Princess and the Frog

I haven't quite figured out what it is about these frog legs, but she ADORES them. Literally, you put her on the floor and she will find this frog. She'll grab both of his legs and hold them. Sometimes she'll put them in one hand and with the other, run her finger over the tip of the toes. Love this kid

Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

It's not very often that we see snow in Tucson. In fact, we haven't seen it EVER since we've lived here. That being said, I was extremely shocked to look out my windows and see white flakes falling from the sky. I grabbed my camera thinking no one would ever believe me, and started snapping pictures! I then thought to myself "Hmmm, should I go get Sydney out of school?" Crazy thought, right? What kind of parent would take her child out of school simply because it's snowing? I laughed at myself, but then felt sad, wondering if she would get to see it or play in it. Growing up in Chicago, snow was something we grew tired of. One of the many reasons we moved out to Tucson. I would've never believed you back then if you tried to tell my my children wouldn't be familiar with snow at all. I went back to work until it was time to pick Sydney up. It was almost a ghost town there. Apparently all the other parents took their kids out of school!!! Ugh, I'm a bad mom. Sydney said "Mom!! Why didn't you come get me? All the other parents came!" We came home and THANKFULLY it started to snow again. This time much wetter, but she didn't care. I told her to head out into the yard and have fun!

It was coming down so hard, I couldn't even see the next street over!

Valentine's Day 2013

Sleep deprived and all, Valentine's Day still arrived. Sydney was pretty excited to run out and see what cupid brought for her. It's also exciting to be able to open two sets of gifts since baby sister doesn't know how to open presents yet!

Sydney's School Valentines

Sydney really wanted to help create her Valentines for school this year so we decided to make some chocolate rings. She picked all of the colors for each. Watch out, because if she doesn't like you, she picked boy colors for you.

Seeing Red

Sydney told her Lala that she wanted a new blanket and asked if she would make her one. The answer was "of course!" Off they went to the store where Sydney picked out a sparkly red and purple yarn. Lala finished it extremely fast, like she always does and that makes for one extremely appreciative girl!

Bibs and School

Addison has been a drooling maniac lately! Teething or just an excessive saliva problem?

Sydney wanted to teach us all about what she did at school today. Pay attention class!
