Taking one day at a time

We are definitely ready for some warmer weather and for SUN!! In the meantime, we've been keeping ourselves busy....I love this picture! We bought a much needed new dining room table recently and Cooper had to be right with his Dad putting it up. He had so much fun being right there and "helping":) Let's just say it may have taken Matt a bit longer than planned:)We have made our way outside for some more family fun in the snow! The process of getting everybody ready has gotten much easier now that we've done it several times. You may remember from a previous blog that we were pulling our kids around in the snow in a red wagon...well the kids now know what sled riding is really suppose to be like. They loved being pulled around in the yard in the new sled and playing in the 3-tiered fort Daddy made!!

Ava and I have just finished the Letter A week. I found this free program that is printable online that teaches a letter each week. She loves to color, make, bake, read books, etc. and I really thought she would love doing something like this. Needless to say, I am doing a much smaller scale than what's online and it wasn't a lot of work for Mommy and seemed to be a lot of fun for her (and Cooper of course). So on Friday to complete our A week we made an apple pie....learning doesn't have to be all about reading, writing and arithmetic, right?

Vacuuming....some said turn on the vacuum and your kids will love the sound and put them to sleep...not ours! Ava was super scared of it when she was younger and Cooper well...he really has this love hate relationship with it. I wish you could see him....he gets out his little vacuum and stays on the other side of the room as Matt while he sweeps and the minute Matt moves toward his way, he is off and running to the other room with the vacuum in hand:)
