He made it

February 28, 2011

With some help, Matthew made it to the top with Sissy! Of course, it makes me nervous because I am afraid they will get careless and he will fall out - I guess that's part of being a Mommy! They had a great time playing and sliding down the "big slide". I see many more days out here once the weather ever gets warm. :)

I am a big boy

February 27, 2011

We had a warmer day, so the kids headed outside! Matthew has figured out that there is more fun up these steps at the top of the swingset/play area because Sissy is there. Let's see how long it takes for him to climb it on his own..... :)

Me & my babies

February 26, 2011 I am feeling somewhat human again. We were watching tv tonight andLizzie and Matthew both came to snuggle with me. This was very specialto me because it's usually only one of them at a time or Matthew is jealous and pushes Lizzie away from me! Lizzie had just gotten out of the shower and Matthew looks like he is asleep, but he is looking at a magazine. I asked Mike to grab the camera to try to get a picture of me and my babies. :)

Flower craft

February 25, 2011

I made it out of bed today, but was still not feeling well. Mike stayed home again. We had gotten Lizzie some crafts for Valentine's day and she made these a few days ago. Of course, it's Lizzie - she had to make the vase instead of using a cup or something we already had! :)

Sick day

February 24, 2011 I was not able to take a picture today. Last night, the nasty virus that has been going around got me. I had a fever all day today and laid in bed most of the day. Mike worked from home to help take care of the kids and I am so thankful. To make it worse, today is Mike's birthday! I had planned one of his favorite meals tonight and me and Lizzie were going to make cupcakes. Not only did he have to cook for himself and the kids, he brought me soup and crackers in bed. He is the best husband in the world and takes care of me and the kids. I am very blessed. Happy Birthday, honey - sorry it was a rough day, we will make it up to you! :)

Stairs

February 23, 2011

Matthew loves going up the stairs! Now, Lizzie is trying to teach him how to come down. Mike and I want him to learn to come down on his tummy, but no, he has to do what Sissy wants! I have to admit, she did teach him to hold on to the rail every time he slides down a step. She is a great big sister. :)

Another snow day

February 22, 2011

Yes, we have snow - again! The district canceled school since the snow came overnight. It was sunny and was mostly gone in a day, but the kids enjoyed it while it lasted. They had been out playing before lunch and then Matthew took a nap. Lizzie wanted to play some by herself while I got things done inside. I looked out the window to check on her and she was sitting in the swing very still looking at birds eating at the bird feeder. I bet she sat there for 15 minutes just as still as she could be - I never knew it was possible! :)
