My Super Kids!

Happy Valentine's Day

My little bit of Valentine's day decor =)

I made the kids Valentine's again this year.

For Hannah we used Bubbles with the saying

"Blowing Valentine Kisses your way"

For Sam we did crazy straws with the saying

"From one crazy kid to another"

And for the teachers

"Bee Mine"

With Burts Bee lip balm
oh crap - forgot to take a pic!

Wed night we made our special treats for the kids V-day party at school

typical sam

And then Sam wanted to put hearts all over the kitchen - so we did!

I gave Mark some nuts
"I'm nuts about you Valentine"

When I made the kids lunch I used the heart shape for the Watermelon and cheese - haha

I filled their Valentine buckets with new super hero capes, toothbrushes, stickers, and some candy

and of course a balloon!

Their fav thing was the balloon!

They even took them in the bath tub - LOL!

Their school mailed out valentines to the parents and these were the pics

Oh yeah and we woke up to more snow!

This is probably the 5th snow we got like this so far - about an inch 

and its gone within 24 hours

Hope you had a great Valentine's day!

I did =)

Random Thoughts

All the things I have been meaning to say but forgot!

* Sam loves math - he is always telling me that 2 + 3 =5 or 4+4 = 8. He also likes to count by 2’s.

* Hannah loves Choo-choo soul – she has zero interest in TV but when Choo choo soul comes on she runs into the room to watch (it’s a short program, maybe 3-4 mins long where a girl sings a song). Choo-Choo!!!

* Sam likes to do experiments – our latest was put some milk in a bowl – add a small chip – does it float or sink? Floats! Add some yogurt to make the chip sink – yep, that worked! Add some sprinkles – do they sink or float? Sink! Now let’s mix it all up and have a test – what does it taste like? A little salty but good!

* Hannah is a hoarder. She likes to pick up 5-10 objects and just carry them around, aimlessly –her latest collection? Sam’s underwear!

* Sam is very particular about his coloring - he will ask you to color with him but if you color the tiger purple and blue (what? I like those colors!) watch out! He will yell at you for doing it wrong! No mommy! That’s wrong! Tigers are black and orange!

* Hannah has entered the terrible 2’s. Sam started at 18 months so I guess we got lucky with Hannah – but boy can she throw a good tantrum!

* Sam loves for me to record him on video singing songs or doing experiments and then he wants to watch them – one of these days I will post some!

* Hannah is liking the bath again – not sure I ever posted about that one but one day she freaked out in the tub – we do baths every other day in the winter and I just washed her really quick while she screamed bloody murder. Sam and I would entice her with bubbles which she loved from OUTSIDE the tub but once in, no go! We kept on trying and exactly 3 weeks later I put her in a tub full of bubbles and held on to her waist. It was quiet and Sam said “mommy! She isn't crying!” Hallelujah!

* Zac moved out right after Christmas so the house has been extra quiet. For a few weeks Sam kept asking when Zac would be home from work – I don’t think he understood that he moved out…for good. He is enjoying his new found freedom and his 2nd year at Penn State!

The Blizzard missed us but we got snow!

Man!  I was soooo hoping that blizzard would move south....I just want one good snow storm...is that too  much to ask?  We did wake up to a nice snowfall - almost 4 inches.  Sam was sooo excited (and therefore Hannah was too) so after breakfast we went out in the snow!

Sam made a great snow angel!

Hannah doesn't like her snow boots - at least that is what I think is wrong - she kept falling in them, I guess since they are heavy

Trying to get a pic of the kids....no luck

Thank goodness for snow blowers!

Hannah was happy while I held her and she held a cup of snow =)

Smoothie

Sam wanted to make a smoothie - we didn't really have any fruit to make one but Sam said we could use apples, bananas, and grapes

Yes, I know the kids don't look like they like it but they did - and I actually thought it was pretty good too!

Weekend Happenings

Another weekend flew by...man where does time go these days!

Josh was up for the weekend and Sam helped him make some chocolate covered pretzels - yum!

Hannah found my eye liner

I was trying to get a pic of Hannah for her birthday invite but this was all I got....

Sunday we were all getting antsy so I took the kids to the Please Touch Museum for a little fun!
