We started Valentine’s Day off right with extra sugary donuts and a couple little gifts. I didn’t end up going to their classrooms this year- they had several snow days right before Valentine’s Day, and a 2 hour delay on Valentine’s Day, and everything was just a little chaotic. But Max’s classroom treats (and the box Read More
Valentine’s Day
Endless Winter
I apologize for my lapse in blogging. Honestly, life has been pretty boring lately: a constant parade of late starts and snow days (our 11th snow day is today😑). Most of our time has been spent playing in the snow, keeping warm inside, or trying to find creative ways to keep the four hooligans entertained. Although it’s starting to Read More
Friday Favorites
Favorite picture: Last Friday the kids had to dress up as a story book character. The school let us know this one day in advance(🙄), but I didn’t think we did too bad in our short time frame. How well do you know your children’s books (and how well can you decipher my homemade costumes)- can you Read More
Winter Walk
Saturday was a balmy 38 degrees. We decided to take a little hike through the woods behind our house to the creepy old playground/park area hidden back there. The snow was heavy and wet, the air felt warm, I lost my sunglasses (thankfully Ben found them yesterday since most of the snow had melted), Read More
Crazy Cold Week
Last week brought some record breaking cold temperatures. The kids only went to school on Friday, and it was too cold to play outside. So, what did we do? As I mentioned before, we had kids bible hour at church each night. Ben’s cousin came to visit and had lessons about Jonah. One night even included Read More

What’s Up Wednesday
What we’re eating this week: M-Soup T-Pasta W-Tacos Th-More soup F-Pork tenderloin S-Pizza What I’m reminiscing about: A day when there was warmth and we didn’t need 68 layers just to step out the door and not get frostbite. What I’m loving: My new sofas. They are so squishy and comfy and cozy and perfect for snuggling up on Read More

Favorite picture: Would Claire have been allowed to put her feet on the dinner table while we laughed and took a picture? Nope. The 4th kid rules the roost. Favorite kid quote: Max- “I just tooted and it smells like rotten potatoes and socks”. 🙄🙊 Favorite clothing item: I got these leggings at Target, but can’t find Read More
37
Somehow I have gone around the sun 37 times. These four little people were so incredibly excited about my birthday. Grace kept asking me all day, “Mom, are you so excited that it’s your birthday?! I think I’m more excited than you!” She made and wrapped presents for me all day long and just couldn’t wait to Read More
