February Snow

We welcomed the month of February with snow. Lots of it! School was canceled for three days so we stayed inside and enjoyed lots of activities together like...

watching the snow fall,

practicing the piano,

I have a similar picture of Eli doing this. 

My heart wonders how my babies grow so quickly!

baking bread and apple muffins,

creating Sunday quite books with pictures from the Friend,

eating ice cream with sprinkles,

drinking lots of green smoothies,

painting Valentines,

and sewing projects with scrap material I've wanted to use up - a new church bag for Eli and Valentine treat bags for my visiting teachers and Eli's nursery leaders. 

Not pictured - we also did lots of shoveling.

Austin also had an accident with a spoon. It was a close call to his eyeball.

We bravely broke out of the house Friday afternoon - we don't have 4-wheel drive so I'm extra cautious when it comes to driving in the snow. Thankfully the roads weren't too bad and we went to Monkey Buzines for family night where pizza was served!

Saturday morning called for cuddling with my black-eyed baby and then playing peek-a-boo. Austin is good at this game.

We headed to Home Depot for their monthly workshop. Why spend money on entertainment when kids get a kick out of the free stuff like a shopping cart?

Sunday morning Eli came into my room at 6 a.m. saying he was ready to wake up. We cuddled for a minute and then he was out...for another hour. I was able to get ready for church before the little dudes woke up. :)

Sometimes I feel like the days are long with Aaron being gone, but when I blog, I look back at all we've done and feel extra grateful for the time I get to spend with these little guys each and every day! They're my favorite little people!
