Meet Robeca!

Princess was given an assignment at school to create a robot. She brought home an empty tissue box to aid in her creation. The problem? She and Doctor are far too creative to fiddle with a tissue box! We had some Styrofoam taking up space in the garage that was just right for the creation. Princess named it "Robeca." Get it? Rob-eca.......

Kid Comedy

We got a package awhile ago that was full of packing peanuts. When garbage day came several of the packing peanuts flew out of either the garbage can or the garbage truck. When the kids saw all of the peanuts littering the neighborhood, Megaman said, "I told those peanuts THREE TIMES to stay in the garage!"

Megaman's New Mug

Poor Megaman! Honey Bunch was swinging a necklace and accidentally made contact with his tooth. He wouldn't let the dentist do anything so we'll have to wait a couple of weeks and try again.

Happy Valentine's Day!

We got a very fun package in the mail this week. Doctor's aunt sent us some cookie cutters and sprinkles/cookie decorations. We had fun decorating and eating our cookies, thanks so much! Megaman couldn't wait to take a picture before he ate a bite. :0

I also got another package on Friday from my Valentine. He sent these beautiful tulips.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Snow Days

I think my kids have had more snow days this year than I had my entire school life! This week was full of them. The kids were sent home from school a couple hours early on Monday and then they were off the whole rest of the week. On Friday we decided to go to school anyway, only to go sledding! The snow drifts were the perfect size for Megaman to enjoy and for Dude to not go completely crazy with wild stunts. :) We met some friends there and had a great time.
You can't tell from the picture how high this snow drift is, but you get an idea if you look at the house in the corner.

Happy Birthday Honey Bunch!

Honey Bunch turned 5 on Sunday!!! I can hardly believe how fast the time has gone! She has a huge obsession with butterflies, so of course we had a butterfly birthday party . We started by decorating butterfly wings. Then we played pin the tail on the donkey. (HB really wanted to play pin the antennae on the butterfly, but that was more work than I could put into the party.) Then we got our butterfly masks on to hit the butterfly pinata.
I tried my hand at making a butterfly cake, and I think it turned out really cute. The purple on the cake looks gray in the picture, not sure why, but in real life it was really pretty.
HB was so spoiled by all the grandmas and grandpas and aunts, uncles, cousins. Thanks! You guys are all so sweet. Happy Birthday, Honey Bunch, thanks for keeping us all smiling!

Stormaggedon

That's what the storm of the century we're experiencing is called. The local university even closed for the first time since 1973. Everything is closed down. I will post about Honey Bunch's awesome butterfly birthday tomorrow, but for now here's a little peek at our world. We took these pics before it stopped snowing, and by the time all was said and done we had about 2 feet piled up at the door. We got about 20 inches total, and it was crazy windy.
This is our back door.

Here's a video of what it looked like after the snow slowed a bit.
