snow days...snow days

starting the valentines month off right with a little sweetheart hot chocolate (soy of course)...strawberry marshmallows are actually pretty awesome in chocolate! not to mention, they look kinda pretty!!

playing parachute with the blanket...

my little poser.....and her sister!

you never know what face your going to get! when she was just a few months old i took a series of pictures of her making so many different expressions (i think i even blogged about it)....still to this day she will have a different look in five frames...our funny valentine!

it looks like we will be adding a few extra days to the school year....oh boy! this winter is starting to remind me of last year. i'm not even sure we have had one full week of school yet since christmas break.....geesh! so yesterday was a fun day, playing, watching movies and drinking hot chocolate, but today......is home schooling day. you can call us mean, but they need to put there little brains to work.....then they can kill a few brain cells watching bye bye birdie and yes, that movie was my suggestion....checked it out from the library on monday (anticipating snow days...because i am actually a little tired of watching star wars)...needless to say it was a huge hit. kylee was actually moaning and groaning about having to watch it (like i was twisting her arm or something), then in the midst of watching it she stopped to thank me because she really liked it. go figure!

you would think that snow days would be a good time to clean, but not in my house...what is the point really. there is a trail that follows each kid. i wish kids understood that their little lives would be so much easier if they would just pick up after themselves before moving on to the next task. why can't they figure this out?? i don't like having to tell them over and over again, but i am not going to pick it up either. that is why weekend cleaning is better...they go back to school after it is clean...ha! well, maybe not in the winter ;-)

i think being cooped up indoors has helped mya finally get back on track...just in time to mess her up again when we go on our trip that has a four hour time difference. we think she has also started to do a wave of sorts. when she sees you across the room and you say "hi" she moves her arm up and down and waves her fingers towards herself. it's pretty cute! she's getting so big...they all are...but don't i always say this??
