Catch-Up

Well, it's been several weeks without anything new on here.  Life is pretty much just normal, busy with school, activities, etc.  I haven't taken many pictures since our big snow week - this is almost all the ones I have since then!

 Girls went to see "Beauty and the Beast" at the movies while the boys saw "Chipwrecked," the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie.  It was a great time had by all - even Heidi's "sleepy eyed baby" and her new Belle dress I sewed for her.  Easier then sewing one for Heidi!  Hers was a Santa gift.

 Big news - Colt finally lost his 2 front teeth.  It was huge drama, but Tom finally pulled those suckers out when Colt had pretty much stopped eating for a few days on account of his super loose teeth.  Hard to tell in the picture but I just love his expression.

 Valentines.  I could wring Colt's teacher's neck for sending home the class list in January.  He came home and went right to work.  Thankfully I had bought several boxes of valentines on super clearance last year in March.  We've since added suckers and called it done.

 Skyler had a school project over our long weekend: decorate the big white heart scrapbook style with things he loves.  We came up with a much cooler idea - since he mostly just loves Captain America.  Then in black marker he wrote on the red shield part other things he loves. 

 Tom worked late one day while I had piano students - but the kids kept really quiet.  When I was done teaching this is what I found...

 Skyler had been very busy making masks: Iron Man, Captain America, Spider man (how cute are those?)

And Colt had worked hard making valentines for all his recess buddies.  What a great way to stay busy!
