POOR BONNY!

Wearing a "cone of shame" for a little while as her nose abscess heals...

Back to the park

We're loving our almost spring weather! Louisa is finally able to join the fun at the school park...

 "look ma, all by myself!"

Swimming lessons

The girls will be taking swim lessons this spring in anticipation of lots of pool time this summer :) Cora's in a class by herself and Emi will be taking with Daddy.

 Getting used to the water

Working on back floats

STILL no school

Today we still had no school, but there is no ice anywhere and it's not snowing, so we broke the cabin fever! We went to story time at the library...

 Today's topic was birds and nests...

Their very own nests and eggs to bring home :) 

Fat Tuesday

Our day started with jelly donuts (no packznis in the mid-South)...

and ended with the last beer for 40 days…

Game on!

Snow Dayzzz

So we have more days off of school because of the frigid weather and, um, not quite an inch of snow. I suppose it's better called "ice days," because the ice on the roads is really the cause of the cancellation. I guess they don't have salt trucks down here… We're coping but getting some cabin fever, indeed. Fingers crossed for at least one day of school this week (before spring break begins…)

The BIG snow, ha ha

 "The Girls Madea" band

 Easel time --- Emi paints "the whole family but daddy at work"

 Cora paints the yard with snowmen and blue snowflakes

 Team effort building a castle, gate and backyard dog house

Pedicure time!

 A vast choice of colors

 Weee, bubbles! I guess we added a bit too much soap!!?

Voila!

Kid's art

Here is a sample of art projects by Cora and Emi...

 Cora made this in Sunday School and it's pictures of how she can help… By walking the dogs, picking up balls in the yard and putting them in their orange bin, making her bed and cleaning up and sweeping with a broom

 This outline of Emi was done at school, Cora decided to color it in and accessorize!

Cora's preschool is studying DaVinci this month and this is her painting of the Mona Lisa
