A new past time in our neck of the wood!
Be blessed.

Daddy Book
Little A received the book, Dance Me Daddy, in her Christmas stocking.
To be honest, the book was on sale for a dollar just before Christmas and looked sweet…I’d never heard of it or ever thought it would become the ‘hit’ that it has.
‘Hit’ may be an understatement as this little book has become the one and only book that A requests before nap and bedtime. The book has affectionately been dubbed as the ‘Daddy Book’…when it’s time for bed, A runs to her room saying ‘Dadeeee Dadeeee’ and picks up the book to give to C (or I).
We all (B included) have the book memorized…it really is a sweet book that highlights the bond that daddy’s and daughters have and makes me dream (though I don’t want to wish this time away) of the day when C, Lord-willing gets to dance with his precious daughter at her own wedding.
Which makes my heart remember the sweet memory I have of dancing with my own Daddy the day I got married…
Be blessed.
Bathtub Fun!
The couple weeks ago, we surprised the nuggets with a silly bubble bath.
The silliness was complete with homemade bathtub paint.
They may have ended their bath ‘messier’ than they started…but enjoyed themselves greatly!
Be blessed.
Valentines
We needed an excuse to buy some conversation hearts…so we put B to work on patterning and all (except little A) enjoyed the ‘fruits’ of his labor after tackling the project.
The nuggets were diligent with their card creating…
B patiently signed cards for all of his classmates and grandparents…this was no small feet!
He gave his friends bubbles…
I tried to snap a photo of the two to include in the cards for family…who would have thought this might be the challenge that it was?!?!
The week of Valentine’s Day we enjoyed a special sprinkle-filled lunch…
And heart shaped donuts!
B had the privilege of going to school on February 14th…which meant lots and lots of fun loot to sift through when he got home!
C and I enjoyed a romantic candle-lit dinner to celebrate…well, not so much, but we did enjoy a fun dinner together as a family, breakfast for dinner!
The nuggets helped me with dinner…
A Valentine’s breakfast/dinner complete with heart shaped cinnamon rolls, red & white fruit, pink smoothies, pink yogurt and yes…pink scrambled eggs!
Before saying goodnight, we opened Valentine sussys sent graciously from loved ones…both nuggets squealed with delight as they opened the different packages that had been addressed to them!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Be blessed.
Typical
This little guy’s delight for bedtime reading continues.
It's often that we go in to turn off his light and discover this.
Such a nugget!
Be blessed.
Winter Fun
A couple weeks ago, some friends invited us over for some impromptu snowman-making fun.
This was C’s inaugural snowman creating experience…he had quite a learning curve to achieve as is identified in the size of the snowy man!
The snowman building was interrupted with some good old fashioned sledding.
I was grateful for C’s willingness to sled and tow the nuggets back up the hill…as my growing tummy seems to be quite the hindrance to such activities these days.
The time outside left both nuggets tuckered out as is identified by little A’s red cheeks and tired eyes…they slept hard and undoubtedly dreamt about all the snowy fun!
Be blessed.
