Phone Pics

My new puppy, Shiquita 

My favorite Kindergartener all bundled up at the bus stop.
 Lauren always blows us a few kisses from the bus every morning. I know this won't last for long so I snap lots of pics to remember. 

 The sunset was amazing a couple of weeks ago 
 Haley & Lauren set up a little classroom in our kitchen, it was so cute. 
 Lauren loves going to Staples, she has a thing for notepads and office supplies (funny thing is Ryan & I were total geeks for office supplies when we were kids too). We took Hads along on one of our Staples runs the other day and lucky her, she got a pink notepad and notebook too! 
 I love how for $1.50 I can totally make their day! 
 Lauren wrote me an apology note the other day for being mean. It says, "I love you mama. I am sorry I was mean. I won't do it again. Love Lauren" Too bad she already forgot what she wrote... 
 The neighborhood kids playing in the snow!
 Ben was loving being an only child last night when Lauren was at her "sleepover", lots of good laughs with this boy. He is currently in a really great stage, just so sweet and funny and Kevin & I are always talking about how he is just so fun to be around. Maybe he's seeming even sweeter since his big sis in such a grouchy phase... 
 I needed something to do today because I have just been going out of my mind with boredom this past week. We went to Jo Ann Fabrics and bought some fleece to make these cozy blankies. 
Both kids are in love with them and are currently all snuggled up with them! And I'm feeling satisfied that I actually did something today:) I am SOOOOO excited to get back on our routine tomorrow!

those are great pictures, Val! You are so good at capturing your kids on film. And lucky you that Lauren loves Staples rather than The Dollar Store.

Thanks Laurie! I love all your comments, it makes me happy to know others actually do read my blog:) Thanks for taking the time to do it!

New bloggity, I love it. Hads still talks about her 'school work' you bought her. You're a top notch auntie, who knows what matters:). You crack me up with those blankets. You really were bored:).
P.S. Love your little kindergartener at the busstop. Gave me goose bumps.
