Snow storm cupcakes

We are getting a BIG storm here in VA and we don't even own a shovel....  While the girls were napping O and I made some 'snow storm cupcakes' any reason for cupcakes in this house is valid.  They turned out nice and he dove in as soon as they were done.  The girls will be thrilled when they wake up.

eyes

These eyes are going to be the death of me, I am going to be THAT crazy mother.

Cabin Fever

We are slowly going crazy here in VA, the weather has been cold an rainy for what seems like forever now.  I know it may not seem cold to most of you but it is cold for the kids and I, we are wimps after being in TX so long.

Stone soup day

I am wayyy behind with the blog, Kev has been working a ton and I have not had a lot of free time.  Anyway last week O had stone soup day at school, since they are not in school for Fathers Day they put together this special day instead.  O was so excited to have Kev go to school with him, his class had been working on different songs/crafts for the past few weeks just for their Dad's.  They had a great time and if I can figure it out I'll try to post the video Kev took.

Here is the whole gang before they left for school

I do exist

I swear there are absolutely no photos of me anywhere, partly because Kev doesn't really know how to use our camera and partly because I am the one who is always home to take the pictures.  Well I went to a photography class this weekend and learned a lot, it was a great weekend all to myself....  So I set the camera up for Kev and he took some photos of us playing at the Botanical Garden.  He did a great job and of course had some great light to work with, now my kids will actually know I was there!

Jumbo Jet

O loves jumbo jets, he is dying to go on one sometime soon.  We were at the Norfolk Airport on Sunday and he got to see some up close, he was thrilled.  You could even see the pilots waving to him, can't you just see the excitement on his face.  I promised him we will go on a jumbo jet soon.

The VA Aquarium

We took the kids to the VA aquarium on sunday, it's been super cold out here and we were sick of being in the house.  O fell asleep on the way down, the car has this magic effect on him it happens every time.  K held his hand the whole way there it was so precious!  She also held F's most of the time, well when they weren't hitting or touching each other.  The aquarium was kinda a bummer but they seemed to like it and that's all that matters.

This is the touch tank, the kid took his job very seriously and was talking to my kids like they were adults, they were very interested in what he was saying.  Something about horseshoe crabs being older than dinosaurs, millions of years old.  They would not touch anything but listened to him talk for quite a while, if only I knew his secret!
