I love S’mores but there’s nothing more disappointing then getting your graham cracker and chocolate all ready only to find your marshmallow has burst into flames and turned charcoal black.

Jack’s First Snow
Bundled up and ready to see what the fuss is all about! I think he likes it! And because I know my mom will say something, he was only outside for like 2 minutes. And we can’t forget big brother. Looks like Ben likes the snow a lot more now than he did during his first snow.

If you couldn’t guess from the name, I’ll be jumping in a frozen lake (and going all the way under) with several of my co-workers and hundreds of other people who are risking frostbite in order to raise money for Special Olympic athletes. I can only hope to be this happy on the frozen lake. via Two. I got this adorable sweater for Christmas from my sister after she read about how much I wanted one on the blog. Of course J hates it but not just this particular sweater. He hates any outfit that…
