We had plenty of snow this winter, and February was no exception. The kids loved playing out in it, if only it wasn't so cold. We had so many cold cold days, that playing out in the snow for longer than 15 minutes was out of the question. That ends up being an hour ordeal by the time you get them both dressed and out the door and then back in and undressed and in dry clothes!!
A sign it was finally melting when the icicles started thawing. This is the 1st year we have had them, and I'm sure it was due to the fact that we still had our Christmas icicle lights up, in which helped form them. Mason wanted to have them all.. but I did let him have one :)
Mason had a school Valentine party this year. And while the traditional valentines are fun, I thought why not make our own! So I cut out some hearts, Mason stamped different stamps on them, he wrote his name over 20 times, taped the m&m's to the hearts.. and then I made two bigger ones for the teacher and his 'grandma' that helps out in the room. He had fun making them.
The beginning of March, we met three other families for a weekend of swimming and a museum and just hanging out with friends. Mallory loved the children's museum in Iowa City.. I think she would have spent all day there if I'd of had the patience to sit and watch her play for hours and hours!!!!
Our hotel was in the Amana's and they had two big waterslides that Mason absolutely loved. I thought for sure he would be scared, as they were tunnel shaped, enclosed, and not much light.. but he came out at the bottom beaming every time, and climbed the stairs to do it again. He even got his daddy to go down them a couple times.. but not me!!!
The kids really like to help me bake. I know I should have more patience and let them help me more, but most of the time, I just want to get it done and clean up. I am getting better however
Can you tell what part he likes best?!?! Like Mother like son!!!!
Its a sad sad day when I put on size 6 jammies on Mason, and they are too small :( Really, where did my toe headed footed jammie wearing cuddle bug go?!?! He's getting taller, and I'm not quite ready for that
Mallory loves to 'read' now.. and Magic school bus is one of our favorite books/movies/shows. I'm glad they enjoy books/movies that are educational along with entertaining... Mallory is about the same age in this picture as Mason was in the above picture in his sweat suit sitting in the recliner ( They look a little alike, but still quite a bit different )
