Cute Conversation

Charlotte & I were driving in the car last night when Charlotte starts asking me about work and why I have to go.
 
Me:  I go to work so we can have money to pay for  things like our house, car, food and stuff. 
Charlotte:  Work sounds great!  When I grow up, I'm going to be a doctor.
Me:  Oh yeah?  That's great!  Then you'll be able to take care of everyone.
Charlotte:  I know.  And then everyone will have to call me Dr. Charlotte... even Daddy & Pop, right Mumma?
Me:  That's right Charlotte.
Charlotte:  But don't worry, even when I get a job I'm still going to live in our house with you, Daddy and Ellie.

Missing Mimi & Boppy

Stephe's mom & step dad are spending a couple months in Florida this winter. The first couple weeks were ok but now the kids are starting to express how much they miss them. The other day driving in the car, Charlotte was saying that she misses Mimi and she can come home soon because the snow is starting to melt. And Ellie walks around the house saying "Hi Boppy!" 

Here are a couple videos with a message for Mimi and Boppi from home.

Random February Fun

I could watch my two girls play together for hours... especially now that they actually like to play together and for the most part, get along!  And with all the snow we've had this winter, this is how we've spent quite a few days -- in the house getting silly and running around like monkeys.  They love making crazy videos (or bideos as Charlotte says) and then watching them.

They spend hours riding around on thier zebra "motorcycle".  I think it's funny when they switch off driving.

Ready to venture out in one of the gazillion snow storms we've had in the last month or so.  She loves it even thought it's tough for her to walk around in.  The snow shoes help a little plus they leave cool monster footprints!

Once again, Ellie was stuck inside with me.  The snow is just way too deep for her to handle.  The snow in the yard is taller than her!

Charlotte and Daddy have been having movie day when Ellie goes down for her nap.  He thinks it's so cool that she will actually sit still through entire movies now.

I took the kids to Hannah's b-day party at Jump and Play on Sunday.  They both had so much fun!!  Even though Charlotte JUST had her own really cool b-day party at the Drawbridge Puppet Theater, she's already got ideas for her next two parties.  She wants her fifth birthday at Jump & Play and her sixth birthday at Disney.  I guess a girl can dream....

We have so much snow that Stephe actually let Charlotte jump off the roof!  She said she was going to flap her arms to fly.

 These last 2 picture are cool because you can see that the snow in the yard is higher than our picture window!!  Next time I'm out, I'll try and get some pictures of some the snow banks around town.  Poor Lainey hasn't had many walks lately, it's too dangerous to walk in the streets and the snow is too deep for hiking in the woods.
