Snow Day!

We've had more snow fall in the last 3 hours than we did all winter! After our beautiful week of clear skies and sunny... our weather has taken a winter turn. I went out this morning to shovel with Ethan and Emalina... Ethan was supposed to be my big helper with his new snow shovel... But after 4 minutes, he was done and back inside. Emalina on the other hand, LOVE being outside in the snow. She lasted a good 40  minutes. Falling in the snow was not her favorite thing though... She couldn't get up on her own. So there was a lot of whimpers of "Mommy, i've fallen and I can't get up"! 

And after I finished shoveling... it started snowing again and you could hardly tell that I had shoveled! LOL! Oh well... It will be my afternoon nap project!

                     

Gitty in Green!

 My friend Ashley and I took advantage of the nice weather and took the kids to an old barn in our village for a St. Patty's Day photo shoot... complete with a 'Blessed' banner, green necklaces and even green cupcakes! 

Of course it didn't quite turn out how I'd expected... But these were the best photos from the almost 200 I took. I have just come to terms with the impossibility of getting all three of my children looking, let alone smiling at the camera at the same time. 

All I know... is the cupcakes were a BIG hit! 

Finally!

Last week it was FINALLY nice(er) outside. The sun was out and it warmed up considerably in as long as I can remember! 

We have a great park in Rodenbach... SO on WEdnesday afternoon I took the kids after nap time to play. There is a great old train track behind the park... I can see a future photo shoot here this summer! 

Anyway, I told the kids to sit down and I snapped this cute little sequence.
