Our Valentine's festivities

We had a FUN few days celebrating Valentine's Day this year. Erik had class on Valentine's Day so we celebrated as a family by going out to dinner on Saturday night. The boys' parties at school were postponed to Tuesday after Vday because of the weather. Erik and I will have to wait and celebrate Valentine's Day together when we head to Scottsdale next weekend because he so busy with school right now.

Snoklahoma

After having a major winter storm come through OKC 2 weeks in a row we are officially 'wintered out'. The kids in Edmond haven't been to school for 7 of the last 10 school days and the boys have only had MDO one time in the last 2 weeks. Erik has had to take Celebrex because of how sore he is from shoveling snow:) He shovels our driveway as well as a few of our neighbors and it's hard work! FINALLY the snow is beginning to melt of the streets today. I'm hoping maybe by Sunday I will FINALLY have sidewalks to run on outside! We were homebound last Tuesday-Saturday and this week we weren't able to leave the house Tuesday-Friday. Pretty miserable. The boys HATE this type of winter and Jack even refuses to go outside if there is snow on the ground. He told me "Mom, I like sand not snow"...me too, son, me too!!! We need vitamin D...ASAP...

shoveling, again.

Jacob braved the snow with dad for a few minutes. He got a little frostbite on his cheek and forehead:(

What our house has looked like for a couple weeks. Pardon Erik's bending over to help Jacob:)

Of course I've been cooking A LOT since there's not a whole lot else to do. One night I made PW's pasta with tomato cream sauce and it was excellent and comforting served with a creamy caesar salad and bread.

Their one day of MDO was "pink day"...Jacob's hair is a little wild but I love the curls:)

My wavy haired eater!

I made Jack come out to take a picture with all the snow...I think we got 10 or 12 inches 2 days before this picture was taken last week.

Baggies

I got the MiniBoden catalogue in the mail a few weeks ago and I am obsessed with the little boy cropped baggies. I have a feeling this will be a staple in my boys wardrobe year-round. They are ADORABLE and super comfortable. Jack wakes up everyday asking to wear his 'baggies' :) You can find them HERE.

Jack in his first pair of baggies. It was a snow day so I let him dress himself:)

I have this color ordered as well as a gray pair for both my boys:)
