Snow!!! (Well, a little bit...)

The kids are finally all better!! Aside from a little bit of snot and coughs. But way better than they were last week with everything. The stool samples for Reid all came back negative, so we have no idea what they had. A virus maybe?

Miles had been quite fussy for a few days and I was worried that he was getting more sickness... then I thought about feeling in his mouth and sure enough his top two molars had poked through! These are his last two baby teeth to come in, so we are almost done with teething completely. Woo!

 We woke up Tuesday morning with a light dusting of snow! The kids were so excited. Ruby had a 2 hour delay for school so we got to enjoy it a little bit.

 The kids got on snow gear when it was still dark outside. :) I made them stay in the side yard because we've seen wild animals out back when we get snow, namely a bobcat and a coyote. Yikes!

 Waffle breakfast! We sure love our waffles.

 So pretty out!

 The big kids got snow gear on again and went out to play with the neighbor girls. Miles looked on but I could tell he wanted to be outside too...

 ...so we found him some snow things and out we went! He loved it!

 Snowball time. It all melted in a few hours and Ruby went to school.

 The boys and I went to Target. This is how Miles ends up sometimes with his legs. Hah!

 It's not so easy to eat with box hands.

 They made a restaurant/shoe store called Shoe and Chew. Haha! They made Andy and I both shop there. :)

 Andy was dragging Reid and Miles wanted to do it too. But he didn't know to lay down, it was funny to see him figure it out.

 Reid and I built this symmetrical track. He said it was a guy with a backpack on.

 We took Reid to the doctor on Wednesday. Poor guy, he missed the whole week of school. Thankfully by Thursday he started getting better.

 Play dough time! Then Miles started eating it, of course.

 He loves playing with the little Duplo animals, it's so cute.

 We found Jeapordy on Netflix so we watched it and Ruby was pretty confused. So I made our own Jeapordy game for her so she would understand it better. She loved it!

 She made this for Reid. <3

 Snuggly boys playing "Lost babies." Except Reid always says "My mommy and daddy died with cancer."

 He loves building Lego creations. He says he never wants to take this one apart.

 We got some more flakes coming down over the weekend! They predicted a Snowpocalypse, so the boys and I got groceries on Friday. The line at Winco went all the way through the back of the store! But then none of the snow stuck. Haha!

 Enjoying a few flakes.

 Saturday during Miles's nap we made some Valentine's cookies.

 It was way fun.

 :)

 We made regular sugar cookie dough then put chocolate in some and red food coloring in some, then I made chocolate ganache to stick them together and decorate them.

 They were so cute!

 And delicious! We had lots of fun.

After Miles's nap we went up to the hills to find some snow.

 This is up by the big cemetery.

 It was SO cold! So we didn't stay out long.

 On Sunday our church got cancelled because they got a lot more snow on the East side of the city. So we went to our friends' church down in Beaverton. And then we went down to the Pullens' house for dinner. Ruby loved helping with the puzzle.

 Then the kids all played hide and seek for a long time, and this was Miles's favorite place to hide.

 He does this frequently!

 On Monday the big kids finally both went to school. I put a lot of toys in this box to clean them up, but then Miles just climbed in the box to play with them. Haha!

 We ate tacos for dinner and had tomatoes left over, which Miles then climbed in a chair and immediately devoured. He loves tomatoes!

Ruby fell asleep in our bed, she's so sweet. <3
