Wonderful Weather!


IMAG0448





IMAG0447


We just had a great time outside! The weather is finally nice enough to play outside without freezing! The boys took a bike ride and also splashed in some really awesome snow puddles! Unfortunately, the splashing pictures that I took were accidentally deleted from my camera before they finished uploading. I am so sad because I had some really good ones of the boys splashing. grrrrr!
Nevertheless, a wonderful afternoon.

Why do we save pennies?

I was talking with Parker several months ago about money. He had found some change and I told him to put it in his piggy bank. He asked me what we were going to do with all thys money. I explained to him that he could save it up and but something special. He thought for awhile anda all on his own decided that he wanted to save up anda but an airplane ride! Sooo, we have been giving the boys change to save up. I hope this summer we will be able to fly somewhere. Anyway, tonight Parjer sae a cruise ship on tv. He was very impressed by all the fun things you can do in a boat. Soooo, I'm thinking....as a soon as we get to take an airplane ride, we're going to start saving our pennies again for a boat ride.
It's fun being a parent and helping your babies dreams come true.

Talking with Chandler

Talking with Chandler

Writing down things my kids say so I can tell them when they are older.

Feeding dogs treats in the living room...
Chandler~ mom, can I give the dogs more treats?
Mom~no, not right now
Chandler ~ why not?
Mom ~ because dog treats are like dog candy so we don't want them to have to much.
Chandler~ oh. (thinks a bit) Mom, can I have some "people" candy?

Talking with Parker

Playing the batman lego game after bath with daddy...
Parker~ thank you for letting me stay up so early (8:00, but he didn't have to go straight to sleep after bath.)

Talking with Parker

Sometimes I like to write down what my kids say so I can remember to tell them about it when they are older....

Here is what Parker has said lately...

At the table last night....(background: Shaun has recently grown a goat T)
Parker- Daddy, why do you have fur on your face?
Daddy - Well, I just let it grow, why?
Parker - Well only old men are supposed to have fur on their face.
Daddy - Well Parker, your daddy is old
Parker - oh

Picking boys up at Nanny's house...
Parker - Mom, we need to get tissues in Nanny's car
Mom- why?
Parker - Because I pick my boogers

Previously in nanny's car...
Parker - Nanny do you have a tissue
Nanny - No, why are you ok?
Parker - I picked a booger
Nanny - Hang on, I'll find something
Parker - Well nanny, I can put it back if I need to.

At Lonestar eating dinner...
Chandler - aaaaaacccchhhhhhhooooo
Parker - EWWWWW Chandler! You Bleshood all over me!

Again...at Lonestar...
Waitress - Macaroni and cheese?
Parker - I had the macaroni and cheese.
Waitress - Here you go
Parker - (trying to take a bite with his ginormous spoon) I need a different spoon, I can't fit this in me.

Valenitnes

What better thing to do while you stuck in the house than Valentines! I told Parker he could do a few at a time...but he could not help himself! He did them all! At first he wondered if he could just call himself "Smith". That way it would be shorter to write than Parker. He cracks me up. He really liked getting them all done though. Afterward he asked me for one more sucker. I told him we didn't have any more except the broken one in the kitchen but he had some extras already make that he could give to his next door friends...I thought that is why he was asking. He ran off into the office and came out a second later with this...


How precious it that?....I love how sweet he is. He used the broken sucker and told us that because it was already broken me and daddy could share it.

OKLAHOMA SNOW!!

My sidewalk is filled with 15 inches of snow and it is still falling strong!
Emergency vehicles are all in 4 wheel drive vehicles now. We just heard one of them picked up a stranded Dr. who was headed to the hospital to deliver a baby! YIKES!!
I just let the boys step onto the porch to see it all. They only made it a couple seconds. We will bundled up better later today and try to play at least a little!




Now it is a few hours later and I have more snow!!! This is measured in the same spot as the one above.19 inches!!


And this is my porch!!! 22 inches!


And one last thing! My 4 year old opened the door in the garage and...
