A Few Really Cute Munchkins

 This is what happens at 3:30 when naps don't happen.
 We actually got some snow here last week.  Ella loves it of course...
 Cameron isn't so sure of it.

 And now he hates it.  Poor guy fell in the snow and then while trying to fight his way out, his boot came off.  He was pretty cold and traumatized.  I had to run out and save him because he would only stand there and cry.
 This was on our way out to the grocery store this morning.  They were just so darn cute, I couldn't help but snap a few pics before we left.
 This little thing is following in her big sisters footsteps and has become quite the little bundle of sass.
 But how do you get mad at that face!?!
And this little man was hamming it up since he had on his new sunglasses.

How'd I Do... February Goals

Sorry that I haven't posted much lately, but life kinda happened and last month was crazy busy and the next five weeks is just going to get worse.  I didn't do great on my goals, but I still did decent and I managed to get a few house projects done that I still need to post about.  So here we go...

February Goals:


Homemaking -
Finish up laundry room - This is roughly 70% done.  I need to paint the shelves still, but that will have to wait until spring when the weather is warmer and I have a little more time.  I also need to decorate.  Things are organized though and are working great.
Finish touching up paint in basement stairwell
Finish decorating toy room
Clean out master closet/dresser

Cooking -
Stock the freezer with some meals again - I didn't any meals made, but I did stock the freezer with some meat again and I made some homemade chicken stock.
Finish my part of family cookbook
Try new recipe each week - I tried several new recipes last month and most were really good.  There really was only one recipe that was a complete fail.

Mothering -
Spend more one on one time with Cameron - It's been nice to spend a little bit of time with Cameron while Ella is at preschool and Ashlynn is napping.
Date with Ella

Creating -
Make some art work for toy room

Financing -
Start saving money for new camera

Enriching -
Read a book - I've got a book on hold at the library, but unfortunately my hold number is 136.  Hopefully I'll have it by the end of this month.

So let's see what we have for March...

March Goals:

Homemaking -
Clean and organize guest room
Prepare the house for several guests over the next month
Replace the toilet in the kiddos bathroom... yeah it hasn't worked in a year now
