Every Sunday morning, Jermie is in charge of blow drying Bethany's hair. She sits on the sink while he patiently round brushes all of her hair. It's very sweet. One of these days I'll take a picture of the "Daddy Salon" and post.

Ice Storm
On Tuesday, we had a big ice storm and no school. There was a thick coat of ice covering everything. We enjoyed a day home extending our 3 day weekend to 4.
Manassas Battlefield
Last week we went to the Manassas Battlefield. It was really cool- The boys liked the cannons.
There was also a big statue of Stonewall Jackson (apparently, the Battle of Manassas is where he got his nickname)

Old Navy Deals
Here's what I got today at Old Navy3 pairs of flip flops 28 cents each
Mini Soccer ball: $1.49
Mini Playground Balls (2): $.89/each
Pizza Halloween Costume (Kyle insisted): 58 cents
Blue and Green Waffle Hoodie: $1.79
Red Striped Shirt: $2.39

I plan to put the balls in the Easter baskets for the kids and use the red striped shirt for Valentine's Day. I couldn't believe the Flip Flops for 28 cents and they had so many (probably 10 different patterns)- I bought all the ones they had in Bethany's size.
Anyway, not a bad shopping trip!

Botanical Gardens
Our last day of school before Christmas break was a half day so we decided to go to the Botanical Gardens in DC in the afternoon. We absolutely loved it! They had some huge beautifully decorated Christmas trees and an amazing train exhibit. The kids also liked seeing all the tropical fruits (like pineapples and mangoes) growing in the big greenhouse.
Inside the train exhibit
There are replicas of all the landmarks in DC in the botanical gardens. They're all made out of natural materials like tree bark and leaves.
