Calm Before the Storm

The previous pictures were the calm before the biggest snow storm in years. I haven't seen such a big snow storm in ages. We probably got 18 inches or more on the evening of February 13th. We had a safe and healthy Valentine's Day.

The Beautiful Blue Sky & Warm Sun

For the last two days we finally saw some blue sky and some warm sunshine. All of the kids had to go out and play which they haven't enjoyed for a long time. We even saw neighbors coming out to enjoy the beautiful day. Brianna just lost her third tooth and it's the same one Isaac is missing, however Isaac didn't show it enough in this picture.

Another Dream for Isaac's Blog

Isaac asked me this morning if I could post another dream on his blog. So here it goes: "The Train was leaving without me and I was sad." Isaac said.

Valentine Box Idea

I have been helping my kids make their Valentine Boxes and I thought of my Mom who is in the Nursing home, so I made her this one out of a butter cookie tin. First I cut a piece of red paper for the top, then I cut three strips of paper joined them together with tape and went around the edge. The tin looked plain so I thought of putting something lacey on the top, I made a paper fan and cut it like a snowflake with a heart theme. The tin still needed something else and the song "Paper Roses" came into my head, then I took paper and cut it into petal shapes and taped them together. When I finished the tin "I thought it looked like something my mother would like" as well as other so I thought I would share it on this blog.

Cute Dream

Sunday Morning, Isaac told us he had a dream

about a lion.

The lion ROARED at Isaac, Then Isaac copied the lion

and ROARED back at him, then the Lion cried.

"Why Are Their Heads Chopped Off?"

As we walked through Kohls department store admiring the different mannequins last night, we came to some that had no heads or arms, suddenly Isaac said in a suprised tone " Why are their heads chopped off, and their arms?" I replyed saying "Maybe they were bad." Isaac didn't take it as a joke at first, he had a real concerned look on his face. Now he knows I was just being funny. I will never look at mannequis the same again. I never thought of it before that their heads were chopped off, I always just looked at it as fashion.

Isaac's other funny perspective is, when he sees a handicapped/disabled sign he says "look a man on the potty." The first time he came up with that one we were in the dollar store at the checkout (he made some of the people in line laugh).

The Box Is More Fun Than The Toy

Have you ever heard that the box is more fun than the toy? Well, here is proof. Isaac calls this his rocket. Isaac bought the toy a couple of days ago and is now enjoying the box.

Today Isaac went to the Museum of Natural History at University of Utah with his Preschool class for a field trip. Isaac saw lots of dinosaur bones as well as other animals native to Utah. Isaac also enjoyed the cool rocks he saw. On the way back he enjoyed a nap on the bus. Daddy was jealous he couldn't go on the field trip because he had to attend his college math class.
