Winter... it's so long.

 It's been a really long winter, with the cold weather and getting sick after sick. :( We're trying to make the best of it. We have hardly been able to go to church and our home community this year. I've only made it to MOPs once since Christmas. Spring can't come soon enough!

 Reid says he's feeling better... but his cough got really bad and his temperature went back up on Tuesday.

 So I took him to the doctor and they said he's okay, just to watch him. Thankfully he's been doing better since then.

 We love Marble Run, toddler version!

 Miles and I went out to run a few errands. :)

 Checking out the weather on Wednesday... school got cancelled for Ruby and Reid. It was snowing in the morning, and they don't do a delayed start on Wednesdays because it's an early release day.

 We got bundled up again and played outside with the neighbors for a while.

 I went into the bedroom and they were both big lumps inside our duvet.

 Ruby found a banana bread recipe in one of the Sesame Street books and wanted to make it! I helped, but she did most of the work and did a great job! It was yummy.

 Ruby turned our coat closet into an elevator, then the next day while she was at school, Reid wanted to make the inside buttons. So he got out orange paper, cut circles, and glued them on black paper with some gibberish words on them. Hah! Then we put it inside of the elevator and they've been playing with it ever since. I love their creativity.

 Making some play dough to take to Reid's preschool class.

 Ruby went over to Zahra's impromptu birthday party on Thursday night down the street!

And then the next morning Ruby wasn't feeling good (diarrhea) so she stayed home from school. Thankfully it only lasted for a day or so.

 Miles fell asleep on the way home from church, as usual. We all went in the family room during the service while Andy did production. After church, my left side was feeling very weak so I called my doctor who told me I should go to the ER just in case because of my previous blood clot in my eye. Thankfully they did an MRI and everything was okay. Not sure what's causing the weakness! Hopefully it will go away. Del and Patty were able to come watch the kids and Andy came in to hang out with me. Kind of like a date... haha. I was there for about 6 hours!

 On Monday Frances came over to play with Miles while the big kids were at school.

 These guys have so much fun together.

 I love it when they all play nicely together!

 We got Ruby some t-ball pants, then she accessorized. Haha! She's so cute!
