Picnic Weather

Last Saturday we were able to go on a little picnic for lunch.  It was KayLynn's idea because she had just watched Curious George do that very thing!

 I cut up all the fruit and veggies and K got to put them in plastic baggies and then into our picnic basket (wedding gift from Aunt Cece)

We even had time for a game of chase before we went home!

Its been a while...I know

Time flies...thats for sure.  I have lots to update (mostly because I want the record - not because I think you are dyeing for pictures of my adorable kid!)...but first let me start with some recent KayLynn~isms.

~She no longer says Bitar, now its just a plain old guitar!!

~Yesterday I teased her and said, "ok its time for nap - go to bed".  And she did.  She pulled her little purple chair up to her light, turned it off and went to bed.  And if that isn't horrible enough that night she informed me that she could go to bed by herself.  Anyone else know how horrible this feels?  My not-so-little-girl is now my big girl.

~This weekend:
K: Before I was in your tummy I got borned at the hop-ital (said with a little bounce in your voice while saying the hop part!), and then I got borned again!  I was baby Jack.
Me: No, you were baby KayLynn
K: Yep I was baby Jack and Aunt Mandy hold me in the hop-ital.  I cried.  But its ok, because babys just cry.

We had the Krulish girls over and had quite the weekend... 

 It was cold outside but I could only find 2 pairs of gloves, so Wren wore some socks!

sleepover in the living room complete with snacks and movies!

Pictures to come of this weekends drive and picnic!

My friends are all safe, thanks for the prayers.  So busy with Krulish girls...

Japan

Please pray for our sister churches in Japan right now.  Please also pray for my family there (Asako, Shin, Kei and Emma).  I am praying that I will hear something.

Fun in the snow...

No, there is not snow at my house right now, these are late!!  Suprise suprise!

Building our snowman

Going down the slide...  Three times and then, "OK mom, lets get some hot chocolate"

So we did!

We make our own hot chocolate (the real stuff) but we have been making it sugar free and its not bad!  We always have to make several batches at home because KayLynn has hers with soymilk, I have mine with non-fat milk and guests have theirs with real milk and sugar!  And sometimes we add schnapps - but not with KayLynn!!

My Valentine's Flowers

I figured I would share again just because they are still brightening my day, my valentines flowers from my loves...


From Max: with the wine we shared

 From KayLynn:

First Cadbury Egg

I personally think they are gross - but I do think everyone should try one!
