Shrek on Broadway

Kelsey & Kris went to New York City to see Shrek on Broadway with Kelsey's honors class yesterday. We enjoyed lunch at Mars 2112 (a Mars themed restaurant) and then went to the Broadway Theater to see the show. The production was fabulous! We all had a great time.

Happy St Patrick's Day!

We celebrated with a dinner of green shamrock shaped panckes, sausage and green beer (green ginger ale for the kids)then topped it off with strawberries for dessert. Nick & Kelsey were quite impressed with the monster size strawberry and Koda enjoyed his green pancake.

Koda eats a snowman

The kids are addicted to AFV "America's Funniest Home Videos". One of the recent requests was to send in a video of your pet playing in the snow. Kelsey & Nick thought it would be funny to see Koda try to eat a snowman. Here is the filming of the event. They buried Koda's soccer ball in the body of the snowman and then decorated the snowman's face using dog treats. They are both very proud of how it turned out although we were all a bit disappointed he didn't dig out his ball.

More snow!

So we finally got enough snow to go sledding! Ok, so it was only 4 or 5 inches but that is our biggest snowfall this year! The kids had a blast but it was in the low 20's with alot of wind so they didn't last too long outside for anymore than an hour at a time. I think they were in and out 4 or 5 times today. And for those of you wondering, school was again cancelled for the expected 10-14 inches that never came.

Big Changes

Well, it has been busy here at the Andrews' House. We redecorated the master bedroom and had the whole house recarpeted. What a chaotic mess it has been. We finally have everything back together and can enjoy it! It feels like a completely different house! And as far as the kids doing the painting, that lasted for about 5 minutes!!!

More Snow

Wow we actually have measurable snow in inches rather than centimeters! About 3 inches fell today and that was enough to get out the sleds and shovels! Kelsey and Nick had fun playing with their friends Jake & Leah. Is it too much to hope for another snow day?

Playing in the Snow at 5 am

Hooray we got snow on January 28th! Ok, so it was less than 2 inches that melted in the rain a few hours later but at least the kids were able to play in it for a little while. Are we the meanest parents ever for getting the kids up at 5 in the morning to go out and play in the snow? Kelsey & Nick sure didn't think so! Besides, the schools are closed today in anticipation of the forecasted ice.
