We Survived the Winter!

Well, it’s been a long one, but we made it!  Once daylight savings took effect last weekend, it feels like spring is on it’s way.  The nice weather the last few days has definitely helped as well.  Not too many notable things have happened, just keeping the kids busy!
Lovin’ their art projectsIMG_6245IMG_6249
I think he looks so old here!IMG_6254
He LOVES his Buzz Gun.  He sleeps with it every night and totes it around the house.IMG_6267
When it was super cold outside, we had to try and get a little creative with indoor activities so we didn’t all start crying – ha!  We had played grocery store a few times (we unloaded the pantry onto the dining room floor and ‘shopped’ and ‘paid the lady’ – ME – with our pretend money and cash register).  One day the kids decided to bundle up as well before doing their dining room shopping.  Pretty sure that one was Mia’s idea.  Smile

I love how her version of bundling up included a phone tucked into her hood…IMG_6522
Yes, then we had to bag all our groceriesIMG_6526
Again on the phone – but she was actually talking to either Brock or my mom.  But the reason I had to take this picture is because of all the accessories she had to wear – matching bracelet, necklace, and hair clip.  Because why wouldn’t we get all decked out to spend another day inside?!?!IMG_6528
One thing that drives me crazy is having toys and ‘stuff’ all over the house.  One day I came downstairs, and Mia had put several of her stuffed animals to bed on much of our furniture…  Notice even her dolls are decked out – flowers in her hair and a crown on her head!  It’s hard to get mad at the mess when it’s just so sweet…IMG_6529

More crowns…IMG_6533
Mia got a new headband, and Drake was equally as excited.  “Look, Mommy!” he says.  (Please don’t kill me, Brock – it was just too funny not to post.  Love you.  Smile)

Drake is totally into his ‘action figures’ these days, and that’s what he calls them.  “Mommy, look at my action figures!”  He’s also obsessed with wearing his Batman and Super Man jammies.  He loves the capes that velcro on the back.  Too funny, I guess it is the boy equivalent of dressing up.IMG_6550
Mia and her latest Tinker Toy creation.  The kids love those!IMG_6555
