Dance Party Tuesday

A little duet...now, let's get the party started....
Let me see you JUMP, JUMP!

Now, Raise the Roof! Raise the Roof!

And, finish it off with a little TWIST!
It seems to have been a good day to dance!
Happy Dance Party Tuesday! Now, we're just waiting on the sleet & snow to hit...supposed to be around midnight or so. I'll let 'ya know! No plans for tomorrow...should get a good school day in. Haircut on Thursday, then out for Valentine's Day Dinner on Thursday night....off to Dallas for the weekend, so this cold white stuff is welcome, but it better move on out quickly!!!

Yep...that's exactly how I feel too!

You know Caleigh, sometimes I wish I could make this face at the world too! You look much cuter than I would doing it though! Out of the many shots I took today, this one just says it all.

My Winter Favorite

This has become my all time winter favorite! It's what is always by my little one's bathtub now....Why you ask? Well, since I've been using these products for C, she's had no eczema flair ups. None. Zero this winter. Plus, it smells really yummy! So, I'm going to keep using it through the Spring & Summer months as well, and I'm hoping the eczema is a thing of her past. Fingers crossed! ;)

Little Cookie Maker

Her reaction when I told her we're going to bake something....and, she can help!
Got all the ingredients ready...come on Mom!

Hey...what did you put in there?

Let's turn this bad boy on & get some stirring action going!

Ahhhh....the rewards of being the helper!

Snow Day!








Well, the weather-man was right! This morning we awoke to a beautiful blanket of snow on the ground. They say we got around 4-5 inches...it was pretty fluffy....too fluffy for snowman creations. We had fun playing around outside this morning for a couple of hours. Thank goodness we found all of our ski wear. It came in handy today & plus, I found that Caleigh's outfit from last year is a few inches too short! YIKES! I'm going to try to let out the overalls and see if that helps. If not, I may be in the market for another bib before we ski in March. Everyone's already in bed tonight....ahhhh.....nice.

Mumbo Jumbo...

We've been hanging out a lot by the fire....no ice & snow here, but bitter cold in our neck of the woods! Highs haven't hit freezing in a couple of days...Supposed to snow tonight & tomorrow tho. The kids are waiting & hoping....
As for today, no school closings here! LOL!

Watching brother work....
Growth! Waiting for the bloom :)
See...not much to say...just a little "mumbo jumbo". This & that...did get out of the house this afternoon for the boys to go & play with friends. We were getting a little cabin fever around here. Made Tae Kwon Do practice last night, but I just wasn't feeling it tonight, so we stayed in. The weatherman is calling for ice pellets & snow starting tonight & continuing tomorrow. We'll see if he's right! The kids are praying for it of course!

"It's My Lucky Day!"



Her little neighbor friend sent over some goodies for Caleigh today. Upon opening the bag she yelled "It's My Lucky Day! Can you guess what she got?
Yep...a "Girl" Leapster (she calls it her DsD haha!) and a darling polka dot swimsuit for next summer....she was thrilled! Thanks Allie!

Watching & Waiting....

I just love this picture from Saturday at the Tae Kwon Do Tournament. It encompasses how we all felt. Tired...waiting...watching...waiting...tired of waiting! She did so good...all she needed was her Daddy there & she sat pretty much the whole 3 hours for "her boys' turn". I'm not usually a complainer, but my goodness....10 year olds having to sit on a gym floor for 3 hours for a turn to compete....that's just not right. They were bored & tired & it was so hot and stuffy in there...I'm surprised no one fainted! Hoping the next competition runs a little more smoothly!
We took the day off today & just hung around the house...I ran away for a couple of hours & James entertained the kids with fire & such before it started to rain...hard...stormy. It was in the 70's again today. High on Wednesday is supposed to be 33 degrees. Geesh!

Tae Kwon Do...HY YAH!

The boys with their instructor & friends.
Watching & waiting...there was a LOT of waiting...3 hours to be exact...ugh.

Finally...their turn to perform!




And...the rewards of hard work!

Bryce with his 4th Place Medal.
And, not pictured...one very proud mommy!

It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.






Yes, that's sweat on my baby's brow...sweat...during the end of January! Only in East Texas!
We had a beautiful day today...overshadowed only by the fact that my dryer quit heating! UGH! Luckily, a great man from a great local company saved the day! I called him at 9:00 & he had me all fixed up by 1:00! That, my friends, is my own little miracle for today. :)
The kids all enjoyed the pretty day after a morning of school-work. LOVED the sunshine! Much needed for us all! Tomorrow morning we head to Longview for the boys' first Tae Kwon Do Team Tournament/Competition. So excited for them! Can't wait!
