We're almost there!

It's almost Spring I can just feel it! Well, except on every other morning when I wake up to new snow. It seems like if I let the blog go for over 2 weeks then I just fall into a slump and it's hard to get back without a huge picture overload post. So here you go:

A Fish and Game officer came to Matthew's preschool to teach them about wildlife. Matthew thought that was pretty cool. He gave the kids bug stick-on tattoos. Matthew thought it was cool until Curt put it on him. He told us it was creepy to have a bug stuck to his arm! Matthew loves preschool more than ever and now has a little best friend, Devin. It's his first best friend that's NOT a girl, so I thought I'd mention it here!! When I asked him if I was still his best friend he told me "No, you are a girl." :)

Snooping on Hailey's social life...

She didn't think I needed to hear this conversation!

I've been busy crafting because I went a long time without it! This picture only shows about 1/3 of the bows I made. I figured she had more than enough bows so then I moved on to different things like letter blocks, KNITTING (yup I'm learning a new skill thanks to Make it and Love it!), and baby booking (she's over a year and I don't have her book done! what?!).

Matthew was not a happy bow model. HAHA

Poor kid got the flu, but he still found the energy to shoot webs along with Spiderman!

Hailey's personality is getting more vibrant every day. She now can say forms of ball, pretty, outside, bottle, binky, and moo along with mama, daddy, hi and no (as long as she's in the mood to perform).

trying to share.

I made over a dozen new bows and then she decided she wants to pull them all out. Over a year of her life she did not care. NOW she cares?! Just after I won a sweet give away from a boutique and got a couple of adorable new bows and a beanie?! GIRL!

Other new TRICKS include asking for her bottle, taking a little sip, and then proceeding to drip it on the floor while giggling.

and getting into everything she SHOULDN'T (ok, that one's not new.)

I love being a mommy. I'm so lucky Curt lets me stay home with these little farts! I love them to pieces!

Feeling Good

Sometimes I get feeling depressed as the winter drags on, but all I have to do is step back a little and realize how good I've got it and how much love I have for my family and I cheer right up!

These two know exactly how to frustrate me the most one second, and then melt my heart the very next.

Yesterday Matthew's preschool teacher told me after lunch he went up to the cook and told her, "My pizza was very very very INTERESTING."

He's so funny!

Hailey's first real word other than mommy and daddy is "HI," which fits just perfectly I think. She also like to point at everything and say "da" which I think means "that" and waits for a description of what it is.

In like a LION

Although March's weather has begun fairly nice, things at our place have been more lionish than lamb.

We fight a lot of crime.

Whether it be as batman or Very Bright Man, it does not matter. (Somehow we've lost the new superhero cape I made. That's ok. Matthew makes do with an old nursing cover!)

Hailey conquered the couch. Believe me. She is queen of it.

This picture makes me think of Napoleon Dynamite. "where's your locker?" And she does drink whole, by the way. She doesn't think she's fat.

Matthew has got some amazing skills.

And he proudly displays them.

He's become a pretty good architect too.

I hope March stays warm for a while and melts the snow away. We are going a little crazy here. Or maybe that's just me. But then again, I've always been a little (plus or minus) crazy!!!
