This week in mommy blogger history

So, we've been busy.

Getting snowed in with record-breaking snowfall and trying out the kids' new shovels.


Building snow caves.


And yes, we're in Colorado (though it looks a lot like Canada)

Playing with the newest addition to our family.


Making a Dry Ice Crystal Ball at our annual Halloween bash.


(And miraculously, I did not blow up the house).

Making "Incredibly" eerie ghost sounds with balloons.


(I learned all these cool science experiments at a Steve Spangler Science event I attended. Checkout Mile High Mamas Creative Corner for more fun ideas).

And just being cute.


(Hadley is second from the left and had long since removed her bat costume. Bode is a firefighter on the front row).

The in-laws rushed their move along and were thrilled to leave this week because they "did not want to move in winter."

Sucks to be them.

Looks like you all had a great time- My youngest is also a bat this year.

We're crazy about Steve Spangler's science experiments, too. Aren't they just PERFECT?

We have no snow here yet, just sunshine and falling leaves. I can't wait for snow!

Melissa said...

Steve Spangler, eh? Sounds interesting! Gonna have to check out your link and maybe do a little Googling :)
I have decided that I miss the snow. What I don't miss is the ice, wind, slush, and idiots that can't remember how to drive in such weather!

Kelly said...

Thats a crazy amount of snow I am glad I am not there!!!

Amber said...

Steve Spangler Science is soooo cool. Seriously. He has so many easy (and awesome) experiments.

Yep, crazy amount of snow. School was canceled for tomorrow too.

Amber said...

P.S. Heaven help me. :-)

What a fun party! Every year, you throw the best Halloween celebrations.

Lauren in GA said...

It is rare to see snow on your jack-o-lantern. That is a very telling and cool photo.

Glad you didn't blow up the house. I consider not blowing up the house a trademark of a great party.

You are a cool Mom...GREAT PARTY!

Lauren in GA said...

I meant, "hallmark" not trademark...

Shana said...

I love Steve Spangler Science!

And I love the pumpkin with snow on it!!!

Noelle said...

It's way too early for snow. We had it twice so far this month, but it's gone now and I'm back in denial that winter is coming.

Cute photos, Amber.
Yes, my kids are loving this snow. Me , not so much. I asked my daughter to make a For sale sign for our house. :)

Amber said...

It's Day 2 and the snow is still coming down. We probably have 1.5 feet of snow in our backyard, likely 2 feet by the end of the storm. I've lived in CO and have never seen a snow storm this early in the season!

Jamie said...

Holy snow! Here in Alberta it still looks like fall! +12 is called for Saturday! Sorry to rub it in - it is so rare I get to do it!!! LOL!!

Lisa said...

The snow is sort of fun with little kids when you really don't care if you get them to school or not and you can stay home and watch Disney or build snowmen. I do miss that. It's the rest I don't like.

It's too cold for me in CA right now. I'm a cold weather baby.

Tee aka The Diva's Thoughts said...

I wanna get snowed in at YOUR house!

Amber said...

It's been a wild ride! Kids finally back in school after two straight days of snow.

Amanda D said...

I'm loving the snow pictures. I love the snow. Dang that living in the pacific northwest where apparently snow is unusual. I saw that Denver had a ton of snow and wondered what that did to your in-laws plans for moving.

I love the snow pictures...

The kids are just wonderful on their costumes.
