Super Bowl Fun

We had some of our favorite friends over to watch the Super Bowl!  I am pretty sure Nolan has a new girl friend, because he followed Morgan around the entire night!  Nolan also decided that the only way to watch the Super Bowl is with some face paint.... unfortunately he was only able to find an ink pen!


We had some delicious food and got to spend the evening with some of our favorite people!

Hey There Mr. Snowman!

Snow Day #4:  We are definately going a little crazy here with all this togetherness!  Jonathan stayed home with us today and I don't know who is more excited!  Nolan has been wanting to go outside all week and today we were finally able to get out of the house.  









 We had lots of fun making our "snowman", having snowball fights, and making snow angels!  Nolan really liked playing in the snow, but he is still not a fan of hot chocolate!

Happy Chinese New Year!

If we end up home for a forth day in a row we are really going to have to really stretch to find a holiday to celebrate, but today we celebrated the Chinese New Year!  We made lanterns and moon cakes.  Nolan thought the moon cakes were very tasty!


  I also made Nolan a cape thinking it would be something fun for us to play with... he wore it for about 2 minutes and was done with it.  Oh well... he did look super cute in it!

Poor Mr. Groundhog....

It kind of looks like he got hit by a car....

Happy Groundhog Day!!!

We are home for another snow day!  We tried to be a bit more productive today and even did a little cleaning.... very little.  We have been doing our best to celebrate Groundhog's Day.  We started off the morning with some Punxatawney Phil pancakes.
  Later we played with our pop-up Phil toy and ate groundhog cupcakes.

Tonight we will be having Groundhog loaf.  I'll let you know how it turns out.  
Nolan really loves school, especially music time and arts & crafts.  The Wheels on the Bus is currently his favorite song (particularly the wheel and horn part).  They learned about farms last month, with planting seeds and making butter.  So we decided to make some bread and butter today as well.  It was a big hit!
Right now we are hoping for a third snow day and trying to stay warm!

Keeping Warm and Staying Cool!!!


Thanks to Nolan's new hat from our sweet friend Lisa and mama of this cutie...


Snow Day!!!

We live for snow days in this house!  It is even better when Daddy stays home too!  We started the morning very early singing the "No School Today" song to Aunt Veazey!  She wouldn't admit it, but it is her favorite part of a snow days too!  It has been a bit of a challenge today.  It is actually one of the rare snow days we have where it is too yucky to get on the roads, so we have to find activities and food in the house.  A bit scary!  We had snowman pancakes for breakfast!


Nolan and I have been working on a garland for his valentine's day party and valentine's for his friends!  We also made homemade marshmallows to take to our neighbors with some hot chocolate!  We might have also made some decorations for tomorrow.....
