Fun in the Snow

So, we tried desperately to take some quick family pictures while we were at my mom's house.  Complete.  Failure.  There wasn't even one that kind of turned out.  They all looked awful.  Sad.  One day we'll get Daniel up on our wall.  I did want to post this picture though because it just speaks volumes about these kids' personalities.  Andrew is my crazy man.  He loves to laugh and be the comedian.  Anna is the little mom.  She would take care of babies all day long if she could.  She is so gentle and nurturing.  And Mr. Daniel loves to be held...all...day...long!  And so, this picture is my kids in a nutshell.
Here are just some cute pics we took of Daniel one night.  I love these little jammies on him. 



Anna got to take home the pet penguin from school.  It's just a stuffed animal but you would have thought she had just been given a million bucks.  She was so excited.  She had to write a little report on what she did when Pete the Penguin stayed at her house.  She wrote, "Anna and Pete played in the snow.  It was fun." 
Darling!



Check out that face.  This little boy knows NO DULL MOMENT.  I am constantly amazed at what he gets into.  And even though I see him do crazy things all the time, I still often feel baffled.  Like last week when he colored with markers all over my walls and fridge, then took a bat to my Noah's Ark picture in my basement and shattered the glass while all the kids were playing.  And that was all before he poured an entire bottle of Elmer's glue all over my bills and ate a half a bag of marshmallows that he snuck out of the cabinet.  This all happened within one hour.  He might be crazy, but I sure do love him.  No one could love him more than me.  He's a nut but he's my nut, and he completely melts my heart.  Andrew often says, "Hey Mom, guess what!  I love you!".  He has such a tender side to him too.  I'm one lucky mommy. 

I know these pictures are dark and blurry but I love his little face in all of them.  We have fun with this guy!
My sweet princess got sick this weekend.  The poor girl had a throw up bug.  She was awake from 1-3 in the morning screaming hysterically and then finally puked like crazy.  After that she went right to bed.  She slept in until almost 10:00 this morning.  I stayed home with her from church and she slept for three more hours this afternoon and then crashed at 7:30.  Good news though, she is feeling much better now.  We'll see who gets it next.  She was so sweet this afternoon.  She kept saying, "Mom, I love you," like every 10 minutes.  I loved it. 
Do you think he's happy or what?
