Learning to skate! 5:02 PM

Ella and Max decided this winter they would like to learn how to skate. They were both really excited to start, and Ella is doing wonderfully, and although Max is not doing too bad at all, he HATES it. It's all he can do to finish the session.
...only 3 more times! Poor guy! His heart is just not in it anymore.

SO happy on their first day (before going on the ice!)


And he's down. A lot. :(
(That was the first day though, now he's mostly up! Only a couple falls per class!)
So, does this mean no hockey player in our family? No...Ella wants to play hockey next year. Oh my!!!
Happy skating! :)

February Fun! 4:52 PM

Today we had a snow day. A full-out-kids home-Rick home at noon- snow day. FUN!! I'm STILL in my pj's. ;)

Here are the monkeys having fun in Daddy's boots...

 (Although Lexie wasn't too impressed...)



This is an MP3 Player holder I made today for Ella! Made to order...!

 (Zoe had to get in on the action)

And a scarf I made for my friend Lisa, but Lexie HAD to try it on, and this...oh yes...this is her smile. ;)

 That's better. :)

Max's Valentines! So cute!!


Lexie in a monster hat (order) trying to sneak into Halle's skating backpack...I think she's been caught!

 This is her 'Monster' face. Oooh, scary!

Movie night after a long (fun!) snow day!

Lex smiling again. Oy.

 She LOOOOVES popcorn!!!

And finally, the snowman hat. I swear she looks like Roseanne Barr in this pic!!! LMAO!

Hope your snow day was a happy one! :)
