When it is cold outside....

we play games.

Kenneth has been playing chess with Morgan for a few

years now, but this is Bailey's first winter of chess.

Kenneth has to oversee the game to make sure it stays

fair for both boys.

Bailey loves when he beats his big brother!

Playing twister with Austen is completely unfair.

For one thing she is made of rubber and for another

she practices when we aren't watching.

Emory is stealing candy.

Bailey's new favorite chore is to vacuum!

He is getting pretty good at it, too.

You know it's cold outside when you have to wear your winter coat

and cover up with a blanket just to watch cartoons and work

a few dot-to-dots!
