Mixing with Mimi

Andrew was helping Mimi make pudding for dessert. There was some mixing... but probably more licking of the spoon once complete!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Adrienne made the kids green pancakes with green milk!  She texted me this picture while I was in Houston for the week.  Daddy forgot to dress Andrew in green... hope he didn't get pinched!

A week with Aurora!

After mom's two week visit, I stayed with Karl & Audrey for a week. Since I work remote it was easy to visit without having to take time off work. Josh was able to leave work early a few times that week to get to daycare in time before they close.

3 weeks old!

Last day with Lady A... :(

I sure missed my Andy the whole week. So glad to see him!

Painting with a Twist

Jackie asked me if I would like to do Painting with a Twist. I have always wanted to try it, but I have little art skill. However, I have seen plenty of below average art skilled friends complete one and it always turns out very similar to the painting. So I agreed. She treated me to the event one night shortly after my birthday.

The paintings turned out great!  Can't believe we did it in just a couple hours!  Disclaimer... they did trace the Texas shape on the canvas... otherwise who knows how it might have turned out!!!

Pre-painting scared face!

 

Finished product!

Actual Painting for the evening...

Spring Break Visitors

Nana, Papa and Mary visited us for a week while on spring break. We celebrated mine and Jeanna's birthday, I taught Jeanna how to make a deco-mesh wreath after I gifted one to her, they visited IKEA, and we played lots of games - monopoly, skipbo, rummikub, and dominoes.

 

Puzzling with Poppa

Record Snowfall in North Texas!

We received about six inches of snow overnight. The DFW region got anywhere from 4-7 inches which was a record setting snowfall.

Front Yard!

Back yard!

We had more snow than our relatives up north! 

Our yard is pictured on the top and Aunt Jenny's is on the bottom!

Craziness!!!

Bundled up and ready to play!

Daddy starting to build a snowman. With no gloves, he quit quickly! LOL

 

Andrew took over... kind of!

Uncle Dwight taught Josh how to shovel a driveway when we were up there during Thanksgiving. Clearly, Josh needs another lesson!  HAHAHAHA

Andrew has never played in the snow before. He wasn't feeling 100% that day, but I decided to let him play outside for 10 minutes anyways!  The snow was going to be gone by the afternoon and probably won't be until next year before we get any again.

Believe it or not, the snow was gone that evening with the exception of shady spots. I think it got up to 60 degrees.
