Enough already.

First, thanks to some help from Ann for the update to my blog. She taught me a bunch of new tricks to freshen things up a bit. I think this is nice change!

On to the weather. I used to like winter. Like when I was 7.

I really started to dislike winter when I was in college. I still remember how cold my legs used to get when I was walking to class, the wind always whipping around.

Then I had kids. Three kids = Three hats. Six mittens/gloves. Six boots.

I now hate winter even more. Maybe when the girls can walk and hold a hand better it won't be so bad. For some reason I doubt it.

I'm glad others don't mind it as much.

The girls would like to join in the fun.

The weather report for the next two days is ugly. Ice, snow, more snow, wind, cold. Maybe they will be wrong... At least we still have one more snow day : )

Off to find a project. Just in case.

Curly-Q

If I had a dollar for every time someone looked at the girls (when they were babies) and said, "look at all that hair!" As they admired Addy. Poor Molly, everyone thought she was a boy as she was wrapped in a pink and brown blanket. This is what she wanted to say to them : )
Addy's hair has come a long way.

From super straight,

to completely crazy...

it has always been the defining feature that has helped tell the girls apart. She now has the most beautiful curls on the back of her head. I am afraid that they are going to grow out and end up getting cut off one day. I hope not though because daddy is getting awfully good at combing through them! She knows she's pretty!!

Masterpieces

Here are a few of Connor's (sort of) recent projects.

I always make gingerbread houses with my second graders the day before Christmas break. This year, Ken happened to already be on vacation so the boys decided they would come and join the fun! Connor informed my mom that theirs was the best in the whole class!

Ken did the sticking things on while Connor bossed where he wanted everything. Notice the chimney : )

He also made this darling Baby Jesus at his church school. We kept him displayed all during the Christmas Season. I can't believe my baby is capable of such amazing work!

Thank YOU Santa!

Everyone at our house must have been really good this year, especially Connor! Santa left him just what he has always wanted... His sisters gave him a little something to add to his collection.

There is nothing like listening to your 3 year old rock out to Away in a Manger. We have a real one man band going on at our house!!
