Shakespear Shuffle

January & February photo shoot

We did do a few things besides celebrate birthdays in the last month.  I was bewildered (in a nice way) to see what great weather we had in January!  We got lots of play time in outside.

And picnics too

These two love to color

When Hunter colors & paints he purses his lips in concentration-it's so funny to watch him do it.  I love it & finally remembered to get a picture of it.

The chances are good at least one of our kids will need glasses - I think Dallen would look cute

Look at my big muscles Emma

One afternoon I noticed four of my five kids were walking around the house with my shoes on.  It was kind of weird.

While Nana stayed a week with us we went with our preschool friends to the Seaside Aquarium for a buck a person.  It was fun complete with an octopus & seals that needed to be fed but it really is super super tiny & small.  We only lasted 30 minutes though so it was just the right size for us that day.

While Nana was here it also snowed a bunch!  Everyone told us it would never snow here & this is the second time this winter.  I loved it!  It makes everything beautiful & we can stay home from school & relax.  Ahhhh....it is so funny to see the sand covered with snow.  Jeremy & I went to the movies the night it snowed a bunch & barely made it up our driveway.  We were 2 of a grand total of 4 people that were in the entire movie theater that evening.  I thought it would be packed!  

We went sledding at a friend's house one morning.  It took approximately 100 minutes to pack up all the kids & their "gear" & drive slowly to their house & put all the "gear" on & we probably lasted about 20 minutes out there.  Sigh...maybe I'll break down & buy everyone good boots & gloves & we may last longer next year??

These have really been one of the funnest presents we've ever gotten.  The kids have logged hours & hours playing with their wands.

Who can guess who Hunter pretends to be while he unloads the dishwasher??

Snuggle time!
