wordless wednesday: indoor waterpark weekend

Valentine rewind...

Whew...what a busy week! I thought I'd share a few picts from Valentine's Day and maybe this weekend I can get back up to speed with my blogging. I had good intentions for February, really.

Here is Maddy at her school party, looking all Valentiney and all...


Here's Mads loving on her little brother.


Ben, checking out his goods from his party. (He has a bit of a red pop mustache...so cute)


The cups I decorated for my 5 little valentines:


David's valentine: me! (and the shirt)

Wordless Wednesday: Extreme Makeover 4 year old self-haircut edition

(I guess that wasn't really "wordless" was it?)

Quotes of the day...

Luke: Daddy, if you want to get rid of your sickness, all you need to do is lay in front of the t.v. and drink sprite.

Ben: Dad, isn't that what you do every day?


While David was snuggling Maddy before bed tonight:

Maddy: Daddy, if I could give you a Valentine heart candy, it would say "My man rocks!", or it would say "mom-slash-dad rules!"

10 and 11 : these days are flying by!

I can't believe tomorrow is Thursday. Tuesday and today went so fast, I feel I have hardly had time to think. I guess this is a good thing, it means February will soon be behind us! Tuesday was a gorgeous day, 60 degrees, like a spring preview. A little reminder of the warmth of spring and what we have to look forward to. The yard is a mucky mess, so I took the littles out to play, instructing them to stay out of the grass and mud. They were so good, and had so much fun playing and soaking up the sun and fresh air. Gabe was especially cute. He "mowed" the sidewalk with his toy lawn mower for at least 20 minutes. Another 20 was spent going down his little slide over and over. Maddy and Luke played on their scooters and with chalk. Ben played basketball with his neighbor friend and I tried to take in all the fresh smells, bird songs and sunshine that I could! Oh Spring, please come soon!

8 and 9: a new floor for...

a really fun game of Ring Around the Rosies.

7: glorious fresh air

fresh air that is somewhat warm!!

Look mom, we're outside!


the girl and her dog (yes, she's in her pj's)


Luke dusted off his bike (oops, we forgot his helmet)


Mud. Yuck.
