Snow Days

By now, you've all heard of, if not experienced, this crazy winter storm. Tuesday morning we awoke to whiteness. Originally, we thought it was snow, and technically it sort of was, but mostly it was just ice. It was about 18 degrees outside, too, which is something I am definitely NOT used to any more! Tink kept asking all day if we could go out and play in the snow, and I had to keep reminding her that it wasn't snow, just ice. And, that is was too stinkin' cold to go out and play. With the wind-chill I think it was in the single digits. Brrrrrr!

We went over to one of my friend's house to make freezer dinners and had to bundle everyone up. Pateetee was not a fan of getting layers of clothing on or getting buckled in her car seat. However, before we got home (My friend lives less than 5 minutes away. I can walk to her house in nicer weather.), she was sound asleep. I love to take pictures of my sleeping babies!




This is what we woke up to this (Friday) morning. Real snow! Tink was so excited that as soon as she woke me up, she asked if we could play in the snow. And, after we ate breakfast and got ready, we did!





Sknija got super cold after about 15 minutes outside, so I had to take him and Teetee inside. Tink decided to stay out in the back yard for another 20 or so minutes. I have decided that I don't mind colder weather as long as there is snow because then we can actually go out and play in it. And, I prefer it to not be so cold that it's just plain unbearable to take children outside. Oh! And, it's much nicer when you actually have the proper winter clothing. I know, I'm so picky. ;)

Pateetee eating some of the snow that fell off her mittens--She really like eating the snow!



Just came in from the snow--I don't think she was ready to come in just yet, but I had to bring her in with Skinj.



Teetee's first time being in the snow!






I put her in the stroller so I could play in the snow too.



Tink and Skinja playing and having fun--This makes me wish we lived some place that got more snow in the winter.





I took this picture just before we went outside to play. You can't tell, but the kids each have on at least two layers of clothing. Like I said before, proper winter clothing would be nice! ;)

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
