Spring? Break

So I promised I would keep this up during spring break...so here it is. 

It has continued to snow non-stop during this week, the nice thing is as soon as it does stop, it melts! But the other day we went out with an evil plot. Build a snow fort to attack my dad as he came home! 

We built the fort and were ready to attack when he got there when he called my mom, he would be picked up by the couple missionaries and taken to their house to help unload the new bed they had bought. What a bummer we couldn't attack him now. We still managed to have a good time though in the snow.

We attempted to build Calvin and Hobbes snowmen but we had enough troubles building a traditional one. 

 We live on a hill and as it has been snowing a LOT we have to shovel the snow off of it. Our snow shovel is a lot like a pan with a lawn mower handle attached to it. And it makes perfect sleds....We all had turns going down the hill, my mom pushed Ty and A.J. and Sky down. Then I wanted a turn...So Tyler got to push me. We went all the way down from one sign until he let go of me and I crashed into a snow drift on the side.

 My mom decided she wanted a turn too. So I got to push her down. She wouldn't let me put the picture Ty got of me pushing her though. We have played a lot of computer, watched a lot of T.V. (they have M*A*S*H here!), and played a lot of bored games, and done a lot of snow shoveling. To help me stave of the boredom, before school got out I got a copy of Eclipse in both English and Norwegian. So now I am slowly working my way through both copies. I do it sentence by sentence and when I have problems with a pronunciation or wonder what the word is I have a walking translator down stairs.
 My computer just went funky and now  this is on the bottom of this. I don't really know why, or course it did all that other stuff on accident any ways. Back to the walking translator, I am so grateful my dad has the patience to answer my endless questions. He tries to help me not only pronounce it right but use it in a sentence. I will come running down the stairs with my book in my hand and show him another word, ask him to say it, and then tell me what it means. I repeat it, thank him and then go up the stairs again to keep reading. It gets me really excited when I can use a word that he has explained for me or that I have figured out with the help of the English copy. This is just 'Flott' or Fantastic, I can read a book like this.
Well we are half way through Påske break (Easter) and I am excited for what to do in the next few days. For one thing it is my parent's anniversary tomorrow. Then Easter Sunday, and one finally day of break and then back to school. We need to get out the egg dying equipment though. I wonder what else Eastery we can do in the next few days.
Okay, I couldn't resist NOT adding a Calvin and Hobbes snowman for the end of this (thanks Mom for the suggestion):

I might have overdone it on pictures but you can never just read one Calvin! It's like eating only half the bar of chocolate, it's IMPOSSIBLE!!!! Any ways enjoy, because I sure did!
