Valentine's Craft

I have been trying to be more crafty with Quinn.  Trying to help her learn her colors and shapes.  We did a fun Valentine's Day craft last week.  I drew some hearts for her, she used her dot markers to color them in and then we put glue around the edge and she put marshmallows around the edge.  She loved it!

After School Snack

Sage was so excited to have hot chocolate as her after school snack on Friday.  It was a gift from Miranda's baby shower.  They gave us hot chocolate mix, marshmallows and a spoon dipped in chocolate and sprinkles!  Sage was loving it!

Timbits

Friday morning Quinn and I brought Sage and Freddie to school.  It was a rough start to the day as Sage came in our room at 7:25am.  We are usually dressed and downstairs eating breakfast by 7:15am! Yikes!  It was a crazy start but we made it to school and volunteering on time.  We brought Freddie to his classroom then headed to Sage's.  Sage put her stuff away and got started on her morning work and I started on mine!   Quinn sat in her stroller and played with some toys and the iPad.  She loves to see all the kids too!  We were there for almost two hours on Friday - Mrs. LeRoy had lots of copies she needed done for Valentine's Day this week.  When we left I decided since Quinn was so good we would go get her a treat.  And who doesn't love a yummy donut!

 

 Looking to see what is in there!

 So excited for a special treat!

 YUM

All ready to go home with our leftovers to share with Sage.  

Love this picture of her!

Conversation

This girls still loves phones of any kind.  Cellphones toys and real ones, the phone she is playing with in the pictures below and a new favorite a phone she has found in Sage's classroom at school.  On this particular morning she was having a conversation with Pa-Pop.  Not sure which one she was talking to Papa or Pop-Pop, as she now has combined those into one name.  It sounded like a good conversation!

Movie & Popcorn

Two nights ago we had an early dinner and the girls were still hungry so we made some popcorn.  They settled down with their popcorn and it turned into a movie night!

Eventful morning...

This little one is such a cutie and looks so innocent - do you think she would lock her mother out of the house - the answer is YES!   That is just what she did last Monday morning.  I had brought Sage out to the garage to wait for our neighbor Julie to pick her up.  Quinn was at the breakfast table playing with chapstick - it is a new favorite of hers!  I went to go back in the house and the door was locked.  I was able to stop Julie and she went and dropped the kids off to the bus and came back to help us.  Luckily I had on a jacket, shoes and had gloves in my pockets because it was a cold morning.  I tried to get Quinn to unlock the door to no avail.  We called the non-emergency sheriff dispatch and waited for a deputy.  We sent Quinn to the front door so we could see her through the windows on either side.  She was fine just wondered why we were outside and she was inside!  The deputy arrived and he only had a tool to break a window.  I didn't really want to break a window or call a locksmith.  The deputy then asked if Quinn could get the stick out of the track for the sliding glass door - and yes she can!  Julie and I ran around the house and we called Quinn to come over.  After a few minutes of telling her to get the stick she finally did!   We then had her unlock the door and we were in!  Needless to say I went and had spare keys made that same morning.  One was hung in the garage and one was also given to Julie as well.  A very eventful morning! 

Smart Girl

This girl keeps me on my toes.  This picture is from Tuesday morning.  She had gotten one of her wipes and was wiping down the shopping cart.  She must be paying attention at the grocery store when I wipe down the cart.  Smart and observant girl!

Love from Aunt Shelley!

Aunt Shelley sent the girls a Valentine's Day present.  Sage was so excited to get mail!  They did pretty good opening the package and card together.  Thanks for the new socks Aunt Shelley!

Snowshoeing

Friday afternoon while I was at my parents we went snowshoeing!  Dad stayed home while Quinn napped and Mom and I went out for an hour of snowshoeing.  I loved it!   It was a beautiful day with a gorgeous view of the shoreline.  It was definitely a workout - and a good one!  I think Reese and I need to invest in some snowshoes for the whole family!
