My Valentine's

Linc wanted breakfast cupcakes for Valentines - complete with a candle! Too bad the candle melted in the hot muffin. Carter wanted the special red gel for school - his teacher said when she saw him from across the room she thought he was bleeding! His party went great - kind of like being a home room mom! We played musical chairs, moved candy hearts with chopsticks and decorated cookies - the kids had a great time & were hyped up on sugar by the time they headed home. Our little valentines got some Ninjago legos for Valentine's day - nothing says love like a little lego race which I lost - damn things, one wrong move can ruin the whole thing but I must say being a mom of boys has given me the will to try!

All About Me!

Carter had his turn at All About Me this week. He was pretty excited to get to do his poster which he shared with his class - one little girl told me yesterday at the party "I really liked Carter's All About Me poster" I'm not certain but she might have been the one who in Carter's words was "in love with me but I'm not in love with her" at the beginning of the year!

Snow!

We got some snow - everyone in this house said (whined really - well the little people at least) "we aren't going to get any snow this year" and I kept saying we would the first week in February like the last two years - well I was a week off but we got some snow although it was weaker than expected! I was a bit disappointed I was certain we'd have a snow day and could lounge but instead it was all melted before school was even out! So only the small fry got to play in it!

Going to the Lodge

The Great Wolf Lodge (you know you hear the music now too!).

We went this weekend and met our friends Brenda, Jeff & Bailey. Lots of fun in the water & good to see the Kadlecs! I was so tired from the adventure that I fell asleep sitting up watching the Grammy's on Sunday night. The boys were big enough to go down the water slides with us which was more exciting for us than them - they were perfectly happy with the wave pool. I for one look forward to the day we all go on the slides over and over!

No one loves a sleeping boy (I'm refraining from saying baby) picture as much as I do! Plus, more camera play until Sean freaked out that I was taking too many pics!

He Got It! Woo-hoo

Go Clones!

Cyclone basketball has been thrilling lately! We got to go to see them play OU last weekend - we wish it had been a little less thrilling (as in down to the end!). Big boys - as in Sean & Carter could watch basketball all day long, Linc was more interested in snacks & squirming around! They play OSU tonight in Stillwater so I dressed the boys in ISU gear today & sent them with "Go Clones" and "I (heart) ISU" Sharpie tattoos for their OSU loving teachers today! But I did stop at the red hair gel they wore to Norman last weekend!

More camera testing - "I'm sexy and I know it"

Little Stuff takes off

Linc decided he'd take the training wheels off the little bike (yep, by himself, my little Manny) & took off! Seriously first go across the lawn - all the way. He hasn't had much practice since, Sean told him when he could ride all the way to the stop sign he'd take them off his big bike and he thought that drive was a bit scarier! He did great until he went down the hill at a rapid pace into a neighbors front yard. Go L! Ignore my pictures, I mean you get the idea but I was trying out settings and clearly picked a bad one for this monumental event!

More B-ball

Crossings half time devotional

L watching the game?
