Wet and Dull...no wild here

It has been said a hundred times in the last month, this winter officially sucks. The lack of snow is just shocking so whenever we do have some we try to get out and enjoy it. Finally being able to get out today with no sickies was great except for the wet slushy snow. Sledding was pretty much impossible however it was great for snowballs and a snowman and with the driveway almost clear the kids brought out their cars. I really do hope we have a bit more snow to enjoy before the warm sunny days of summer approach!

Just Like Leah

Lately, all we hear from Lindsey is, "I go on the potty like Leah," "I am a big girl like Leah," etc etc. It is a good thing Leah is 6 months older than Lindsey and while 6 months means nothing when you are 12 or 22 or 32, at the ripe age of 2 it can mean a lot. Leah has been going on the potty for quite some time and about 2 weeks ago Lindsey declared that she didn't want diapers, just big girl pants like Leah. I wasn't even ready to potty train her, I was thinking maybe this summer. However, I am proud to say that she has had no pee accidents however we are still working on #2. I may have to have Leah over for some more encouragement in that department!

A New Era

When we were kids and stayed home from school we watched TV, read a book (if we could read), slept, and really didn't do much of anything. In this day and age of technology, it is easy to stay home and play Wii, the DS, or play on the computer or Ipad. I found our kiddos this past week sitting in their chairs after dinner one night playing with the new toys. Well, it isn't Lindsey's new toy but it is really amazing how quickly they learn to use computers!

Marshmallows Roasting on an Open Fire....

That is right, not chestnuts, marshmallows! Who says you can roast marshmallows over a fire in the fire place? We did just that last weekend when we were house bound with the first round of germs to invade our house! Lindsey wasn't really a fan of them, she rather just each a piece of chocolate but the rest of us all enjoyed a smore!

Snow Day

It has been such a weird winter, especially with the lack of snow. When we finally did get some snow last week Jake was eager to get outside and shovel, even in the bitter cold, while Lindsey and I stayed in. There is never a dull moment!

One Rockin' Family

It isn't a secret anymore, I love playing Rock Band on the Wii! Last weekend we played it as a family (Lindsey just thought she was) and it was so much fun! It is such a bummer that it isn't sold anymore! Good thing we have some friends that will let us play!

A Special Gift

Each year Lindsey's godparents come up with a special gift for her on Christmas! She is so blessed to have them in her life (we are too)! This year Aunt Jen created a Dora book that includes Lindsey's name and picture in it as part of the whole book! Leah got one from Santa and the girls were sharing their books last week. Thank you Charltons!
