Tornado has made himself a nest. I regularly hear him scrunching the paper just so at night time.
Ben got a new car today! While he ordered it back in November, we weren't expecting it until mid-February which made everything feel slightly rushed. However, all the paperwork easily got finished on time and he was able to get it.
I know it's not a great picture, but I regularly go for quick and easy pictures instead of good pictures.
We had some friends over tonight. They include a lot of boys between 7th and 1st grade. The kids just play though...it's always a bit crazy, but in a good way.
They also went outside for a little bit. So now the whole yard has footprints around it, but it's perfect.
I had most of the day blocked out for cleaning the house and getting ready, but by 9am I decided that it was good enough. I did do a bit more cleaning and stuff, but at the same time I was much more laid back. It was a nice feeling; the house has been staying a little cleaner than normal somehow and it's made life easier several times. Surprise surprise.
We finally got some snow. I guess we had some yesterday too, but most of it was today and it was beautiful.
Beyond that, it was a pretty normal day for me. Isaac climbed his first V2 route at rock climbing, so that was exciting. (It starts with VB, Beginner. Then VB+, V0, V1, and now he's done V2. It gets hard quickly.) I belayed Joshua several times on a route. He did the run several times. First just to try it, then with fewer breaks, then with no breaks, and then with as many breaks as he could. It was a funny challenge.
Isaac enjoyed eating dinner with both cats on his lap this evening.

And after:
As I mentioned before, I didn't get rid of a ton of stuff. It is reorganized so that the bottom shelf holds more of the commonly used items. I've also used up a few of the items that have been sitting around for a while and we just haven't eaten them. I'm hoping to do a few more within the next few weeks to help clean it out even a bit more.
