Marshmallow fight

Back in December I read a magazine article about a woman whose favorite Christmas tradition was having marshmallow fights on Christmas Eve. So, I went out and bought 4 bags of marshmallows, put them in the cupboard and decided it would be our new favorite tradition too. Then I forgot about them...until last night. Grant spotted them and asked if we could have a marshmallow fight. So, we divided up our ammo and started throwing. It was fun until Jim decided he was in 8th grade dodgeball and I was his enemy. :) Really, though, it was a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. Kate kept asking if she could eat them. We told her no bc they were dirty. But, whenever we'd turn our heads she'd sneak one in. The chipmunk cheeks gave it a way a little bit.

March in Florida

The kids and I just got back from 7 wonderful days in sunny Florida. While Jim was here working we were visiting grandma and grandpa Koss in Naples. The kids loved playing in the sand and pool. When it was cold out we visited Chick-Fil-A, the library and the stripmalls. We ate well (when don't we in the Koss house?). Grant vacuumed the whole place and scrubbed both showers for us (voluntarily). We went on several "bug hunts" and Grant was brave enough to let a giant bug crawl up his arm. We played baseball and trucks in the sand. Papa was an all-star and went in the Gulf with Grant everyday. On the last day two sting rays were inches from their legs. Grant then reported to everyone on the beach that he saw a "sting bat." A good time was had by all!

ahoy!

Every morning Grant wakes up and tells us his new name. Some days it is superman, others it is Captain Hook or Peter Pan. Jim gladly joins in the fun and makes pirate ships, rocket ships or whatever is needed for the adventure.

A note on Kate- the doctor said to try Mylanta and it seems to be working.
