Bruce took the kids outside this morning to play. The neighbor dog came over to play and the kids loved chasing her and climbing the snowhill with her. Max really liked wrestling her. He would get laughing so hard when she would jump off the hill, sometimes even jumping right over him. Hailey liked throwing snowballs for her so she could catch them. Nova is such a good dog and is great with the kids. She lets Max climb all over her. She is great with Champ too. In the summertime, her and Champ will run around the yard together. While Max took a nap, Bruce took Hailey to the Salvation Army to pick out some things to put in her box. The other day when we went to the store, she found a box and wanted it so bad. She said she needed it to make a cool thing like Kenzie did. Kenzie had a school project that she had to do a while ago and made a box showing the water cycle. Hailey said "I gotta do one too so I can learn things." So we let her take it home and daddy told her he would take her to the store to find some things to make something with it on his next day off. She was so excited about getting to do that today. When they got home she emptied out her bag and showed me all the things she bought for her project. Then her and daddy sat at the table and started working on it. Everything she did was her own idea, daddy just helped her. She loved painting all the little wooden hearts. She worked on her project for over an hour, and was very proud of it when it was finished.
