February Happenings!

We had a great February full of fun and growth. Above is a picture of Samantha dressed up as a ballerina dancing around the house. She then put the TUTU on Hunter but somehow I missed getting a picture or just can't find it or Stephan deleted it! Definitely one of those! a few things said by Samantha the last couple of months. "Mom am I just so smart because I reminded you and your just not very smart cause you forgot?" speaking to a little 18 month old girl that we babysit " Hi Gracie. You can call me Cinderella Sammy Ladybug today. Can you say that?"
Puzzles have always been extra hard for Samantha. I don't know why? Maybe we didn't do them enough when she was younger? Anyways she was pretty distressed when her pre school friends did her dinosaur puzzle and she couldn't so I told her we would practice together. This is Samantha by the puzzle that she and I finished. She was very proud.
Hunter finds no greater joy than to hang out in the office while Dad works. He likes to reach up and type on his adding machine. He loves to run grab Dad's cell phone anytime it makes a sound. He can hear it from anywhere in the house and will stop whatever he is doing and run yelling I wah! I wah! I think he is saying "I want" but I'm not totally sure.

He also loves putting on hats he took to Samantha's pink hat and her Princess Wallet for about a day. He is always putting different hats on and running around the house. The other day Samantha wanted to put lipstick and a headband on because "I just want to look like you mommy." Hunter was not happy and so he found a headband and a purse and we all left the house with both my kids looking like me. Until Stephan took the headband from Hunter. Hunters little antics are pretty funny .
We decorated Cookies for Valentine's Day! Always a favorite for my kids. I just love Hunter's big Brown eyes.
Samantha used a ton of sprinkles and had a blast with her friend who we invited over to help decorate the cookies.
Sorry this picture is sideways. Way to technical for me to fix it. This is Samantha having a "camp out" in our Living Room. She loves camping and asks Stephan every night if it is camping season yet. Funny thing is when we actually go camping she is full of complaints to tired to hike and just wants to eat s'mores. But we do always have a great time. I have had a lot of fun with the kids this month. I feel like my patience has grown tremendously for Hunter and I am truly enjoying him now. It is so nice. This has largely happened since I found a parenting blog that has given me a lot of incite. Here is the link... http://askingjane.blogspot.com/ or just click on my button on the right. I sure love my family and am thankful everyday for them!
