Snack time

We try and feed the kids nice healthy snacks. Their new favorite is fruit with nutella.

As you can see Sophie realluy likes it.

This entire plate was devowered in a few minutes

Snow day

Sunday we spent some time playing outside in the snow

Daddy and Brie made a nice snow man


and daddy pulled the girls around in the sled

They had a great time

But we are all ready fo it to melt and for spring to arrive.

Hopefully the 50 degree weather they are calling for this week will actually occur.

Two Little readers

The other day I got out of the shower to find this:

They were both "reading" their books

Number Three

That's right folks. There is no hiding it anymore. #3 is on the way. Brie wants a sister. Sophie is not sure. Mommy and daddy would love a son, but it will be a few more weeks before we find out if it will be a boy or a girl.

The dust is finally settled and cleaned up

We finally have our house back. After over three weeks of living in dust, cramped into two small rooms downstairs things are all put back together. We still have to get a new dinning room table and some decorations for the living room, but it is all coming together.

The hole is gone above the pocket doors, they actually work, and the trim around them looks right and not like it was just thrown up.

The dinning room is a nice bright yellow. No more dark green. It looks like a totally new room. Nice and bright.

And best of all all of the seams are hidden.

Big girl bed

This weekend with all of the illness in our house; colds, stomach bug, fevers; Sophie decided she no longer wanted to be in her crib. At About 4 am a felt a set of eyes staring at me. I thought it was Brie so I told her to go back to bed. When I actually opened my eyes it was Sophie standing by my bed. When I asked her what she was doing she said she climbed out. Luckily she did not get hurt.

The next morning it was time to take down the crib. Sophie was against it and cried. Once it was done and she and Brie played in it for about an hour all was okay. She has been sleeping in it without a problem for the last few days. I was concerned that she would not stay put as she generally talks and plays with her toys for a while before going to sleep, but she has not tried to even get out on her own.
