Catching Up...

It has been a while since I have posted.  It may be a slow month for the Snow Family blog!

We have been keeping busy.  A couple of weeks ago Benny wanted to try a 1,000 piece puzzle.  I told him I did not think this was a good idea but he insisted.  The boys surprised me and worked on the puzzle for 5 - 6 days.  They finally gave up once they found that our dog Ripley ate a few pieces.  They had more patience for that puzzle than I would have!

Way too many pieces for me!

The boys and the puzzle!

Last week George and I went out for dinner on Tuesday night.  It was such a treat!  George arranged for Uncle Colin to watch the boys at his place in Manchester.  George and I then headed out to the Strange Brew Tavern.  It is a great place - good food and lot's of good beer.  Tuesday night is $2 pints and half-price appetizers.  What a deal!  While we were enjoying the delicious food - try the Crab and Artichoke dip - Uncle Colin and the boys were having fun at the Manchester Super Buffet.  Apparently Jacob loaded up and had three plates of food!

We have also been eating well at home.  I have been trying out some new recipes and fortunately they have been very good.  My favorites so far have been:  Chicken and Corn Chowder, Dijon Mustard Chicken Fricassee, Buttermilk Oven Fried Chicken, and this great French Beef Stew.

The warm weather has been a nice change of pace.  We are making good use of the driveway as we wait for the rest of the snow to melt.  Benny likes to play frisbee now.  He has a mean throw.  He is getting pretty good at catching the frisbee too - he only got hit once on the lip and once on the head so far!  We have also pulled out the baseball bat and gloves.  I decided that I need to get into the action too and have been trying to hit line drives to the boys so they can practice fielding.  It is good that I can laugh at myself.  My father will tell you that I throw like a girl as well!
