I helped, and now Ivy has her shawl

Charli puts on the black dress shoes

Valentine's Day morning- busy making hearts

Charli and Daniel~ Jack's floor blanket is up on the windowseat when not in use

The hutch cabinets hold many games that were formerly in the playroom closet. 

Giving the kids easier access to them has resulted in much more use and they keep discovering new games-- here is Hi Ho Cherry Oh, a counting game

These two had a great time holding hands today

Charli led the way and Daniel didn't seem to mind

Brendan is back!!

More pirates again today- Addison, Lelia and Brendan

Addison and Brendan

They like being up high at the top of the snow plowed mound

Addison and Charli

Daniel takes a break from walking

Brendan and Lelia check out the sandbox- the 'snow box' now!

Daniel

Brendan and Lelia on the snow covered swing

Charli tries the slide with the big snow pile at the bottom

Daniel and Charlotte

This slide down, knocks the snow pile off the slide

Charli indicates how the snow slid off too

Charli attempts to pick up the large piece of snow

I call the big kids to come and help- they come running!

Lelia declares "I am strong because I eat vegetables at home!"

Brendan is also strong!

Charli discovers the slide is really fast without that mound of snow to slow her down!

Addison is strong - she eats her vegetables too!
