Week 8: A Photo a Day

Feb 19 to 25

TUES Feb 19: The kids make just as much noise hammering as the construction workers downstairs!  At least the workbench is getting more action since Christmas!

WED Feb 20: Time to build a fort!  There's room for everyone!  Come on in and play!

 THURS: Last week was supposed to be the bi-weekly trip to the library for Story and Song time with Mama Bear- but we missed it due to an ear infection.  So this week we made a library at home- filled with read alouds, songs and a felt board. 



 


FRI Feb 22: Celebrating Rob's 25th birthday at Brewski's 






SAT: After baby sitting the kids, mom K and Shanny slept over and we went to the Milwaukee Domes- for a special model railroading expo and train ride as well as to look at the beautiful plants and pretend it wasn't freezing outside. 



SUN Feb 24: Here we are at church!  So maybe I shouldn't have been snapping pictures during the sermon, BUT I had to document how well behaved our kids are during church.  They are complimented all the time.  The kids "sing" and fold hands to pray, as well as play quietly and eat snack during the sermon!  They make us very proud!


 MON Feb 25: Playtime is the best!  Here we are crossing off another item off the toddler bucket list: 101 Things to Do with your toddler!  

 

A Photo a Day: Week 7

Feb 12 to 18

TUES Feb 12: We found one of Moira's stocking stuffers from Christmas.  It is a thin cardboard cake that comes with stickers to decorate and smell like cake!  She loved it!  It was very tasty!

WED Feb 13: We're getting ready for Valentine's day!  Moira is making her first homemade card for her daddy!  Heart paper, tissue paper and glue sticks!  This kid couldn't be happier!

THURS Feb 14: Well, Valentine's Plan B was in affect.  Moira had a fever and a big dinner was the last thing on our mind after our little girl had her first ear infection!  So the steak marinated a little longer and we made heart shaped pancakes and exchanged cards!  The stickers made her feel a little better!



 


FRI Feb 15: Moira continues to amaze us with her continued ability to try new things.  This is her first drawing!  She loves to create!  

SAT Feb 16: Saturday turned into quite a busy day.  Ken got a haircut, I went grocery shopping.  We began to clear the basement (more on that below) and then we had the Wilde's {Melissa is Ken's colleague and her husband} over for dinner and games.  Check out my stud muffin below!

SUN Feb 17: Girls Day Out at the bingo hall!  Aunt Sal invited cousins Amber, Ashley, Shannon and I to go to bingo!  Erin (Rob's girlfriend) and her sister Ashley joined us too!  Ashley won $200!  I just donated!  But it was a lot of fun!

MON Feb 18: Well, while the girls were playing Bingo yesterday, Ken and his brother Rob carried a lot of "stuff" out of the basement and out to the garage in the cold weather!  And this was the result!  Day 1 of the renovation!  Studs are in! 

A Photo a Day: Feb 5-11

Feb 5 to 11

 Feb 5: Isaac is not a huge fan of arts and crafts.  So we tried to do some play dough.  He did well until I told him not to eat it!  Then we had a little break down.  Try again next time.  

 Feb 6: What to do with a large box?  Imagination makes the possibilities endless!  Why not a car!  Moira pushes Isaac- the girl is stronger than she looks!

Feb 7: Does this not melt your heart?  As a SAH (stay at home) mom, one of the things I take joy in is watching them learn to clean up!  "Clean up, clean up everybody everywhere.  Clean up, clean up everybody do your share!"  I can't wait until these kiddos can help for real.

Feb. 8: Moira is excited as she writes her very first uppercase letter: H!  She's growing up way to quickly! 

Feb 9/10: "If all the snow flakes were candy bars and milkshakes, oh, what a joy it would be."  {That would be the only way mommy would go outside.}  Luckily daddy is home on the weekend!  Two days of snow fun begins!  Isaac loved shoveling! 


Feb 11: It's our first library card in Milwaukee!  And our first stack of books checked out!  Some favorites: Spot books, Corduroy, a book about cars (Isaac's favorite) and a book about going to school {Moira's favorite}.
