Barbie and Bob

The kids and I went to the museum to check out the new exhibits, Bob the Builder and Barbie The Fashion Experience. Pretty cool stuff!

The Tie

I have been trying to get Tommy to wear a tie for a very long time. He's pretty adamant about picking out exactly what he wants but finally after many Sundays, he decided he could wear a tie. He didn't want me to take a picture of him and actually was standing in the corner with his arms crossed until I asked him to give me his loudest scariest ROAR. As you can see, he had no problems doing so.

The Beauty of Winter

Very rarely do I EVER mention the words beauty and winter together in the same sentence. However, I do think these pictures of our neighborhood show the beauty winter can offer.

These days, you have to be creative

School was cancelled a few days last week, which means the kids and I were stuck at home. I have lost count of the days where we have stayed in our pajamas all day watching the snow fall. It's a good thing we had some creativity going on in the Richardson household, because cabin fever is starting to set in!!

Here is Kassie in her new Valentine dress that Grandma Brenda made her. So cute!!

Kassie is playing a game called "Parachute Buddies". From what I remember, her little red animal had a parachute tied around it's waist and she was tossing it down the stairs to see if it would of course parachute down. You may notice that Kassie also has a parachute attached to her waist, but don't worry, she did not try and parachute down the stairs.

I love, I repeat love that Kassie and Tommy can play together. Here they are playing puppies and superheroes. It isn't always peaches and roses but for the most part, they have a lot of fun together.

Kassie couldn't pass up an opportunity to practice a dance move.

Snow, snow and more snow

We have had so much snow this year. Well, not as much as other states but it just keeps coming and we can't do much about it except embrace it......right!!! So, why not make a snowman, a Valentine Snowman.

Kassie was not happy about the snowman's hat. She didn't think a cowboy hat was right for Mr. Valentine Snowman. But hey, what's a day without a little whining about a silly hat.

This picture makes me laugh. I love it.

Tommy didn't care if the snowman had a hat or no hat. All he wanted, was to be covered in snow. Yes, crazy and not something I would choose but that ok.

Rockin' Rollers

Kassie is a Rockin' Rollers star. She was super excited to go roller skating and she was very determined to "skate on her own". With some hard work and a few falls on her tiny bottom, she was skating like a champ.

As you can tell from the pictures, Tommy wasn't as excited to skate. He took a few laps around the rink and was done. He wanted to "play" the video games instead.

Jump and Play

Despite paying $5 for each kid and Tommy having a MAJOR fit when we left, the kids jumped their little hearts out with a smile!!
