Do as I'm Doing: February 2015

Snow day

I LOVE snow days. Maybe more than my kids love them. I let everyone play games and watch T.V. until around 9:00. Then I start making them do a list that I have made up for them. They all complain about it, but I know that they secretly like it.

I make them do different things each time, but some typical things are: reading, playing with a sibling, bathing, cleaning chores,practicing a talent.

Everyone stopped their list for a moment to make sugar cookies. Sugar cookies are a lot of fun to make, and I always want to do them more than I do. I normally make chocolate chip because they are my favorite.

This was the very first day, Andrew stood. I didn't quite get a picture of it but believe me he let go of the tub and just stood there for at least 5 seconds several times. Moments like these make me so thankful that I am blessed enough to be a stay at home mom and see these important mile stones.

Family Night 2/2/15

Greg taught a lesson on the Plan of Happiness and the movie Groundhogs Day sort of all mixed together. I love the movie Groundhogs Day. It has so much meaning. Later that night, Greg and I stayed up to watch it.

Andrew had a hard time paying attention. He went of to explore.

Simon Says was our game.

Ice cream sandwiches was dessert. Yum. ( we all had two)

Family Night 1/26/2015

It has been two weeks since this Family Night. So I can't even remember what Greg is acting out.

This picture brings happiness to my heart. Now if we could only harmonize.

We had an opening song, and a lesson. I can't remember on what.

Then we played charades again.

Jello Jigglers for dessert

100 day of school

For the 100th day of school, everyone dressed up like they were 100 years old.

I hurried up to get everyone ready. And I had them outside waiting for the bus. Then the neighbor called out to them that school was on a delay! Snap! In Kentucky, school sometimes gets cancelled even if there is only 1/10 of an inch of snow on the ground. I hadn't even thought to check.
