February-Snow, Sun, and Fun

February brought more snow and sun and lots of fun!

We built a family of snowmen this time.  The girls enjoyed licking the baby snowmen I built them.  Don’t worry it wasn’t yellow snow. 

Clara loved being in snow for her first time.  She only cried a few times when she fell in the snow on her face.  She didn’t last very long because she was tired and ready for her nap.  It was lots of fun to see her crawling around in the snow.  She is normally sleeping while we play in the snow.  It was so fun to have her with us and the girls had lots of fun with her too.

We built a snow castle this time.  The girls were good helpers and helped me to pack the bucket full of snow for their castle. 

We had quite a few warm days in February too and went on some good walks around our neighborhood and to the park.  Katelynn has been such a good helper lately.  She likes to help with Clara, help sweep, do the dishes and take the cushions off the couch.  Ok, maybe that last one isn’t helping so much, but she sure does love playing on the cushions.  Jane loves to play and swing and pretend with Katelynn.  They pretend to be falling down the lava drain, go to school, be Santa and deliver presents, be dad and mom, and go shopping.  Those are just a few of what I have heard lately.  Clara loves watching them play and tries to join them. 

In just the last few weeks Clara has discovered all the fun things in the cupboards.  She loves to get into any cupboard she can and gets mad when she can’t or I stop her.  The dishwasher is her absolute favorite and if she hears me open it she crawls as fast as she can so she can play in it.  It sure doesn’t get old watching babies grow and learn! 

Jane wants to be just like Katelynn and so she is learning to ride a bike.    Jane is getting better, but still has a little learning to do.  Kevin was helping Jane to learn on their daddy daughter time they had one warm Saturday.  Katelynn has gotten really good at riding her bike and loves to go on walks so she can ride her bike by us.  Resting after playing with Kevin on a warm Saturday.

 

Mmm, Ice Cream!  We had a lot of fun going to eat with the girls.  They were really good at the restaurant!  Don’t worry Jane didn’t eat that ice cream cone all by herself, although she probably could have!
