day 45 {14 feb 2010)

Mike asked for Valentine's Day homemade bread. The kids were thrilled.

D actually sat right in front of the oven as it was cooking saying, "dat mells gooood!"

IT smelled delicious as it baked.

day 46 {15 feb 2010)

The kids decided they wanted to have a dance party,

I went in to take some pics and found A sitting on her bed reading, not dancing.

day 47 {16 feb 2010)

D was helping me with the dishes (we had about 2 breakfast bowls in the sink that were dirty). I left him alone in there for just a minute, and when I came back he had moved all the clean kids' dishes from the cupboard into the sink. LOL!! He was so proud of himself "helpin wash dishes, mom." Oh well!

day 48 {17 feb 2010)

Made my daughter come out and pose for me. She was not all that thrilled at first...hee hee!

Here is my dd, A, giving me a bit of a dirty look! :)

she warmed up a little bit.

day 49 {18 feb 2010}

Playing with bokeh, which I am by no means a pro, but I was just too anxious to play to set up a good background. If you look carefully in the photo, you can see little hearts...they are normally circles of light in the out of focused part, but I learned how to play with a lens cover type thingy to make the circles turn to different shapes, I just played with hearts. Some day I will do something REALLY cool with this.

day 50 {19 feb 2010}

D examining his sisters' outdoor treasures. We have been loving the sun this week.

a quick shot of J while he was busy playing GI Joe/Star Wars with our neighbor.

We have had a surprise week of sunshine. It has been so so nice, I think it has tricked up all to thinking that spring is here. We need it. :) The kids have totally enjoyed the freedom they get outside. Although, it ties me up a bit more; our backyard is not safe enough for my little D to go outside without grown up supervision. We have loved it! Now if we could just keep the pink eye at bay and if my stupid sinuses would clear up for good!
