Happy Valentines Day!

A day late :)

Preparing for hearts day

Our sweet friend Kim took valentines day pictures for us a few weeks ago. Aren't they the sweetest!?!

Kim is great! She always gets something and her pictures always turn out great. I am just so amazed by her talent every single time. You can check out her website here

We decorated valentines cookies tonight.

I am pretty sure that Ellie and Annie's favorite part of the night was eating the m&ms and chocolate chips...but hey it's only valentines once a year right!?

Here are some pictures from our night...

Snow day!!!

We have waited all week and we finally got our snow.

Hooray!

Yesterday we got to our safe place around 230 and waited and waited. Then FINALLY around 745 it started. It looked like a blizzard. We were all so excited we ran out and had a snow party.  It was the perfect snow....wet enough for snow balls and snowmen and didn't last too long to get you stir crazy. 

 Now I just need to get it across to God that I have had my feel of winter weather. It was fun and I had fun but now I'm over it and ready for spring :)

A visit to Mcwane

It had been before Christmas since we went to Mcwane and I have been telling Ellie that we would go so we took a trip downtown on Monday.

It was a quiet day there and besides one or two small field trips the girls pretty much had it to themselves.

Their new favorite thing is the "hurricane" that feels like its going to blow you away.

Here are pictures from it...

Miss Annie has really taken a liking for the Mcwane center.

It's so crazy to me but she remembered things that were there last time we went and not there now.

She kept holding her arm out saying " oh...choo-choo...mama?"

No snow day

Since we all thought we were going to be snowed in and we weren't....

We just acted like we were.

We stayed home all day...

Ordered pizza...

And played with cousins...

River loves to play " tie me to this chair and see how fast I can get out game"

And boy is he fast! I thought I had him good today and he was out before I sat down on the couch...

To tell or not to tell

With all this talk of snow tonight it has me contemplating if I should tell Ellie or not.

She gets just beside herself with the talk of snow and with this crazy alabama weather I feel like it could really go either way...

She was so disappointed last week when we had flurries and no accumulation.

She kept wanting to put her snow clothes on so she could go out. I think she thought if she put her snow clothes on then the snow would just appear :)

It is no wonder tome that she is like she is because her daddy is the exact same was about winter weather :)
