caught!

Kael is not too sure its dead yet...

This little fox had the misfortune of getting caught in one of my father-in- laws traps out behind our house.  Don't worry it didn't go to waste it was skinned and sent to auction.

enjoy the Sweetness...

For Christmas Kaelen got me a Kindle e-reader and I love it.
So I would like to recommend a book and ask for any good suggestions.

 The Sweetness at the bottom of the Pie is my recommendation. It is a good clean murder mystery set in the 1950's England about philately and chemistry, two things I never thought I'd enjoy reading about but I did. I won't tell you too much about because I'll end up giving it all away. Some my find it simple and easy, but for me it was perfect, with 4 little kids I don't have the time for anything too long or complicated.

 Enjoy :)

We've had ALOT of snow this January ...
it's okay though Kaelen just pushes it into a big pile for the kids to sled on.








Max likes the snow for about 10 min...
