Girls and their Dolls

My parents took their girls, and their dolls, to a play this weekend.  Aren't they pretty girls?  These pretty girls had a rough day today.  They started fighting and got into trouble.  I hate it when that happens.  But the day ended on a good note!  We played pictionary and wrestled and did our family devotions!  After they went to bed I started on my annual Valentine's tradition. 

A Swinging Good Time

Hope you have a great weekend and make sure you check out CSN Stores!

For the Love of an Avacado

Would you believe this little stinker is 7 months old now?? His new favorite foods are; pureed blueberries mixed with oatmeal, avacados, bananas and carrots.  He is a good eater.  The easiest baby I have had so far in the food department.  Now, if only I could get him to drink from a sippy cup or bottle.....

Our Weather

I bet you are glad you don't live here huh?  Inside our house is a different story though...we have had homemade pizza, homemade cookies, laughter, family games, sibling knock down drag out fights disagreements, a cute baby and some coloring.  Now, don't you really wish you were here????

Iced In

I will tell you one thing....getting snowed and iced in was a LOT easier when we home-schooled.  I am praying that we can home-school the girls again this year.  They went to school 1 day this past week.  When we home-schooled, it was no biggie.  We just kept doing school like always, there was no such thing as a snow day.  Doing home-school kept us busy til lunch time.  After lunch, it was play time for the girls and cleaning time for me.  The days just flew by.  But them being in public school sure changed that.  They have always been early risers.  So for the past 5 days they have been awake between 6-6:15 a.m.  Our house now is very small.  They have not been able to get outside much at all.  For three days we did not leave our house.  Now they are calling for more snow to top off all this ice we have!  It is looking like they will not have school Monday. 

Here are a few things we have done to keep our sanity in tact busy.  We have all learned a new game together, it is an old one, Othello.  We have played Pictionary.  The girls and I baked a cake.  I spent $4.99 on an Auntie Annie's At Home Pretzel baking kit.  We have cleaned, done laundry, made homemade pizzas and I will admit....we have given them extra computer time. 

Are you snowed or iced in right now?  What is your family doing to make memories?

If you turn your back on the Professor.....

Our little guy loves blankets!

Our Hippie....the Artist

Ok, so I do realize our daughter is not the next Van Gogh or da Vinci, but I am blown away by this picture she made.  She is 6 years old and this is her self-portrait and it is way better than anything I have ever made!  I am so impressed by her talent!  She used an artist sketch pad and water pencils.
