SNOW

The snow won't stop. Every tiny little snowflake that falls and gently lands on the already 3' on the ground is making me more and more insane. So I decided to take pictures of these happy faces. 

Maddy lost her fourth tooth this morning! ...Well actually the dentist extracted it. :/ She took a face plant into PE yesterday and caused a few bumps and bruises and a loose tooth. (Amazingly you can't even see the bruises with these pictures. I think I may have a magical camera. Haha) She was so brave though and let the dentist do his work.

Then it was off to Reed's pedi for his missed vaccines. Nope. 101.7 fever and a bad ear infection. Another round of antibiotics it is. 

Can winter be over now?

Their Favorite Things

Maddy's:

The TV show Nanny 911

Elsa

Pretending to be a teacher

Nail polish

Reed:

Food. Hands down food.

His sister's jokes.

His babysitter's cat, Puff.

Going though cabinets.

Maddy told me this was the new style....

I'm in trouble. She will never be allowed to leave this house.

When will it stop snowing???

Juno - The Blizzard of '15

These Kids

Crack me up. I love watching House Hunters with Maddy and discussing our favorite things in a house. I love how Reed kisses my face. I adore how much they love each other. (Even though I'm sure the fighting will be begin when they are older.) I love them. 

RSV

It has been a LONG weekend. Reed came down with RSV and then an ear infection. Here is a picture of  our sick guy.

The Barbie Ride

Maddy told me that the Barbies are at a carnival.

Big Sister Glimpses

This is called.... GET OUT of my ball pit!

WHY??

I love my kids more than life. Literally. BUT, there are some things they do that make me want to jump out the mommy window.

1. Whining. Incessant, constant, nails on the chalkboard whining.
2. Asking why. 750 times a day. "Mom, what is that?" -a building "Why?" -because it is a building.
3. Screaming everything they say. "MOOOOOMMMMAA" "WAAAAAAAA"

I also try to continuously change my point of view, in order to see the beauty in things. Sometimes it works.

1. It never works for whining.
2. Asking why is very inquisitive. She will learn great things by asking why. Why, yes... that over their is a cat and why? BECAUSE IT IS A CAT.
3. Oh sweeties, you must really need to tell me something. Let's play a game, I am the mom and I am not deaf.

It's times like these that I just turn up the music and try and dance with them. I figure their memory will be of us dancing... not of me shuddering in the corner because I can't answer one more why question.

We have had such a crazy few weeks I have barely posted. We've turned one, celebrated Christmas, rang in the New Year, and ate so much we couldn't move. Here are the pictures I have left out.
