A Real Snow Day

We’ve had so many false snow days called this year that it’s comical, but this week finally delivered a foot of snow and a legit snow day!

Threenager Going On Four

“My office is hopelessly full.”

————

Me: I have a special plate for you today! It says happy Valentine’s Day!

Levi: NOOOOOOO! That’s not the right plate! It’s too big! I don’t like the color!

Me: It’s what we’re using today. What would you like on it?

Levi: Nothing! It’s not the right plate! 

After a huge fit…

Plate? What plate?

———-

Me: [holding up my foot] I think I have a hole in my sock. 

Will you check for me? 

Levi: oh yeah! You do. 

Me: I thought so. It feels different. 

Levi: you can fix it! You just need the right ingredients. 

Me: ingredients? Which ones?

Levi: ice cream. 

Valentines’ Day

Levi and I made a bunch of valentines for fun while I told him the story of Valentine’s Day. He had his own idea on how to play with the hearts. 

He ended up giving all the valentines to his friends!

He was not happy about the special Valentine’s Day plates because they were too big and not the right color. After a hefty fit, he ate his lunch anyway. 

He told us he got some “five dolla monies” in his Valentine form G&G, and he wanted to buy some little trucks with it. 
So we went to Target and he picked out two new little trucks. Every time he does this, it makes the whole set new again. 

The boys came home from school with tons of treats and did their trading. 



Grandma Kathleen stopped by with more goodies and stayed for dinner. 



Of course, we had heart shaped pizzas!

Augustine and Lewis made these cute picture frames when they were in kindergarden, but Elias wasn’t going to be making one this year since we switched schools. I like them so much that I decided to have him make the matching one here at home. I still need to find random puzzle pieces and put the “I love you to pieces“ note on the back. Logan brought me the flower. 

The Fiddleback

Elias really wanted a fiddleback vestment, so Grandma Susan worked her magic to make it happen. They worked together on it over a long weekend. It turned out beautifully!

Then he wanted a humeral, so she made that too. So much fancy material. 

Trains

We haven’t really had them out since Levi turned 3 so they were reeeealy fun for him!

Weekend at Beth & Katie’s

We spent another fun weekend with Beth and Katie. Turns out it’s a fun weekend getaway in the winter. 

We brought the snow in, and had a little friend joining us too! The boys LOVED her. 

Smurf house…we had just watched the movie. I showed the boys some of the old cartoons (which I loved as a kid) and they were not impressed. 





They played for a long time in the playhouse too. 

When all the littles were asleep I made Ted Lasso biscuits and introduced Beth and Katie to the series. They finished both seasons within a few weeks! Just in time for season 3 next month! Woot!

Happy Birthday

I’ve been friends with Debbie for 20 years and for the first time I got to celebrate her birthday with her! Her daughter organized a lovely brunch at one of my favorite brunch spots. 

I gave her cinnamon rolls and some holiday things to switch out on our matching front door wreaths. It was a fun morning!

Lego League

Cathedral has three LL teams this year. They’ve been meeting since September to prepare for competition. 

We went to their open house to see what they’ve been working so hard on. 



Their first competition went really well and all three Cathedral teams made it to state!

Well done, Augustine!
