pictures
taking pictures of the kids is always an adventure. it really is much harder to take pictures of your own kids than someone elses. and i know i usually get at least one good one and everyone always says but they turn out so cute. but that's because they don't see the 250 outtakes that i had to go through to get the 2 good pictures.

riverwalk
this past week my dad had a meeting in san antonio so we met them there to hang out and do some shopping. i always love going to la cantera and the rim! we got the kids some cute clothes and found some adorable easter outfits. and did quite a bit of walking up and down the riverwalk.
the biggest news of all though is that this past week mason has started telling me when he needs to poop and has been just going in and going on the potty!!!! amazing. i have been dealing with poopy underwear since june so i cannot even tell you how awesome this is. neither kid had a single accident the entire time we were out of town. it was so great.
friday we headed back to town because amy and her family were in town for sing song and we wanted to get to see them! amy is one of my twin mom friends and i was so excited they were going to be here. mason really liked the girls and showed off for reese and riley the entire time at dinner. this boy is going to be such a flirt.

daddy daughter dinner & dance
our church does these awesome events that are daddy/daughter, mother/son, mama/daughter, etc. when the kids turn three they can start attending. i have been taking pictures at there for a few years now and have been so excited for the kids to get to start going. the daddy/daughter dance is my absolute favorite of all of them. it is just so sweet. all the little girls get so excited and get all dressed up for their date with their daddies. sawyer got to go this year, but she didn't really get it yet and she is just so shy. it was her introductory year :) she is going to love it as she get older!

i had this post started before all of the snow just as a little update of what the kids are into right now.
they love games right now. one of our friends let us borrow the goodnight moon game and ever since then they have been wanting to play games every day.
sawyer loves to wear her jamies. she wants to wear them all the time and we have had quite a few battles over this since i will not let her wear footies to church.
sawyer is also still very into babies. and changing their clothes.
mason is still very into animals. he lines them up like this constantly. it's a little weird.
they love to dress up.
they had their first dentist appointment the week before all the snow. sawyer freaked out at first but did fine after she watched mason do it all.
we went to a friends bday party at gymnastics sport center and they had so much more fun than the last time they went.
their imaginations are so crazy right now. the stories they make up are so funny and it is so much fun to listen to. we are going to have to start lessons on lying with sawyer already though. last night she peepeed in her pants a little bit and when eric asked her if she did she told him that she dumped a little water on her pants from her water cup in the car! she is going to be fun in middle school!

the rest of our snowcation
friday was another snow day for all the schools here so we didn't get out on the roads any. we headed out to sled in the front yard that morning. the weather was perfect because it was sunny and had finally warmed up a little. i had to build up the little hill out front but it worked all right for them.
we spent the rest of our time making more food and watching more tv. but saturday the snow finally started to melt! it was soo good to get out of the house since we hadn't left since monday. sadly though we had to go buy a new washer and dryer because our washer broke in the freeze :(
then sunday night it snowed again!! i have never seen so much snow in abilene. i drove home from a super bowl party and could hardly see out my window it was coming down so hard in huge flakes. and they are forecasting snow again for wednesday. where is this coming from??

it's not melting
this was the conversation at breakfast this morning.
day 2. we just stayed inside. did not even go out to play in the snow. it is a chore to get them all layered up and to get all those wet, cold clothes off afterwards. and it was ridiculously cold, a high of 16 or something. so we spent our time watching movies, playing games and cooking. We have made chicken pot pie, bread, beef stew, chocolate cake and will make chili tonight. i also have been cleaning and washing jamies and warm clothes in the sink. let me tell you how much fun that has been. our washer is frozen and somebody keeps having accidents. awesome.
day 3 we ventured back outside for some more time in the snow. they had more fun and were able to stay out much longer.
he of coarse didn't like it anymore after he got too cold. later when i asked him if he liked playing in the snow he said no. i asked him if he liked snow and he said no. then i asked if he wanted to play in the snow again tomorrow and he said yes! silly boy.
maybe today will be the last day...
M: sissy where are we going today?
S: not anywhere, it's still snowing.
M: are we stuck?
S: yep, we are snowed out.
today is day 4 of the snow still being on the ground, very icy roads, all of the schools closing, and not leaving the house. the only change is that eric had to go to work this morning. three days of was nice though.

snow day!
the kids were so excited when they woke up and saw the snow. mason asked me, "who brought this for me??" they of coarse wanted to go out and play immediately, but we ate breakfast first and took our time getting out there.
we went out front first to help daddy clean off his car to go into work. we attempted to build a snowman, but as soon as i got a pile going they just wanted to smash it. so we did snow angels instead!
after a while we were freezing and headed back in. we built a tent in the hall and sawyer brought all her babies out. and eric found out they got a snow day!! so awesome that he is not on patrol right now..because that would obviously never happen!
after lunch we decided to head out for round 2. sawyer LOVED playing in the snow. mason on the other hand did not like being cold. he kept saying i want to be warm inside. every time he fell over it was a meltdown.
sawyer also really liked eating the snow. we could not get her to stop.
hiding around the corner eating it.
yeah, i see you.
after naps we spent the rest of the day watching movies and cooking, homemade bread and chicken pot pie! yum!
