I can't believe I forgot...but wait, I can
I forgot to show you the Valentines I made.
My little V-day treats
I made these envelopes for the big kids' classmates but I also made a few for my Valentine
This one is his. Babe, if you're reading this, stop now.
K thanks.
I found some little stamps at Target. The envelopes are from Hobby Lobby.
I wrote little notes in Sean's. I put little valentine erasers in the ones for the kids.
Ooh fire. Stand back.
I've had a wax seal thingy for a long time and used to seal letters with it. I ran out of wax and kind of forgot about it until recently when I found the seal in a box of decorations. It's a heart...imagine that! Perfect for Valentines Day! I found a website that sells the wax and has free shipping so I stocked up.
Fun to do! Easy, and cheap!
It feels good to make something when I have the time. Which, thanks to four snow days last week, ahem, I did have time. And that's all I'm gonna say about that.
Except to say that we are out of school again today and probably tomorrow. Again. Ice. Snow. No driving. Again.
Since Ty has strep, (I'll spare you the details.) Well no I won't. It's bad. High fever. Won't eat. Gets cranky. Cries. Then I cry. Then the girls cry. Then we go to my mother's house. Yep that about covers it.
So thanks to another snow day and Ty's hangin-by-a-thread-ness, we are hunkered down with homemade soup and lots of toys. All you need in life, really.
Y'all have a great day!

So happy we can't stand it
People have made good points about how restless we are as a society that we have a hard time being stuck in our houses. I understand their point I really do. But I'm being honest. This was my reaction to being able to get our car out of the driveway.
I listened to the message at church yesterday and agreed with what our pastor said. We need to listen more and talk less. We should take what happened last week and realize that God allowed the storm to wipe us out and keep us still. I am admitting that while I don't always burn the candle at both ends, I really enjoy getting out of my house. And the kids do too. So basically this week I'm aware of how restless I can be but I'm enjoying the kids and doing fun things with a grateful heart. But, um, out of the house when I can. That's fair, don't you think? Ha!
Little miss got to see her first movie yesterday. She loved it for 35 minutes. Then she was done. Asked to go home. I tried to explain that you don't just leave the movie and told her to sit still and enjoy this fun outing. She looked at me like, "Really?"
Ty with his two best friends. Barney and other Barney. They're the three musketeers.
Joy was not feeling it with the snow. She kept scrunching her nose and going, "No. Cold. Go. Okay."
She, however, loved it.
Ah love again. I posted this picture yesterday but had to do it again it's just my new favorite picture.
Okay we are off to go do something fun. Not sure what yet but it'll come to me.

Love
Love is patient. Love is kind. Love keeps no record of wrongs.
Ex: Ty pushed her to the ground approximately four seconds before I took this picture but there she goes, full body huggin' him. He can do no wrong in her eyes.

Flashback Friday
I've laughed so hard I've cried looking through these pictures. I guess because they bring back some funny memories. I'm not saying you'll find them as funny but you might get a chuckle out of the last one. I'd bet money on it, in fact.
Ty at about a year old. This was one of the few pictures I have from our old house. We moved when he was 13 months old, two weeks before Charlie was born.
Ah baby Charlie
First daughter and granddaughter
Vacation to Santa Barbara when I was tired and hungry the whole time...pregnant with Joy but didn't know it yet.
Another trip, this one to Boston when I went on one of Sean's trips. It was a few weeks after CA so by now I knew I was pregnant. I had not told anyone yet, though. Well, Sean knew but neither one of us could believe it so we just kept it to ourselves. Sean thought Boston in the Fall would be a perfect place for me to tag along. He had a triple overnight there, which never happens. I decided to make the most of it and pretty much slept and ate the whole weekend. So basically I could have stayed home.
Kids first boat ride at Nattie and Popeye's house.
Miss Charlie the day I found out I was pregnant with Joy.
The day I told everybody that she was gonna be a big sister.
Carley (and Cody,), Jennie (and Joshua,), me (and Joy)
Ty at Nattie's house enjoying the resort pool
Charlie got to go to the dinner we had the day Emmy and Ethan got married last summer. She LOVED being the big kid who got to come.
And finally, proof that I once weighed as much as my husband...
I told you you'd laugh.

Snow days
We have been snowed/iced in since Monday. I never enjoyed a stretch of snow days while I was in school so I truly get how excited the kids we know are to have almost a week of them. We had one or two at best a year. I remember the sheer joy that followed seeing your school on the list on TV. It was a magical time.
Having little kids and being in the house around the clock, though, is a different story. Being inside this long without a trip in the car can cause strange things to happen.
I gave up on getting dressed on day 2. This is an outfit that Emmy would call an "I'm a mom now and I gave up," outfit.
People start picking strange places to nap.
Oh gotcha! She was pretending.
(I knew but acted surprised)
I knit a lot. This isn't strange but being able to finish things without interruption is. At night we sit by the fire and talk. I knit.
Hi I'm Mary but you can call me Ma Ingalls.
Yesterday Sean and I took turns walking to 7-11 for entertainment. He went first to make sure it was safe. Ha! That just sounds so wrong doesn't it? I sent my man out on the ice with a broken foot to make sure I wouldn't fall. We live less than a mile from 7-11 and we figured it would be open and it was. I bought some candy and chips for the kids and I managed to fit four different cereal bowls, (the plastic kind filled with cereal with a 'fill line' inside for your milk) in my coat pockets. It was 20 degrees during our outings. At times it felt colder than that though. Not that I know what colder than that really feels like.
Since I was successful at walking on ice and dodging the cars brave enough to be there, I decided to get crazy for dinner. I warmed up at home for a few hours then bundled back up. I set out at about 4 walking the other direction and went to McDonalds carrying a cooler to keep the goodies warm on the trek back. Then since that trip was successful I also went across the street to Sonic to get two Route 44 drinks. I had a drink carrier in one hand and the cooler in the other. I was pushing the limits. I wish I'd taken a picture. I will never forget my voyage into the wild to get food for my family. I felt positively invincible. Sean cried he laughed so hard when I walked in the door back at home.
The End.
Tomorrow I'll show you what I've been making for Valentines Day treats. I'm proud of them and really like what I made, mainly because I got to use glitter.
Y'all have a happy day.
