Baby, It's Cold Outside

The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found? ~J.B. Priestley

When it snows, you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels.

"snow"

It's pretty cold here.
Not cold enough for NEW snow.
But cold enough to keep the OLD snow from entirely melting.
We found a big enough pile to keep our 2 California kids happy.

long weekend fun

We went to Farrell's on Saturday to celebrate Jacob's birthday.
Molly asked the balloon guy for a Hello Kitty.
He made this bracelet for her.
She was thrilled!
Jack asked for a snake!
I can't believe this kid is 14...
I remember CLEARLY the day I became an aunt.
Tonight, we celebrated an early Valentine's Day with our friends,
at a playdate and dinner at Mia's house!
We had a yummy dinner, made a fun craft,
and decorated cupcakes!
(and took out every toy in the house)

Free Yogurt Day

Sometimes it's ok to eat dessert first.

A Day in the Life...preschool

Both Jack and Molly were very lucky to go to St. Paul's Preschool.
It's a wonderful place to be.

In a typical day, Molly can be found doing many things at school.

Painting:
More painting:
Wood-working:
"I'm protecting my eyes, mom"
Molly designed, hammered, and painted this robot:
Crafting:
Sharing:
(this is sharing about our adventures with class mascot, Pinky the Pig)
Adding to her portfolio:
(yes, she calls it that, too)
Lately, she can be found playing post office.
They bring, mail, and receive 2 valentines each day.
Each day, the kids have different roles to play.

I am so thankful for all the people who make St. Paul's a special place.
(especially Molly's teacher who takes hundreds of pictures each month...
and, of course, Nana, who makes it all happen!)
