Leftover Thursday

“Oh. Hello there, who are you?”

“Hi. Hello! I’m waving here. Are you ignoring me?”

“I am looking you in the eye, Fox!  Talk to me!”

“Daddy, this fox is hurting my feelings.”

“Away! Take it away!”

Spring?

We had a fun weekend at the farm which I will post about tomorrow.  For now I’ll give you these pictures I took on Friday.  After living in a fog…quite literally…the sun finally came out blazing! 

We have had some sunny days this winter, but it seems like most of the time it was either overcast, or pea soup fog.  Our little town often seems to be in its own weather pattern.  We can have socked-in fog for days on end without a single glimpse of the sun, but travel just 10 miles in any direction and it clears. 

The same goes for the snow.  We still have at least a foot, but travel in any direction and they only have patches of un-melted snow.

So on Friday we were so excited to see the sun!  Although the temperature said it was only 41 it felt like the upper 50’s.  The sun felt amazing.  We couldn’t let it go to waste so when T came home for lunch we let the girls get their bikes out of the garage and dust them off. 

They were thrilled to get out of the house!  We haven’t been outside at all lately because all our snow is old and crunchy ice-snow…not much fun to play in. 

Ready, set, go!

Boo got to test out her scooter on the “open road”. :)

It really did feel like Spring!  Although, as I type this there is snow coming down and a prediction of 1-3 inches, so I’m not holding my breath that Winter is over, but we’ll take any sunny days we can get!

Rock and roll!

We’re ready for you Spring!

Squirrel!

Peanut is in that wonderful stage of being easily distracted.  It’s funny to watch and it’s very handy when she wants something she can’t have because you can just shake a toy in her general direction and she forgets all about the forbidden object.

“Ooo, phone!”

“Mommy!”

“I’m gonna get you Mommy!”

“PHONE!”

“Mommy!”

“Mommy smiling at me!”

“Phone.”

“Hi Mommy”

“Phone again!”

“Mommy!”

“Ooo, BUTTONS!”

“Big green buttons on Mommy’s sweater!”

“PHONE!”

Our Funny Valentines

We had a pretty mellow Valentines day around here.  The girls woke up to a few small gifts…

…which they were very excited about!

Daddy went to the bakery and brought us back donuts before heading to work. 

And the girls were their regular silly selves. :)

T brought pizza home for dinner and we all watched Horton Hears A Who.  It was a nice, relaxed (but definitely not quiet) evening.  Perfect for our funny Valentines! :)

More iPhone pictures! 

Apparently we think it’s funny when our youngest is upset, and we even photograph the progression of agitation levels…

“Are you going to pick me up?”

“Come on! Pick me up here!”

“For the love of Pete, pick me up already!  Pleeeeease!”

And if that’s not enough proof,

“I WANT OUT….

…NOW!”

“Poor me.  Stuck in this carseat all the live long day.”

“I know you’re holding me, but that’s not what I want!”

“Surely they can’t resist this face!”

I took this picture a few hours after Aunt Karen left on the plane, and texted it to her saying Peanut missed her already! 

We enjoy our child’s misfortune.  Terrible.  Just terrible.
