Snow Day - No School

So today was our first snow day of the season. Of course school was called off for the mere ½ inch of snow. The kids were excited to play outside so after breakfast we got all bundled up and headed out. We had a snowball fight and made snow angels. Then Makayla was freezing so I took her in and the other 2 stayed outside. Then the doorbell rang and D and D and their cousin M came over to play outside in the snow. They all had a good time. The good thing about the snow here is that by 2 o’clock it’s all gone. No need to shovel, it’ll melt. I don’t even think we brought our shovels when we moved here. It would be nice to have 1 snowfall where they can go on a sleigh ride but come to think of it I don’t’ we brought our sleds when we moved here either.

I'm Gonna Start A Fight

I’ve been meaning to post this since Halloween time. We are always listening to the radio or my Ipod. I didn’t realize how the kids pick up on the songs I sing so easily. When we were trick or treating this past Halloween, out of no where Taylor starts singing, “Na na na na na na na, I’m gonna start a fight!” If you don’t know, this song is from Pink called “So What”. She sang it with the straightest face. It was so funny. Now Makayla knows how to sing it too. We will be food shopping and the girls start singing, “I just lost my husband I don’t know where he went. I’m gonna drink his money I’m not gonna pay his rent, etc. “They know the whole song. It is hilarious. I’ve been trying to make a video but they seem to get camera shy. Jake and Taylor are now fighting so Na na na na na na na, I’m gonna break up a fight!

Makayla's 3rd Birthday

Makayla celebrated her 3rd birthday on January 14th. I can’t believe she is already 3 years old. It seems like yesterday she was born. We went to lunch at Chic fila and then we had a family party and she picked out a Dora The Explorer cake. She got Barbie’s diamond castle and Smores the pony. In preschool the next day they celebrated with cupcakes and a birthday crown. We are still working on using the potty which is working out for #1 put #2 seems to be harder. She is starting to be more like a little girl and less like a baby each day. Her vocabulary is always impressing us and she loves to entertain us with her singing and her booty dance. I’ll have to capture that on video. Here are some birthday pictures.
