If you ask me Joel has a lot of his Grandpa Wilding in him. To Joel -- what is better than digging in the dirt? Digging in the snow of course!!! He has been asking me for the last month when the snow is going to come so that he could make holes in the snow with his digger (he calls every "project" he does his "job", yes thank you bob the builder!). Well, his dream came true the other day. In typical Idaho weather 60 one day -- 3 inches of snow the next! Joel got up that morning and as he has for the past month came and told me "Mom, I'm checking the snow -- be right back." He was so excited to see it snowing and not very happy with his mom who made him eat breakfast and get dressed BEFORE he went out in the snow. Joel has also learned that sandals with socks don't work in the snow, and that mittens really are a good thing (amazing how mom is always right ;) !)
As for the next pictuere, the title still applies sometimes!!! On Thursdays, Joel has a play swap where he goes to a friends house one week and the next week Joel's friend comes to our house. We have them play and do different activities for a couple of hours. This cute turkey is what Joel made at his friends house this week. Isn't it cute! Joel was so proud of it - he almost didn't eat it!!!
What cute turkeys huh?!

Oh the snow! Crazy Idaho weather. I am glad he appreciates it! What cute turkeys.
P.S. You are the best blog commenter in the world . . . thanks.
I LOVE the turkey thing! That is stinking adorable! And what a cute little guy!
We love bob the builder over here too. We look for scoop and rolly whenever we're in the car. Sigh. Cute turkey!
How fun that you guys have snow! No surprise that Joel loves it so much... Siena has been dying to wear her snow pants and make a snowman like she sees in so many of her books, and I have to keep saying, "As soon as it snows...."
And friend swaps are the best. :)
That turkey craft is way cute. I am going to have to copy that and have Sadie make it this week.
