Snow day #4..... I'm glad that I got some little things to decorate cookies for Valentines a while back... We did that for entertainment today... Of course, since I can't make a cookie to save my life, we used sugar cookie dough from the package (and they still turned out like funny blobs instead of hearts!) But, it was fun anyway!!! And, Jas was so nice and took us out to Sake for supper late tonight to get us away from the house!! :)
Snow Day #3 for Jason and Kylie both again.... We are getting desperate for things to do apparently... Do you know just how long it takes charcoal to FINALLY get hot in the middle of winter?!!!! Let's just say that it took FOREVER for us to get around to eating our steaks, but they were soooo worth it!!! We had mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, mushrooms, onions, garlic, and steak tonight!!! We don't eat very much meat, but occasionally we become carnivorous and just pig out!!!
Snow Day #2 Jason was also home, and we all went out and played/ shoveled for a long time. Today, the girls worked very hard to collect the chunks of ice that they found while Jas was shoveling... It was so funny how long they worked at this! 
My picture of me for this month.... I like to stay behind the camera!!
Promise of spring....
Ari gave me a collection of toys for my bath... I mean, how could a bath be fun without toys, right?!
Snow Day #1- Kylie came along with us to our appointments, and we lucked out and got to have her appointment switched to today because someone had cancelled!!!
Ari wanted to have a tea party this morning. We ended up with a coffee party, and she brought her snuggly to it (her idea)... (She had to drink his coffee for him though Kylie decided to go get her snuggly too. Mostly, they drank a little coffee with a LOT of sugar!!! 
And, after the coffee party, they made this. I think it's so cool how Kylie can build stuff! She got that from her Daddy, not me!!!! 
Jas tried to warn me... He said, "You are about to be freaked out." But, I looked over before I understood what he meant because I felt something touch me. I was expecting to see the dog, but there was a little person right beside my computer chair. (This was very late at night after they were already in bed.) And, sure enough, Ari totally freaked me out! She always wakes up so happy and loving. We've all been passing a cold around; so, I've been sleeping with her for several nights because I get worried when she's congested. 
Since we didn't go to church and were all home sick, we tried to do something fun. The girls wanted to be pirates again today; so, Jas built a pirate ship. They played in it; and, after a nap, I made a treasure map. They found the treasure (candy!) in the dryer and were really happy. (They only have candy on Saturdays (most of the time) unless it's a prize at school or a treat before a nap for Ari.) It was fun! 
Jason playing his XBOX 360 - FIFA 09 Soccer game
One of my favorite things in our house- the polka dot walls that took me forever to paint.
Today, the snow melted and we went outside to play in the mud... It was 55 F. (13 C) Tomorrow, is supposed to be back to normal; so, we had to get out while we had the chance! :)
We went to Bill and Janet's (Jason's mom and dad's) house tonight for chilli. Janet is very fun and never worries about making messes. I have learned from watching her that it's nice to relax and let things get crazy or messy sometimes. Jas always talks about the funny things that she did when he was a kid. Here Kylie and Janet are "sword fighting" with wrapping paper rolls. 
And this is right before going to church tonight with Grandpa and Grandma:They look like sisters all right... exact same pose...(uses Christian's preset and texture and Danielle's edge from Catscrap) 
Ari had her first Dentist appointment today. They were only going to introduce her to the chair and look in her mouth basically, but she was doing so good. And, she was looking forward to doing everything that Kylie did the other day. So, she sat very still while the doctor scraped her teeth, polished them, and did floride. She was an angel, and I felt much better about my mommy skills again. (I felt like a failure at Kylie's visit.) The hygenist gave her some pink gloves, and Ari wanted me to blow it up like a balloon when we got home. She gave the other to Kylie- so sweet. And, she got a little googly eye ring and tooth-shaped sucker. The hygenist told me that it wasn't often that she could write "good patient" in a 3 year old's file! Yay!!! And, I didn't have any cavities either!!! :)
They actually did this little pose all on their own! I just said to stand close to each other! This was before their gymnastics classes tonight. Kylie is taking tumbling, and Ari is in the 4 year old class. :)
