Valentine's Day

On Saturday night we had our good friends over for dinner. We made crepes (so yummy!). It was much nicer than going out to a crowded restaurant.

Here are the place settings:

Tim & Angie

Jermie & I

Jermie's Birthday/Scavenger Hunt

For Jermie's birthday (last week) I decided to make him go on a scavenger hunt (since he was really only getting one present). It was so much fun- The boys had a blast helping him figure out each clue.

Clue #1: Hmm… This is not your gift (thank goodness!) So, maybe your gift is hiding in a place where the kids store many toys. Quick- go look!

Clue #2: Oh, too bad- Not here either…. Well, maybe you should look in a closet that belongs to your princess. (He debated whether to look in my closet or Bethany's- He opted for Bethany's and found the next clue)

Clue #3: Wow, you still haven’t found your gift? Such a shame. Look this time in a place where our guests can clean up a bit in the morning. (Jacob thought we meant cleaning up toys- He was sure it would be in the living room)

Clue #4: Gee- I bet you didn’t think you’d have to work so hard for your birthday gift, right? Well, because you’ve worked so hard, Amber will tell you what your first gift (of 2) is. (This was a renewal of his train magazine subscription- I know, nerdy right)

Did you like it? Thought you might? Now for that second gift- hmmmm. Where could it be? Maybe in the room where our clothes are washed, dried and made clean.

The Bare Necessities

Kyle loves to sing this song- No matter how much we tell him, he will not believe us that the last word is "strife" and not "heart"

Cute Shots of Bethany

These are just some random pictures I've taken of Bethany recently.

Bethany and her "bankie" (I have to snatch it from her after she falls asleep at night to wash it)

Bethany got a tea set for Christmas- I wasn't really sure if she'd really play with it, but she loves it. Here's how she set up for our tea party a couple weeks ago.

Snow Play

A couple weeks ago we got enough snow to really go out and play and build a snowman. (We've had so much sun the last few days that the snowman is now about 10 inches tall!)
