Enough Winter, Bring on Spring!

Well it's safe to say this blog has been severly neglected over the past few months :/ It's been a long winter for us. We've all been sick more often than not it seems, Hollie's missed 6 days of school due to snow, and we're all pretty much sick and tired of being stuck indoors staring at eachother haha! We've spent a lot of time doing crafts, watching movies, and playing in the basement. Thankfully we've had a few days of warmer weather so we were able to get out a bit last week. It was a nice break from bitterly cold temps! But sadly it was just enough to tease us, and now winter is back. We are all really looking foward to some sunshine and trips to the park :) And I've even started planning out the vegetable garden so it's safe to say we have a bad case of spring fever :)

Well as I said we've all been sick, we all took turns with the dreaded stomach virus, Dennis had some kind of upper respiratory junk that hung on for weeks, and now the kids and I all have colds. I'm hoping that we've paid our dues and can stay well for a while now!

Hollie and Mavrick started indoor soccer a few weeks ago. This is Hollie's second year, and Mav's first. They are both really enjoying it (though i doubt seriously that we have any budding soccer champs on our hands LOL) but they have fun and it has been a great way for them to get out of the house and run around with other kids.

We also enrolled Hollie in a combo dance class. Tap, Ballet, and Acrobatics. She really LOVES it and is doing really well. She is so proud of herself and spends lots of time practicing her hand-stands in the play room. Mav has learned to duck and run when he sees her with her hands in the air HAHA!

Here are a few pictures from the past few months :)


A fun treasure box craft we did on a snowy day.


Probably watching Meet the Robinsons for the 47th time.


A photo project I did on the many signs our house has ben taken over by little people :)


Finally some snow wet enough to build snowmen. We were so excited we made a whole family of SnowBlakes :p



Playing in the first big snowfall. We spent less and less time playing in the snow with each subsequent snowfall LOL. The kids didn't even ask to go out last time....thank goodness!


After the blizzard. We were lucky enough to snag the last snowblower for sale in town and it was worth every (rediculously overpriced) penny!


Drop kicks are her favorite.


The bouncy balls are his favorite :) He says "boinga boinga boinga" - too cute <3

Coming soon...
Indoor photo shoot pics of the kids, and dance class pictures :D
