SNOW Much Fun!

Today, we headed up to RoundTop for our first time tubing...what a blast! No pictures from the top b/c it was a busy time coordinating who was going with who and gearing up to race the kids down! 

A shot of the Jamaicans (Susan and Jerel) who would have made their Olympic bobsledding counterparts proud!

Tubing under the lights @ night...super fun!

Fireside chat, hot cocoa, and snacks gave them a second wind to get in another 6 runs- under the lights! (which doubled our value, as Chad said- lol!  I think we went down a total of 13 times?)

Look @ Sylvie's rosy cheeks.  Happy with the gummy snacks

Cool Dudes

 

Over A Foot of Snow!

b/c we haven't had enough of it this season, you know?!  ;p  Here's to a 5-day weekend (snow days Thurs and Fri and Presidents Day on Monday)!

Making and decorating Valentine cookies-

Cards for Mrs. Holmes' Birthday

It's Brady's kindergarten teacher's birthday on Thursday, but it's looking like Mrs. Holmes will get a snow day for her birthday!  So we made her a card tonight to bring in for an early birthday wish.  Sylvie was hilarious.  Feedback from Brady's last report card indicated that he needed to work on his writing- getting his thoughts on paper without prompting and including detail.  So I asked him to write a message in Mrs. Holmes' card.  He sat there completely blank.  It was SYLVIE who was prompting him- ha!  She goes, "Brady, it's yo-uh teach-uh! Do you love huh?"  "yes"  "Then wite dat down and say happy birthday!"  hahahahaha! 

Sylvie also made her own card for Mrs. Holmes.  Sister is SO ready for kindergarten...she had no trouble coming up with and writing this true sentence.  "Happy Birthday   Brady loves you   -Sylvie"
LOL!

Girls Just Want to Have Fun

LOVEd (pun intended) our coordination today...

and @ dance class this afternoon, little sister totally reminded me of SJP in Girls Just Want to Have Fun (rocking the school girl uniform + boots look with hip hop moves)

 Fist-pumping to "Let It Go" Does it get any better than this???

Circus!

Melissa says everyday with the twins is like a circus.  :)  Today we celebrated Colton's little brothers turning TWO with a circus-themed party at their house.  Fun for us all!
Corn dogs- yumm!

The "Sylvie/Brady face" is Most appropriate for the circus photo booth!

Everyday I'm Shufflin'

I so did not understand what Brett was talking about when he said he wanted to get a shuffleboard.  So he just ordered it...and they love it.  Who knew this old-timer's past time was all the new rage?!

Winter Olympics 2014

Opening Ceremony is tonight!  And thanks to Brady's fun 6th birthday party, we geared up!

 Sporty Spice!

She said she was like Spider-girl and could climb walls with her new gloves. ;p

Peace

Raining and Pouring and Puddling

It seems Brett was taking a few picts to document our swamp of a backyard.  I was taking a few pictures to document this four year-old cuteness.  :)

I Love the 80s!

We joined Maura and Daryl and a few other neighbors and friends and partied like it was 1988 (and we weren't 12 years old- ha!).  Tonight we took a party van and went to the Legwarmers concert.  It was totally radical!  Seriously, it was like stepping back in time.  Everyone in the place was fully decked out.  Which reminds me...when Brett saw me dressed and ready he goes, "Do you think everyone is as in to this as you are?"  We arrive at the Schauss' house and Mike answers the door.  He says, "Daryl is upstairs still getting his makeup applied."  This and the sight of Daryl (in his white leopard pants and well-done mascara), fully answered Brett's question!

Not only do I LOVE 80s music, but my hair was made for this. Brett goes, "How much hairspray is in your hair?" Um, none. Seriously.

Happy 4th Birthday Leif!

Another of Sylvie's BFFs turned 4 today and we celebrated Leif by attending his super-fun police officer birthday party.

Yup, even little kids can be hauled off to jail in this SWAT car (see the car seat?  ha!  The SWAT officer has a 2 year old son, but we all still laughed at the car seat).
