Snow Day
We had a snow day today! Brandon and I tried to work, which is pretty stressful with two energetic kids. Even worse, the snow took forever to get started, and ended up not being any good for playing in. Oh well. The kids enjoyed staying in their PJs and we had a movie night tonight, enjoying our new big TV....

Today we continued to enjoy our Edible Arrangement with breakfast! What a treat, having chocolate-covered strawberries to start our day. Brian completed his crayon-resist Valentine–I love the stripes and XOXO pattern. This evening we had another great family dinner at Sue’s house. Kendall wanted to play with my scarf, and I let her. It was so long, I managed to wrap her up in it like a sari! My little maharani....

Read MoreTreasure Boxes
The kids both have treasure boxes now, and Kendall is a bit jealous that Brian has more interesting coins in his box..! (Mostly that’s thanks to the Tooth Fairy, but the fact that she’s only visited Brian so far only makes Kendall even more jealous!) But today he did let her look at his collection some, and even gave her a couple of coins. I found that Kendall had been playing Cinderella Star Wars, and thought it was...
