Emma You're a STAR

This week at Preschool, Miss Emma Kate was the STAR Student. She was SO excited to get to bring the star bag filled with some of her favorite things to show her friends: Barbies, books, and her stuffed Ariel & Aurora! She also had a special bulletin board that showed some of her favorite things and a sweet picture of my sweet girl.
On Thursday she got to bring the estimation jar, she decided to bring Hershey's kisses to share with her friends, she had such a great week!

Happy Valentine's Day!

This year we had another lovely Family dinner on Saturday night, with barbecue chicken, twice baked potatoes and cheesy broccoli. We ate out in the dining room with our "nice" plates & cups, we even got the kids sparkling grape juice. I made a special Heart shaped cookie cake for my valentines, it was super yummy! My Sweetheart surprised me with chocolates and some pretty roses! :) Then on Sunday we went to my parents and had a Valentines celebration with the whole family. What a sweet weekend we had!

NOW this is what I call SNOW!!!

We woke up this morning to snow falling!! And I mean the REAL stuff this time~REAL LIVE snow that I can remember playing in when I was growing up back in Ohio. It snowed ALL day long, in fact I think it's still going at least a little bit! ;) The kiddos had school today, but after school I bundled them all up and we went out in the backyard to play in THE SNOW!!! They had SOO much fun! I made a snowman~yea it's not the best, but I didn't have a lot of help ;) Ben & I had a snowball fight. Ben & Emma made snow angels and went down the slide and fell into the snow, they had a blast! They also decided they might as well see what it was like being a cow~As in they laid out on their tummy's in the grass/snow and ate snow~they were COVERED in it! Miss Ginny wasn't very sure at first, but she really liked it after awhile~EXCEPT when she fell over~then she wanted Mommy to hold her(which also made the snowman building kinda hard ;) ). We all had such a fun time, and the best part is that Ben doesn't have school tomorrow! **I just read on our news webpage that today's snowfall broke the all-time record.** How COOL is that?!?! I'm SO glad that my kiddos got to see it and enjoy it! And just so ya know it is STILL snowing!!! =)
I LOVE THE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
