January and February are not my favorite months! But, I will be honest, they've gotten better now that the kids are in school and I'm not trapped in the house with two babies because it is too cold to do anything else!
 |
| S and I went to our first homeless feeding! I didn't think it would be appropriate to be snapping photos while we served, but I did get one at the end when the kids were drinking/eating(?) hot chocolate that was left over! |
 |
| When I got the invitation for C's friend's Nerf birthday party, I immediately stuck that one on M! He's much better suite for that sort of thing! And, he apparently had as much as C did:) |
 |
| Child labor at it's best! |
 |
| And the boy's at it too:) |
 |
| The kids received a cookbook from the cooking class they went to and were so excited to make these chicken nuggets! Lucky me, I had a neighbor join in the trying-of-patience, um, I mean, relaxing family time! They really did do a great job and the nuggets were delicious!! |
 |
| I had a little time to kill before I had to go get the kids from school! Nowhere else I'd rather spend it than Barnes and Noble! |
 |
| Took the kids to pick out their Valentine's for their classes! These were there choices, or so I thought! 5 minutes later they changed their minds and both ended up with something else! LOL! |
 |
| Nothing beats running around at the playground before piano! |
 |
| "I would buy a xBox 390(I think he meant 360!) and a new robot what makes my bed and brushes my teeth and cleans my room!" |
 |
| Apples to Apples Jr. has become a regular affair in the evenings:) |
 |
| Never a dull moment with these four! |
 |
| S made a pillow:) |
 |
| Some friends from church came home with S and they set up their snack area in the front yard! HAHA!! |
 |
| M was sick for a few days, so I took C to basketball practice! It was fun watching him:) |
 |
| I tried Stitch Fix for the first time - I think I'm going to like it and ordered another box and see how it goes! |
 |
| C has improved tremendously in his reading the past few weeks! He's actually been choosing to read to pass time - which has NEVER happened before!! |
 |
| S caught a bass one evening in the short 20 minutes they were down at the the dock! |
 |
| I just love going to the grocery store when it's pouring out! |
 |
| I was so lucky and got to spend 3 days in ONE WEEK at the dentist's office... I've apparently cracked 2 teeth!!! |
 |
| Someone pulled the fire alarm at pick up time! I bet the teachers were loving that!!! |
 |
| Gigi visited one afternoon and brought her tent for the kids to play in! |
 |
| They were totally sleeping, can't you tell!!??! |
 |
| On President's Day, I took the kids to a camp at the children's museum for a few hours! My thought had been that I just KNEW there were going to be a bunch of snow days in early February and we would be so sick of each other by the time President's Day arrived! HA! It has been SO WARM!!!! But, we still all enjoyed our day:) |
 |
| While the kids were at camp, among other things, I went for a run through Cleveland Park! It was a beautiful day and I think it must have been a dad's day out with the kids because the park was covered with a bunch of dudes and their kids! |
 |
| Our wedding photographer contacted us a few weeks ago and asked if we wanted all of our negatives from our wedding! YES!!!! I almost forgot what a negative was in this world of digital photography! This does say a bit about how long we've been married:) |
 |
| Church choir started for the kids and since my class that I'm going to be doing on Wednesday nights didn't start for another week, I took the time to read at the church library! SUCH A GOOD BOOK! |
 |
| The kids and I did another homeless feeding! This was a first for C and M was suppose to join us too, but he was laid up with the flu! It was a very rewarding time! |
 |
| S's friend had an ice skating party! |
 |
| C and I tagged along! I was so nervous we'd have another egg on the head episode with this kiddo! He did start out slow this time, but in typical fashion, he was soon zooming around the rink - much to my chagrin! |
 |
| 6 days after coming down with the flu and not leaving the house, M was on his way to work! And look how they both came out dressed! |
 |
| We held our first school Spirit Night at Zaxby's and since I'm on the board, that meant we were in charge of cleaning the dining area throughout the night! Both kids were actually super-excited(C just didn't want his picture taken!)! |
 |
| Dinner break for the cleaning crew:) |
 |
| I don't let the kids watch the DVD player very often unless we are on a long trip! But, this kiddo has a lot of time spent going here there and everywhere, so I let him this day! This month I've introduced the kids to The Goonies and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids! Brings back childhood memories:) |
