It's snowed a bunch in the northeast today and the girls loved playing outdoors while Mommy shoveled the driveway. The snow wasn't suitable for packing so they made their own fun by setting up opposing castles and pretending to snow board and surf.
Claire loves shopkins. She gave me a little lesson this afternoon about "Radio Sue", "Peta Plant", and "Jane Frame".
We have contractors working on an interior renovation right now. Stella was sick on Friday but ready for Gymnastics Saturday morning so here's a pic of our pretty girl among our building project!

Staying home on Friday was tough because we knew both our girls were receiving 'Star Student of the Quarter' awards. The girls are doing great at school and we didn't want Stella to miss out on being honored in front of her peers. We sent her off but it wasn't long before the nurse called. We had a quiet day at home, and thanks to our tech savvy principal, we were able to watch the ceremony live by streaming it on youtube. Stella was all smiles when she heard Mr. Hirschey call her name. While Dad was there in person, Mom was glad to get to see Claire earn her award too, even it was from home. Stella was recognized for being so helpful and compassionate in the classroom, and Claire was recognized for working hard and being a good listener in P.E. class!
In the fall Stella and Mommy went on a field trip to Bonesteels Garden Center and they gave us a bulb to 'wake up' in the middle of winter. Not only was it neat to have the bulb actually blossom into a flower (we don't have the best of luck with plants at our house....) it was a welcome sight amidst all of the snow outside!
Claire-Bear is learning how to read and is so proud of herself. We are proud of her too! Here's a pic of her showing off her new found talent.
Next up...The Tri-Town Winter Carnival! There's lots of fun planned and we are looking forward to a busy winter weekend in our own community!
