Well - Daddy's out of town. He went to Houston, Texas... Big Sigh! I wish I was there! My home town.... no fair! Well - the kids and I decided that a big fun Valentines Welcome home surprise would be fun. It was. The kids had a blast putting their hand prints all over... topped with glitter baby! Even Yoshi got in on the fun!
We set it up outside by the front door so that Daddy would be super surprised right before entering the house. It was a surprise. He LOVED it! We called the big gorilla balloon the Hillbilly Beast.

Well the weather's been great. The kids were starting to go out and play. It's still been cold - around 40 degrees, but still - no snow or rain! And then...

We had a HUGE snow storm. And that means everyone is bound the house. Time for a craft to keep the kids busy and mom sane! I thought tooth pics and marshmallows would be fun to try.

It was a hit! Peter did AWESOME. I had no idea he was so creative! He constructed a big long bridge.

I helped Jacob make a cube, but he was more interested in the tasting....

Needless to say - he was the first to finish all his marshmallows. Still - it kept him busy for a while.
Mary had a good time tasting a few too. But she spent a good time building a big long marshmallow snake. It was super cute. Hey Mary, tell you mom that your hair needs done!

Church Time
Well - Mary got her Spring dress early because I died when I saw the dresses Costco got. I had to grab one before they all got snatched. And when Mary saw it - there was no stopping her. She HAD to wear it on the very next Church day...... She felt so pretty. And Jacob was so handsome too. He wanted to wear a yellow shirt to match her twin sister! CUTE! CUTE! It's times like these that having twins makes all the challenging times worth it!
Augh! What a cute little site! Zach and Elisabeth! They are so sweet to each other. Zach loves going to church to pass the sacrament. And Elisabeth is always so sweet and loving to her big brother, Zach. It's fast Sunday - and I know that Elisabeth will be sharing her testimony. She loves to bear her testimony and share her sweet feelings with the ward. I LOVE it.
Where's Jessica and Peter, you ask? They went to church early to save the family a bench. I'm so grateful for them to be willing to do this for the family. Otherwise we'd never make it in time to get a whole bench for our family....



Well - it's been a busy week. A fun week. I've enjoyed it! I look forward to the weeks ahead. Spring time is right around the corner. And I can't wait. Lots of field trips are in store. And blooming trees and flowers are coming. And the sun is about to start shinning more often. So much to look forward to!
