Winter Bliss!

We hit 40 degress today and it felt like a spring day. What a great day to take the dogs for a walk. I actually left the house without a coat! I think the pics show just how much Benny and Hunter enjoyed their outdoor time today.

A Pool Party!

Today the kids and I went to a pool party for Morgan's Birthday. Maya and Morgan went to preschool together. The kids had a good time, although I have so say the water was absolutely freezing!!! It didn't matter though, because where there's water and kids, good times are had by all!

Kai's Valentine's Day Party!

Today was kai's preschool Valentine's Day Party. It's a bit sad knowing that this will be my last preschool party as he is moving on to Kindergarten next year. The kids seemed to have a great time. They played musical hearts, parachute games, made heart crafts, and ate more sugar and sweets that I thought was possible.

FYI: Maya talked Dom into driving her to school today. She was so excited to be "a drive".

A Ride to School and A Donut!

To say it's cold today is an understatement. That's because the outside temp. this morning was registering at negative 2 (and that's without the wind chill)! I decided it was much too cold to wait at the bus stop so I offered to drive Maya to school. Of course we had to leave about 10 minutes early so we could stop at the local food mart two blocks from school for some yummy donuts.

Now that Maya has gotten a glimpse of "being a drive" as she calls it, she no longer wants to ride the bus in the morning and only wants us to drive her. She's in for a rude awakening tomorrow when she finds out she'll once again be waiting at the bus stop and taking the bus.

We Got Mailboxes In Our Mailbox!

The kids are always so excited to open their annual Valentine's Day surprise from Nanny. Maya and Kai each received a personalized mailbox filled with yummy sweats! Thanks Nanny for always thinking of us and being so thoughtful! Happy Valentine's Day!

More Snow!

How is it possible that we got another 6-8 inches of snow today? We're running out of places to dump this stuff!

Hunter and His Shoes!

Hunter loves to pick up the first shoe in sight every time anybody enters out home. This is to guarantee that he gets the attention first (even if the attention is negative and telling him to drop the shoe).

We are always spending a few extra moments each morning finding the other match to a pair of shoes. The shoes are never chewed, rather placed in a variety of spots around the house. Today, I was looking for one of Dom's shoes and said to Hunter... " Hunter, where is Dom's shoe?" He immediately responded by running into the kitchen and bringing me one of Dom's old boots that was next to the kitchen door. Even though it wasn't the right shoe, you gotta love a dog who listens!
