Snow Fun!!

When it snows, it is minimal here in Germany. So, when it was a decent amount, enough to have fun out in the backyard, we layered up and played in the snow. Brenne was fascinated by the white stuff and put some in her mouth right away. She did not stay happy for long though; her gloves kept coming off and her fingers were getting cold. She then went for a nap so Layne, Liam and I built a snowman. It was a fun morning. Although not pictured, we did make another snowwoman.

Happy Valentine's Day

The kids had great Valentine's Day parties at their schools and enjoyed treats at home. Layne and I made 'play clay' for her classmates. We also made chocolate covered strawberries for her snack to bring to school. With the leftover chocolate I made some chocolate covered cherries and made some of them look like mice, but I have another recipe for chocolate mice I would like to try some time. The kids also made homemade cards instead of the traditional character cards from the store and enjoyed the compliments from their classmates.

Being entertained

We have just been doing our normal fun activities at home, so there hasn't been much to update on since Layne's birthday. It has snowed a few times, so carefully, I have the kids sitting at an open window and playing catch the snowflakes with cups. It doesn't last very long because it starts to get cold.

Right now, Brenne loves to spin around on the computer chair and dance her body to music. She is very talkative with her sounds and babbles and absolutely loves to play with Layne and Liam, especially being chased around the house.
