The Snowman!

A Day In The Snow!

What does 45 degrees with snow on the ground mean? Great snowman making conditions. The kids, their friend Jordan, the dogs, and I put on our snow gear and walked to our neighborhood park where we spent the next two hours playing in the snow and on the playgound equipment. We all made a snowman together. Afterwards, Maya and Jordan worked dillengently on their walls for the snowball fight while Kai crafted a "trophy" out of snow. Benson even got involved in the snowball fight attempting to catch every snowball within reach.

Happy Valentine's Day!

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.
