The First Half of February in review AND Let It Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow (#3!!!)

February started of with one of "those" days.

Those days, 

as a family with 4 kids,

where you have to be in multiple places...

all at the same time.

The first Saturday of the month 

had 3 basketball games 

and a Pinewood Derby on the schedule!

First up was Ms. Priss' 

basketball game,

Then the boys each had a game,

but we missed those 

and 

ran to another church 

for our 

Cub Scout Pinewood Derby

Ms Priss and some scout little sisters

sat around and entertained themselves.

Mr. T was CRANKY

and whiny and being just aggravating...

I knew he was tired,

so meany mommy,

fought him to be still 

and stay in my lap

quite against his will.

He eventually quit fighting...

Our snow people were still standing...

I thought that was pretty neat.

Then daddy had school work to do,

so the kids and I vacated the premises

and went to visit friends.

That night Daddy and Lex

made her new Hello Kitty doll.

She got to stuff it,

And sew it together.

The next day was Super Bowl Sunday,

so Rico drew this for us.

Freehand!

I was quite impressed!

Then the next week we had to do a little school.

And basketball practice...

 Isn't this how every girl carries her basketball?

And we discovered books with CDs!

Then we made a trip to Cary for Papa's birthday...

Lex tested the cake for us.

Aunt Melanie got some niece and nephew time...

while the nieces were WAY more 

interested in the grapes!

Later in the week,
Lex showed daddy how well her reading 

was coming along.

He had not heard her read yet,

so he was pleasantly surprised!

The boys started cooking their own eggs!

(step #1 to them cooking dinner!)

Then we got MORE snow...

yep,

that is snow #3 

in a little ole town that usually gets hardly ANY!

We really enjoyed the icicles that came

with this snow/ice/freezing rain/sleet

episode.

I was ready for spring at this point!
