though :)
