signs of a fun snow day

Yesterday we had a snow day.  The first one of the season.  Today is the second one.  It's crazy that we are off school.  It's really not that bad out there.  I guess we have been protected from crazy drivers and for that I am thankful...

school valentines

Each year we spend loads of time figuring out what valentines to make for our friends.  We try to bring things that fit into these categories: creative, homemade and not candy.  We don't always succeed but we like the process...

Carsyn and Luke (well, me really) made these necklaces.  They are made out of washers.  So fun and super easy (and cheap).  AND just in time for baseball season....


Reagan decided to go with fish- because she has a fish.  AND because it's candy...


Tonight, while addressing the back of a few remaining cards, Reagan said, "Mom, I can't sign Mrs. Barnes in cursive.  She can't read cursive.  She only know english."

snow

Sunday morning we woke to the most snow we've seen all season.  The kids were so excited we let them play for an hour before church.  They LOVE the snow!

february goals

I can't believe it's already February.  Time has flown and I am only just beginning to sink into 2013.  January went by entirely too fast but I did manage to complete my goals for the month, almost...

- scrapbook Carsyn up to kindergarten (check!  I decided to go digital- it's rocked my world!)
- eat lunch with Denise (check!)
- go see a movie (Argo- check!)
- have lunch with Dale at least twice (1/2 a check)
- send a card to a friend (1/2 a check- I sent it today)
- get Luke and Reagan's photos taken (check! see below- they are amazing!)
- make homemade tortillas (notsomuch)

I decided to make monthly goals this year instead of one long list of things I want to accomplish throughout the year.  I like things that are attainable and in-sight.  I am going to list them here so I can be more accountable...

February 

- write notes of encouragement and love (to my kids/husband)

- have lunch with friends

- have a date night

- make homemade tortillas (spilled over from last month)

- read a book

- blog once a week

- second annual overnight gno with carsyn and reagan

basketball

This year Carsyn is playing basketball.  Dale and I are enjoying watching her play.  She is a great player.  She is very intense, keeps her head in the game and is great at stealing the ball!   

We are very proud of her!
