Super Bowl Party

The girls and I invited Lance, Nyx and Jude over for a Super Bowl Party.

Madison was looking forward to dessert the most.

Madison helped me make some chocolate covered strawberries and pretzels.

We also made some Valentine's Day cupcakes. Madison decorated the cupcakes all by herself.

Jude was very excited to see all of the sweets on the dessert table.

Nyx let Jude eat a cupcake for dinner while the rest of us enjoyed the Mexican Feast that the girls and I had prepared. We had way too much food, so they are coming over to help us eat leftovers soon.

The girls and Mr. Lance had their own Super Bowl with the cute blow up footballs I found on clearance at Target. Great throw Madison! I hope Mr. Lance catches it!

Watch out, Mr. Lance! Jocelyn is coming in for the tackle!

Touchdown, Madison!!!!!!

Once the real Super Bowl started, the adults watched it in the living room while the kids played in the playroom. We asked Madison to watch Jude and let us know if he was getting into trouble or doing something he shouldn't be doing. Apparently I should have asked Madison to watch Jocelyn too. Because when I went through the kitchen to check on the kids, this is what I found...

Jocelyn decided to help herself to the chocolate covered strawberries and pretzels.

Watch out the chocolate monster is going to get you!

Lance, Nyx and Jude had to leave at halftime to put Jude to bed, but we had a fun party while it lasted.

Catching Snowflakes

The girls were so excited today when they got off the school bus and discovered that the rain had turned to snow.

They decided to try and catch some snowflakes in their mouths before heading inside to warm up.

I wonder how much snow we are going to get this weekend?

Funny Face Photos

The girls love that Mommy's new computer has a Photo Booth were we can take crazy pictures. Here are some of their favorites that we have taken:

Madison is glowing?!?

Oh no, there are two of them! She looks like she is trying to look at her twin. ;)

These last two pictures crack me up. Clay took these pictures of the girls before he left. Daddy's silly girls:

Shoveling Snow

Today I decided to shovel the snow off the walkway while the girls played in the snow. Unfortunately, we do not have a snow shovel yet, so I shoveled the snow with a "dirt shovel" as Madison called it. I am sure that it took me three times longer than it should have. Oh well, it felt good to get it cleaned off. The snow is very slowly starting to melt. However our street has still not been plowed. School is cancelled tomorrow and they are calling for a winter mix. Looks like we will be spending another day at home.
