Icicles!

The girls love pulling icicles off the porch and licking them, or smashing them on the cement.
Ben likes to throw things at the ones hanging from my roof. And also smash them against things.
Look at the whoppers kev got for the girls. In the last week they have all melted enough that they fell off. The loud smashing of them landing in the window wells was enough to startle me several times a day for couple of days. The ice and snow is starting to melt!!! Now if it would just not snow again. This morning we had a flurry and I'm sure there's more storms coming.

just for stealing

I know when I put pix in the header then you can't steal them for yourself and I'm sure mom and Laurie want them, so I'm posting it as well

New Stories

I was brushing through Addy's hair the other day and I tell her she has big old knots. "Old like Granny?"
"Not quite that old" I told her. Granny is Kev's grandma who is 80 some odd.

Ian loves putting stuff on his head and thinks he's so cute. He put a toy bucket over his head and ran full speed into the wall, bounced back and fell on the floor. He was bawling, but I was laughing.

We drove past a house Callie goes to playschool at and she said "there's my friend" Sure enough the friend was asleep and her dad was carrying her into the house. Addy said, "but i didn't see her, what did she look like?" Callie said "She has eyes. . in her head"

Callie's Birthday!

Callie's birthday nearly killed me. We started with Addy going to school and having playschool at our house. Luckily Drina needed to help for a class and with her help I was able to do everything else. She came up with these cute crowns!!My kid love getting balloons for their birthday, and Kev loves taking them to get them.

Callie wanted a castle cake like Addy's. It was a lot easier this time having already made one. The little cupcakes for spires worked really well and that's what the kids wanted, not a piece of cake.
This is the crowd of helpers. Except Ian, cuz he's too busy to get in the pix. We had Stacie and David over with their three kids (alli is running around too) and  that just made the night complete. Addy and Callie love their friends and all summer Gabe was over when they were, so he knows them well too.

Valentine's Day

These are the valentine's I made for the kids before they ripped them apart.
We had a very busy day. Me and Kev went out to lunch for our Valentine's Celebration and a drive. Then there was all the ice chipping in the drive way. We gave the kids their valentines just before I started making our dinner. We had dinner at mom's and she made the Steak's and I made the Salmon. It was so pretty I had to take a pix. This is Maple Salmon from Rachel Ray. And it did taste as good as it looks.
