The boys got new shoes last week…
They liked them…but Baby loved them! and insisted on trying them all on and running around the house saying “FAST!”
She’s since put them on just about every single day…
She’s a mess. and I love her!
Happy Friday!

Cabin fever
By Sunday morning, we were all ready to get out of the house! We decided to venture out to Starbucks and were glad to have a place to go!
You should definitely get cake pops for breakfast when you venture out in the 20 degree weather early in the morning!
That afternoon we even went down to the frozen playground. The kids had fun and we all got a kick out of throwing rocks into the frozen creek and trying to break the ice!
Thankfully no one fell in!
By Monday it was starting to melt away and while Spencer and Samantha still didn’t have school, Maxwell just had a delayed start until 11:00am. Hard to believe one week later we were outside in short sleeves! Crazy AL weather!
Ice Ice Baby
What a BEAUTIFUL long weekend we just had – sunny and 72 degrees in January! Even crazier is that we were covered in ice one week ago! Yep, last Friday the kids didn’t have school because of the impending winter weather. Now, nothing started falling until Friday night but when it started, it stuck! We woke up Saturday morning to 16 degree temps and everything covered in ice. Unfortunately it was just ice – no snow at all – so not a lot of fun for the kids. That didn’t stop them from wanting to get out and at least try to play in it…
It was bitterly cold. I think it was in the low 20s when we were out there playing. I used to live in NYC and could handle some majorly cold weather but I guess my bones are too Southern now because it was almost more than I could stand! It didn’t seem to bother the boys at all…they stayed out there forever trying to dig holes in the ice!
I love these pics of Spence…
and I really love this picture of Maxwell. If you zoom in you can even see his breath in the sunshine…
All in all the ice was fun, not as much fun as snow but we’ll take it. Of course, my favorite part was definitely this….
The first day of ice was fun…by the second day we were all going a little stir crazy! More to come tomorrow…
Brrrrrrr!
Blues
We wore our Sunday blues yesterday…
but we don’t have a case of the Monday blues because we’ve got the day off! Woohoo!
Well, 4 of us do. Robert has to work. Booooo.
Enjoy the day off if you’ve got it!
