Snow Day! And some other stuff!

This morning the kids were thrilled to wake up to the sight of snow!

After Warren was done with speech therapy I layered them up in their snow gear for some outdoor fun!

While the kids love the snow I am DONE!  I have decided that this is the LAST snow of the season!  There will be no more I am just sure of it!  I am so sure that I took this pile...

and put it all in the washing machine so I could put it up for the winter!  I am sure that will keep the snow at bay till next year! 

Besides the snow we have been keeping busy.  Warren has been having his weekly speech therapy which he loves.  The minute she dives up he starts screaming "play"!  I love it because it gives me an hour break!

Jaden has been busy with her ballet which she of course still loves!  I don't know what we will do this summer because she will miss it so much!

 Her recital is in June and she can't wait to wear her costume! 

Warren's OT prescribed him a trampoline to help burn off some of his energy.  Unfortunately I was not the one who ordered it and once it was put together I was a little shocked at the size!  The kids love it.  Luckily Rusty never finished the dining room so it is in there for the time being!

We have had a few playdates with friends of course!

I finally decided to get the sewing machine back out a make Jaden a few outfits.  It is not easy with a wild 2 year old running around!

And last week after a long whiny day I decided to spice up bath time!  I told them it was going to be a special bath, they were pretty fired up!

We turned the lights off and had a glow in the dark bath!  I think they stayed in the water for 45 minutes!  They were both wrinkled when they got out!

My bi-monthly update!

Once again I am slacking but I am blaming it on the 2 year old!   Between Doctor appointments and therapy I just want to crash when I have a free moment.
Jaden has been great with everything and is taking it all in stride.  She understands we have to do it all to help her baby brother.  When we are not running around I try to come up with ways to keep the kids busy.  Last week we decided to go to the beach in the kitchen!  This was a BIG hit with both kids!

We have of course had a few playdates, one of which we got to make our own pizzas!  This went over big with my crew!

I also must have been taking drugs last week because when my neighbor asked if I wanted to go with her to Chuck E Cheese I said yes!  Never again!  Chasing a 4 year old and 2 year old all over a germ invested mad house is not my idea of fun!

The past few weeks we have also been celebrating Chinese New Year!  2013 is the year of the snake.  For some unknown reason I decided it would be fun to go to 3 different CNY celebrations!  Not sure what I was thinking.  I am now hearing the Lion drums in my nightmares!

The first party was our local COFCC CNY celebration!  Jaden was not to happy that she had to dress up "Chinese" but she got over it when I told her she looked like a princess!

The next day we had a dinner planned with Jaden's playgroup!  More Chinese food and more Lion dancing!

I am happy to say that Jaden is no longer afraid of the Lions.  But she is quick to say she does not like it when the lion "throws up" the cabbage and the orange.  I for one have to agree with her on this!

Four days later we went to our 3rd and final Chinese New Year event.  This time it was girls only and it was to the local Chinese community group!  We decided to forgo the outfits since we wanted to not stick out!  This made Jaden very happy!  She was also happy cause she got to go with her favorite group the C girls!(minus Cammie!)

After our second CNY event we had to book it to the Hockey rink so the kids could watch their first hockey game!  Jaden was a little overdressed but we all had a great time and I am sure we will be back!  Jaden loved it when our team scored and luckily they did it a lot that night!

And finally we actually had two days in the past two weeks when we were actually able to go outside without freezing to death!  I am so ready for spring!!!

                    And just cause I think its funny here is a picture I took of our refrigerator last night!

It seems no one in our family can drink the same milk!!!
