February Little Things

What a boring and snowy winter we’re having this year. I haven’t taken my camera out once! Who wants to look at pictures of over 100 inches of snow? Not me!!
Most of our weekends have been spent at home watching movies in front of the fire or playing one of Lucy’s many board games. Not really picture worthy moments.

Every year we receive the most thoughtful give from our friend Shelly. It seems to come in the mail on days I need it most. Shelly is known around here as the Angel Lady.

I love the fact that Emma goes to school so close to the rest of our family. It’s so nice being able to have a quick visit with her whenever we go down there. I love that picture of her and Lucy having soup together.

Boredom has set in and we’re playing nonstop board games.

Megan is all done with cheerleading for the year. She has two weeks off and then she starts lacrosse. Chloe starts her yoga class today after school. We just found out yesterday that Lucy got a lead role in the first grade play. She was so excited!! We couldn’t be more proud of her. Emma should be home in a few weeks for spring break. I can’t wait!!!! I miss her so much!! I love having everyone under one roof!! Lots of things going on this spring and I’m looking forward to all of it!! Especially the open windows!

This Moment

Lucy stayed home from school today. She sat in the chair complaining of a sore throat and stuffed up nose. So I put off all my daily plans (including volunteering) to snuggle up my Lu. We watched Frozen and read lots of books. Our morning was temporarily interrupted by a text from Emma saying she forgot her History homework. So we bundled up and ran to her school. About an hour later I got a call from the school nurse letting me know Chloe was sick. So off we went again.
…….My life as a stay at home mom……

(Wouldn’t have it any other way)

Happening Now

Lucy has been coloring Easter pictures this morning. She also went through a box of old photographs, picked out her favorite and taped about 20 of them to her bedroom wall. Megan is home sick today. She went to school this morning to finish up her MCAS testing but came home right after. Chloe has been practicing her guitar all week and looks forward to learning some new Blues songs next week. Emma experienced a little bit of teenage freedom this week as she went off with one of her licensed friends. Jon is getting busy at work again and I’m running nonstop as usual. I wrote my kindergarten placement letter for Lucy this morning. I have to get it in by Friday at noon!! March is flying by! Image

Life Lately

More snow. Because all it does is snow around here.

This is where we are sometimes forced to stop and eat when we’re on a road trip.
