Snow more

Guess what?  We got more snow.  Yes, two more snow days and a two hour delay.  We're talking serious cabin fever this winter... come on Spring!

And you'll probably see an increase in pictures over the next month or so.  I'm taking a photography class so I'm playing with different camera settings and compositions depending on the weekly assignment.  I'm having a great time with it, and I'm learning a ton already and it's only been two weeks.

Nathan really has fun with this reusable sticker set.

And his shadow. This boy knows how to have a good time.

Nobody has cuter post-nap bed-head than Nathan.

Well, this guy is pretty adorable too.

Mmmmm, cake pop

Pete had been studying for a certification exam (which he passed!), so Brady and I decided to get out of the house for a while.  I offered a couple indoor playgrounds or the space museum, and it was an easy decision for Brady.

We've been there so many times, but this was our first trip up to the observation tower.

It has nice views of the airport and some of the runways.

No trip to the space museum is complete without a lunch break at McDonald's. By the way, they have the largest kids meal drinks I've ever seen. Brady had sweet tea and no, he definitely did not nap that day!

We thought we'd better get outside and play while we could still see the ground. A big snow storm was on the way!

It literally takes Nathan seconds to suck down one of these packets. It's a great party trick. I try not to think about what that skill may translate to during his college years.

He's such a big boy sitting in this little chair.

Right on schedule- Thursday morning we woke to a winter wonderland!

We were able to put our new sled to good use. Daddy pulled him around all morning!

Daddy built an igloo.

And he made a luge down our driveway for sledding!

Our sweet Valentines

Nope, still not impressed.

This is unlikely to change his mind.

We made cookies for Daddy.

The boys with their Valentine's gifts

Last weekend Dad and Lyla offered to take Brady to their house for a weekend ALL BY HIMSELF!  You can probably guess that we didn't hesitate to jump on that.  We knew Brady would have a ball and get a ton of attention, and well, we could always use a break!

It turns out there was quite a bit of snow in WV too!

Brady was elated to spend time with his buddy Uncle Dustin.

At home we were thrilled to have the luxury of only one child for the weekend.  What ever should we do?  Clean?  Organize?  Find a way to achieve world peace?

We settled on attending Allie's Mardi Gras themed 3rd birthday party,

dinner at Bonefish Grill,

and painting the master bathroom! Here is the before shot.

And after. The color is a blue/green/gray- it's hard to capture it with the camera, but you get the idea.

Home again, home again, jiggity-jig

These two love to road rally (ride the toys around the loop of our house). And now Nathan can push himself!

Gotta get them lined up perfectly

Sorted by color too, you'll notice

Who knows?

Monkey see, monkey do

I tried to get Brady to read to Nathan. It was a sweet moment for five seconds until he ripped the book out of Nathan's hand. :)

Naked driving! Yessss!

Brady wrote a B for the first time at preschool yesterday! Of course he wouldn't do it at home, but Miss Caity showed me the proof.
