February

February came and went before I knew it! We were very busy with lots of playing this month!

Claire favorite "Cecil" the Seahorse is rarely out of her grasp. She showers him with kisses, head banging, and makes sure he gets his share of her sippy cup. She's the best little mommy!

Every morning when Claire wakes up, we gasp at her hair. It's becoming quite traumatic to try to comb out. I did find a special brush that is supposed to work out those tangles without tear. Let's hope so! Of course, it wouldn't be Claire without the shoes!

Who would have thought a box full of packing peanuts would be so much fun for so long. These two will play for HOURS with these things. They bury things in them, the throw them in the air, they scoop, they pile, they get them everywhere! But they also enjoy cleaning them up, so it's a worthwhile mess in my book.

This hasn't been much of a winter. No real snow to play in. No real snow at all actually. We had a few flurries so I bundled up the kids and forced them outside to see it. Only a few flakes, and no one was that interested in it. Maybe next year.

What's Valentine's Day without a huge heart sucker?

Luke has been very loving with Claire lately. When he's not chasing or pushing her, that is. He really wants her to sit on his lap. That's a bit of a challenge considering they are roughly the same size. Love them!

Claire and her peanuts.

Such a happy girl with her crayons! She's quite the artist. Definitely my right brain child. She even thinks so much of her art that she likes to put it on the walls. I am not a fan.

We finally got around to putting up some sheet metal for the magnet maze Christmas gift. The kids think it's pretty awesome!

It was "Snow Day" at school aka PAT playgroup. As much as they loved playing in it, it made me a bit sad that we didn't get to have a real winter with snowmen and snowball fights and snow angels. They missed out this year.

I guess Luke wants to be a doctor. Not going to lie, I was more than concerned about him putting a tongue depressor in Claire's mouth. 

Making Valentine's at the playgroup's Valentine's Party. Luke is crazy about glue sticks.

More Snow Day fun at school. Luke really does love going to school and really like's Ms Julie. It gives me hope for actual school!
