More Catching Up...

I'm getting closer!  Hopefully Ill be caught up before our new little baby comes because I know I'll be behind again then!

This was in February this year.  Emma had a fascination with unicorns for a couple of months and made several unicorn horns to wear.  On this day, Matthew and Bella decided they wanted one too!  I LOVE Bella's little tiny horn, I think it is so darling.  She wore it for a while too.  They were so cute!

Bella's first time plying in the snow.  This was not her favorite experience.  :)  She didn't like it when she fell in the snow because she got cold.  The fact that she could barely move or walk made her falls frequent.  It was not a great combination!  So we all ended up in the back yard on the swing set.  She really liked that.  Emma and Matthew had fun the whole time though.  They love the snow!

Easter was on April 8th this year.  We had our annual Easter BBQ on Saturday the 7th.  We all had fun as usual.  I was quite surprised at Bella.  Both Emma and Matthew didn't do much at her age, but I guess since she loves candy so much, she was going to town.  She got almost as much candy as Emma and Matthew did.  Don't get between a girl and her candy!  :)

In our house... and outside too!

Here are a couple of things we have been doing in our house lately, and outside our house as well.

Bugsy loves to grab Daniel's finger and pull him in the living room saying, "pleez play rosie?" It is so cute. I don't know why, but Daddy is the official Ring Around the Rosies and Tea Party player. They don't ask mommy, just daddy. It is darling!

We had snow again a week ago Friday. I could tell it was going to melt pretty quickly, so we went out and played that morning. Matthew helped a little with the snowman, but was mostly intent on shoveling the snow. Of course it had all but melted on the cement, so obviously he shoveled the grass. :)

Emma really wanted to build a snowman, so we did. The snow was so wet and heavy that when we got to the second ball, I almost was not able to get it on top of the first one. We tried 2 different angles, and broke several parts off the middle ball, but persevered and were finally able to get it up there.

After the snowman, shoveling, snow angels and a lovely temper tantrum from Bugsy when we had to come in, we enjoyed some hot chocolate together.

Yesterday was "crazy hair" day at Emma's preschool. I forgot until I looked at the calendar on the fridge. Fortunately, we had about 1/2 hour to do her hair, and even with that we were still a couple of minutes late. We braided different colored pipe cleaners all through the top and then curled the back and pinned it up. She loved it! She is getting so old!

Catch Up 2!

On October 27th it snowed!!! Emma was so excited and of course wanted to make a snowman. We decided to get all bundled up and go out and build one. Emma had snow pants, but I had not purchased any for Matthew yet, so he had to use Emma's old ones which are of course pink. Besides that, his coat is enormous, so he basically ended up looking like a big bundle of snow clothes. He was darling, however, he was not excited about being all bundled and not able to move. He was really excited to go outside though. Here are some pictures.

Emma loved the snow! She was having such a good time rolling around and making snow angels and helping build the snowman.

Matthew did not love the snow so much. He didn't like the fact that it was cold and he kept falling down because of the fact that he was a big marshmallow. Poor little guy. He was totally ready to go in by the end.

Here's the finished product! We had a great time building it. Of course, because of the fact that it was a fairly warm day, the snowman inevitably crumbled an hour later. Oh well, we had a great time, except of course Bubbers!
