$300

This is what you can get for about $300 nowadays... Kids not included. We got 2 new carseats that will eventually turn into booster seats for Lucas, as in about a month, Charlotte will move out of her infant seat and into the seats Lucas currently uses.

Snowground

Itching to get out of the house this morning, we had the bright idea to go to a local park... Certainly, the snow would be mostly melted and we could play and walk the trails to the duck pond, right??? Wrong! We were one of the few nuts out there :) The walk from car to playground was all snow, the playground was all snow, and the equipment was slushy. That didn't stop Lucas though... until he fell one too many times too close to nap time and cried that his bum-bum (what he calls his butt now???) hurt.

Also, for the record, today was the first time Charlotte wore shoes out of the house!!!

Lucas or Lucia?

Sometimes we swear Lucas could be a girl... With his pretty eyes and face, some longer hair could make him pretty girly.... Sometimes he talks of being a princess... Well, last Friday we went to dinner with Mommom and Pop. He insisted on wearing these headbands of Charlotte's. At first, he put them on and said it was time to play basketball (as if they were sweatbands). But, when it was time for dinner out, he didn't want to take them off. So, we compromised! He got to wear the manly blue one, but had to take the girly purple bow off :)

Sleeping Beauty

Cousins

Lily and Nathan came over last Saturday to hang out and have dinner... It was cute seeing the 4 cousins playing together - I'll bet they'll be the best of friends for years to come!

MyGym revisited

Yesterday after work, we went to MyGym for a free-play session. Lucas' last class there ended last May and we haven't been back since. He is soooo much faster and better at using the equipment now. And God forbid we try to help him use anything... There would be shouts of "I'LL DO IT ALL BY MYSELF!!!" Lottie even got to play a little! Not the greatest quality pics, but better than nothing :)

It never gets old...

Happy Valentine's Day!

To celebrate Valentine's Day, we went somewhere super romantic... The Air and Space museum in Chantilly, VA :)

Thursday Funday!

Because of Wednesday's big snow, everyone in the world it seemed was home on Thursday. Everyone was out shoveling, chatting, and playing. It was like a snowy block party! There's a house almost across the street that has 3 little boys - ages 7, 5, and 2. For the first time we got to meet them. Lucas had a blast playing, and the next thing we knew - we'd been out there for 4 hours!

Round 2

Well, we got another barrage of snow AGAIN earlier this week. It started snowing Tuesday evening around dusk, and then ALL day Wednesday. There was ANOTHER blizzard warning in effect, so at times it got pretty windy. Didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves though!

From under the carport (using all the snow he shoveled off the flat roof), Daddy made an igloo...
