Happy Valentine's Day!

Our day started out with a snow day for both Grace and Charlie. We got 4 inches of snow over night, but the rest of the day was beautiful! We started our day out with heart shaped pancakes with sprinkles. Then we headed to the grocery store to get things for supper! We were home by 9:15, and got the rest of the driveway shoveled before Ross suprised us and came home early from work! He had to head back at 1, but was home by 6 which made for a nice Valentine's supper as a family. Kids and I spent the majority of the day baking cupcakes and chocolate covered strawberries. Grace kept saying how this was the best Valentine's ever!

Beautiful day!

It was a beautiful day today so the boys and I headed outside to enjoy the snow. Well they actually ejoyed the snow, I chipped away at the nearly 2" of thick ice on the driveway and sidewalk. I made awsome progress and had a ton of ice for ross to shovel off when he got home. Charlie even attempted to help shovel up the ice, but quickly gave up when he realized how heavy it was!

Big Boy!

The day has finally come! William is potty trained! Big boy pants and all! He is very proud of himself! Yeah for no more diapers!!!

Starting up again~

All right everyone~ I decided to start up again and attempt to get post pictures everyday. Here is hoping I remember! Snow was beautiful today. Just light and heavy enough for the kids to spend a good 2hrs outside making some snowmen! They ended up making a whole family!!

Ice Skating

We took the kids ice skating tonight. Grace did really well, she also had double blade skates. Charlie took a while to get the hang of it. William, not quite yet old enough.

William used this for a little while, then decided he was done with skating, so him and I sat out and watched for a while. Then, he decided he liked it better with his boots and he could just run around!

Charlie on his own!

Grace on her own. There was a little boy who she became friends with and he was helping her skate. He was in full hockey gear and skating like a pro. She was very impressed with his skating and i must say, he really did help her learn to skate better.

Sequence and cleaning

Grace loves playing board games. We sat down and played some Sequence this morning. We played best out of 5!

As you can see she won! Well, maybe I let her:)

The carpets needed vacuuming and Charlie wanted to do it! So here he is.

Grace then decided to vacuum the couch cushions for me as well. She found a quarter while doing it! She almost sucked it up in the vacuum until I told her she could keep it!

Construction worker William

William LOVES these goggles. I find him wearing them around the house for hours. I think he forgets he has them on. He puts them upside down and does not want them flipped around.
