Here are a few random pics!

Gabe with Arwen's hot pink horn



Arwen's new haircut



Arwen and her new easel - she can write her name!



Gabe, eating the eraser - hehehe

Where is Gabe?

This happened a few days ago - I let Gabe out of my sight for about 1 1/2 minutes to put some clothes in the dryer. When I came out, I couldn't find him. I walked into my closet (which thank GOODNESS I just cleaned out a few weeks before) and heard laughing. I saw this...



Notice the little white "foot" at the bottom. I called his name and he stuck his head out...



He said, "HEY!"

How cute is that????

Snow Bunnies!

My kids had me outside at 8:00am this morning to play in the snow. This was Arwen's first real snow (except for a few flakes when she was about 1 year old). It was Gabe's first snow ever. They both had a ball! Gabe kept running around saying, "no...no...meow...meow...woof..." - I guess a combination of the snow and the dogs outside set him into overdrive. heh.



Arwen loved letting the snow fall on her tongue.



She wanted to make a snowman and snow angel, but I told her we had to wait until a bit more was on the ground. I guess that picture is to come!

Erika, if you are reading this, I know it is NOTHING compared to the avalanches you get hehehe, but it is a good start here down south! :)

Colds suck

Both Arwen and Gabe have a cough...due to cold...That's all I have to say about that.

Say what?

I haven't signed on to brag on my children in a while, so here goes...

Gabe is able to say several words now! He can now say mama, daddy, more (he can even sign more!), uh-oh, and his newest word is baby! He is so incredibly cute.

Arwen is almost completely writing her name now - except she still insists on writing her "w" as a "m" - I know that it is fine for her to do that, but it still makes me wonder why she does that - especially since she knows "m" and "w"...oh well.

Other than that, things are pretty calm for now. I end this class on Monday and start another class on Tuesday...at least I will be in there with one of my previous teammates and new friends - that will make it much better than the previous few!

What?!?!

I have been in school working on my Master's in Early Childhood Education for almost a year. In that time, I have made all A's in my core courses. The only B I have made was in some little intro course on APA formatting that revolved heavily on teamwork.

I am in a course now that also focuses on APA formatting (the prep. course to my thesis) and I am struggling to keep my head above water! What in the world is going on???

So evidently, I am well on my way to "mastering" the early childhood course, but the very basic ones are giving me fits????

hummmmmmmm....that one will make you think.......
