Fun Fun Fun

Today we woke up, played in the snow and came in for hot cocoa- a cozy, wintery, wonderful start to the day. Then the kids had their end-of-semester dance showcase today. So much fun! Their dance class with Integrated Rhythms and Ms. Kelly has been fantastic, and had a great end today. We, of course, signed up for another semester. We love being able to walk to such a great establishment in our neighborhood.
The dance show was held in the auditorium of a local middle school, Skinner Middle School. What a wonderful school, and the building is truly charming.
From there we ventured on to the local Starbucks for a "special treat" for our little dancers. They deserved a nice reward after their performance (cake pops.. ).
Across the street from Starbucks, we have another neighborhood gem- Ernie's Pizza. A newish, old feeling neighborhood bar and pizza restaurant with great food and ambiance. The calamari starter was yummy, as always, and our favorite food is the simple cheese pizza. Delicious. Today, since we have a visitor staying with us, we also added the Antipasto- too much to list (cheeses, roasted almonds, giant capers, olives and much more), piled high on a large plate. Yum.
What a terrific day in the neighborhood!

Let it snow let it snow let it snow


Yes, it has snowed, in October :) I'm pretty happy about it, and so are the kids! It was a heavy, heavy snow and a lot of tree branches fell- the leaves still hanging on makes the snow stick better.
Beautiful none the less!





Our neighborhood is heavily treed (Denver standards) making for beautiful changes of seasons (and lots of downed tree limbs).
After lots of play in the snow we decided to come in for some hot cocoa! Some runny noses followed, but it was so worth it. Now we are hoping for lots more of the cold white stuff. Did I mention fall is my favorite season?! I think winter might be too!

Dogs, kids and snow equals the best combination ever!

FYI, I just got a tip from a colleague at Shaklee, she puts Nutriferon in her children's hot cocoa to help boost their immunity during cold/flu season!
