Snow Much Fun!

We were predicted to have a cold, snowy winter. Cold we had. Snow, not so much. But the girls finally got their wish later in February with a snow day from school. When the flakes began to fall at night they were super excited, and Riley wasn't sure what to think.

And they were up and at it early the next morning. 

A little snowball fighting in the neighbor's backyard. 

And what snow playtime would be complete without a snowman. 

Circus Time!

For Valentine's Day this year we decided to surprise the girls with tickets to the circus. They were so excited and had a great time.  Brooke did manage to take a little nap in the middle, but the temptation of popcorn was enough to wake her up.  Not the circus acts. Popcorn. Figures.

 I love spending time with my little family!

Ice Skating

Let me start off this post with making something very clear.  I went ice skating once. When I was in 3rd grade. I hated it.  I haven't tried it since. I have no plans to ever try it again. Period. End of story. Except now I have three little girls who love to watch ice skating and think it's wonderful. Marc knew when he married me that ice skating wouldn't be happening.  What he didn't plan on is having three little girls.  So a few weeks ago he took Kayla ice skating on a date.  They had a great time, but sisters talk and soon the other two were convinced they needed to go skating too. So one afternoon Marc made the crazy brave decision to take all three girls at the same time.

All smiles before getting on the ice.

Not quite as smiley and hanging on for dear life.

Then they were finally able to stand in one place on their own.

Super Dad!

And before long they were making laps around the rink holding hands.  I on the other hand took pictures because that's what every good mama does when she isn't participating in a family bonding experience.

Educational Happenings

Just a quick little pop in to share a couple of things that have been happening here on the school front. Macy had Famous American Day where she researched a famous American and gave a short speech on him/her. Macy chose Helen Keller and did a great job. Her class also learned a song listing all of the Presidents.  Pretty impressive to hear them.

And this little one is starting to read! She has now read 4 of these Bob books. She is quite proud of herself and I am too! (Please excuse the crazy hair.  Curly headed folks understand.)
