One of my biggest joys of parenting is to look outside and see my three kiddos playing together. Nothing warms a mama's heart more on a bitter cold day.

Homemade Play Doh
So what do you do on a Sunday morning when your stomach is still a little sketchy from the bug and you can't go to church? You make Play Doh with your littles.

Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
These are a favorite in our house. Which means that I get a lot of help making them. Which is nice, but not always the most efficient...

Igloo
Yesterday was a snow day. Daddy decided to build an igloo. My kids have the best Daddy in the world.

Ouch
Hailey went to the doctor today for her well check up. She asked me this morning if the doctor was going to give her any shots. I told her that I didn't know for sure, but I didn't think so.
Turns out her mama was a liar. She had to get FIVE shots. The poor little thing didn't cry at all during the first one, but was screaming before it was all over.

Rare moment
These two can fight likes cats and dogs. But every once in a while their relationship takes me by surprise. Tonight is one of those nights.

Comfort
It is no secret that Evan likes to be comfortable. I always chuckle when he gets these jammies out. They make him look so much younger than he is.
By the way, this was taken at around 2:30 in the afternoon.

8 am
This morning after taking the boys to the bus stop, Hailey and I did a bit of shoveling in the driveway.
Note to self: Put make up on before going to the bus stop.

Trapper
Can you stand the cuteness?
All decked out in her new fur vest and sparkly gray jeans that she got from Grama for her birthday.
And her belly hanging out of her turtleneck because she is so darn long waisted!

Sicky Monkey
Poor little Gooey was home from school today with the barfing flu. He also was showing some signs of constipation (what is it with my boys these days?).
On the positive side - while he was laying in his bed feeling yucky I went through all the books in his book shelf and he let me get rid of about half of them.

This morning...
Hailey eating yogurt. Evan biting into his banana chocolate chip muffin. Spencer waiting for his waffles to pop up.
They are not huge breakfast food fans. They come by it honest - I am not a huge breakfast food fan. Most days I eat a bowl of cereal - or a banana chocolate chip muffin with peanut butter on it if I made any. Yum.
Hailey usually tells me she wants a bowl of cereal when I am pouring mine. Then she proceeds to eat throughout the morning. I am not sure if the boys are starving by the time lunch rolls around or not. I have to think not, because most days they come home with half the lunch I packed them.

Sugar overload
Today we made cupcakes for Hailey to bring to school tomorrow for her birthday treat. Yesterday I made "birthday brownies" because we had two sets of Grandparents coming over for dinner and I didn't want to offer them dessert in the form of a half eaten birthday cake from the day before. Turns out they all wanted half eaten birthday cake from the day before.
I will be happy to not see my beaters for a while now.

Snowflakes
All day it has been snowing. Big, puffy, pretty snowflakes. When Hailey got home from school she wanted to try to catch some on her tongue.

Captive
We took Dickens into the vet today. He was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and crystals in his urine. When I took Evan to the doctor on Monday it cost me five dollars. Today I wrote a check for almost one hundred and fifty dollars. It's a good thing we love him.
P.S. Now I get to add "checking for cat straining while urinating" to my list of Mom jobs. It's a classy gig I got here.

Starting the year off with a "pang"
Evan has been complaining that his belly has hurt on and off since Saturday. Today I asked him if it hurt bad enough to go to the doctor - fully expecting him to say no. He said it did hurt that bad - so off to the doctor we went. The doctor doesn't think it is a blockage or appendicitis or anything "surgical". At this point he is thinking constipation (though Evan has gone poop since it all started). He prescribed three scoops of Miralax in some Gatorade and call him in a few days if the pain continues.
I never realized that your kids' poop was such a huge part of parenting. It seems like I am forever telling them to poop, or coaching them through a poop or breaking up poop with a plastic cat litter scoop looking for a penny. The poop never ends.

The Big Top
One of Evan's life long dreams came to fruition today with the help of one of his Christmas gifts from Santa. Giant cupcake! Unfortunately his belly was hurting him during and after dinner so he didn't even want to eat any of it. He went to bed with his aching belly and we talked a bit. I think he is feeling apprehension about going back to school tomorrow. Bless his heart (and his belly!)
