Deer Hunting get-away

Every year for deer hunting, my wonderful Aunt D "claims" me and my kids for a weekend or two. It is GREAT! We go and stay at her house. She lets me sleep in, feeds us well, and we just play and relax all weekend. This year we got extra lucky. Not only did we go to D's house two of the three weekends, but then Grancy claimed us for the third weekend! Grancy even let me stay home one day all by myself and work on our house....heaven! Thank you to the entrie H family for all of your help with my kids and thanks to our wonderful Grancy! We really do not know what we would do without all of you! We are so lucky....including S because he may not be hunting all three weekends if is wasn't for all of you! :o)
Here are some pics from our weekends away:

Weekend #1...N and D playing Yahtzee

Weekend #2....a whole weekend with the train table!

Also during weekend #2, we got our first real snow! A lot of it. Bummer for P, who was home and had to shovel it all. It was also very fun to play in! N called me right away in the morning to see if it had snowed a lot at our house too. He was so excited! So, I worked on the house Saturday, shoveled some serious snow, and loaded all the snowpants, boots, and mittens in the car, and headed to Grancy's. Here is some of our Winter fun.
