when we wake up from our snooze, mommy has snacks all at hand.
and sometimes, we get grapes.
and sometimes those grapes go all into our mouths at once.

and sometimes we eat regular things like muffins
like cookies
like granola bars
like pears or bananas or apples or raisins.
Sometimes we eat cheese strings...
Sometimes we eat snow.
Toques optional.
Candy found under the couch optional too, but stuff them in your mouth before mommy sees them.
Sometimes the weather isn't -40
and we play outside
this happens after about 1/2 an hour of mommy dressing us, and about 15 minutes in asks herself if it's really worth it....
and Benjabin moves snow with his dump truck and digger
and AnderZander uses his shovel to move it all back...much to Benjabin's dismay.
Sometimes we go out and watch daddy snowmobile on Chris-stuck-hill
Sometimes daddy even gets stuck to make Uncle Chris feel better.
Sometimes daddy doesn't touch the hill but fly's right over it.
We cheer him on...
as much as we can see, anyway.
Sometimes,
daddy gets an afternoon and takes us all swimming.
We change, we shower
we suit up
we wait for mommy to go pee
we watch the swimming lessons
we make puddles of our own
we shower again
and we SWIM!
Sometimes we jump in,
sometimes we blow bubbles,
sometimes we forget to breath out,
sometimes we lick the bars,
sometimes we play in the whirl pool,
sometimes we go down the slide
sometimes we play with the bubbles in the hot tub
and sometimes we put our noses in the water and blow bubbles for the fish....that don't exist in the pool.
all in all, we have a rather good time when we wake up from our snooze.
and sometimes that good time
involves hot chocolate at the end of it.
