Our themes of February: Snow and sickness

For the week of February 19-25

The kids have been sick over and over! It's mostly either fevers or diarrhea. This week Miles got puking with the diarrhea though. :( It's just never ending.

Just in the past week or two Miles has started stringing lots of words together. It's SO cute! Just today he said, "Mommy look hat!" And he says "Mine" and "yours" too. He loves to sing songs which is adorable. His favorites are Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Jesus Loves Me, and Down By the Bay. He also counted pretty much from 3-15 yesterday. He definitely skipped some numbers and 13, 14, and 15 all sounded the same, but still!

 Andy got this picture of some Mommy/Miles snuggles. <3

 I decided to give the boys a bath during the day and this is what happened... Hahaha

 They got over it and ended up having fun.

 The heater was blowing his hair!

 We loved having Olaf the bunny here and loved feeding him lettuce...

 ...and celery.

 Ruby got fun hair for the day.

 She found my old 8th grade graduation dress way back in my closet and wanted to try it on. Since then she has been wearing the jacket thing a lot. Hah!

 After school one day it was nice out, so Ruby and all of the neighborhood girls did some yard work.

 Daddy's exercise.

 Oh Reid...

 Reid woke up with a fever on Friday. So he stayed home from school. We bundled up for a cold walk.

 We think he had the flu, he had a fever and coughing. It got up to 103 on Saturday! Thankfully Ibuprofen brought it down. Poor guy. No one else got it though, thankfully. We all got a flu shot this year, so I think that's why it was mild-ish.

 Ruby and I went out to run errands and buy some lipstick. :)

 I got this necklace in the mail for my early Mother's Day gift. It's got a milk bead made from my milk and our kids' initials. I love it. It actually made me cry a little bit when I opened it.

 Apple/carrot sailboat for lunch.

 They love making a trampoline slide.

 We woke up Monday to some snow! The kids were again so excited.

 Reid was feeling a little better, so we all bundled up and went out to play.

 Andy was working in our bedroom so we threw some snowballs at him.

 We built this snowman, which got super dirty because our yard is about half dirt and pine needles. It was still fun. Shortly afterward she got destroyed, of course.

 Then we went over to the neighbor's house to use her snow (she's a single lady). Ruby and Miles made some cute snow angels. Reid had gone inside because he got cold.

 Then we made a snowman with the neighbors.

 The kids got to sled a few times across the street! This is Ruby and Aylah.

 This is Reid and Brayden.

During baby's nap we built a fort with a train track around it. It ended up being a fun snow day!
