It's cold and has been snowing for almost a week. Only about an inch or two a day, but none the less, we have cabin fever during these long days of winter. Here are some pictures from the last week, most of them taken at home because that's where we spend most of our day.
Zachary helping Daddy make a "Smoothie Shake". The kids are addicted. We have a Magic Bullet, and we make smoothies a couple times a week. Frozen fruit, sometimes a vegetable, milk, and ice and you have a treat that the kids go out of their minds for. I am not kidding when I say that Zach can suck his 8 or 12 ounce "smoothie shake" down in 3 minutes flat. It's amazing and we laugh every time.

One of the neighbor boys, Bryce, has been spending time at our house the last few weeks. His mom is my age and is on a kidney transplant list. She's been a Type 1 diabetic since the age of 9 and has been on dialysis for several weeks. The neighborhood families have teamed together to cook dinners and help with childcare for Bryce. We have been praying for their family as I can't imagine the struggle they are facing. Helaina has enjoyed an extra playmate though!
Zachary hugging his sister while she has a meltdown about something. As wild as he is, Zach is quite a sweet boy.
Reading books in the corner...Zachary can't let go of his basketball and football long enough to hold a book so sissy reads to him.
Bananas for breakfast.
Zach with his new, shorter haircut. No clothes as we're also starting the potty training process. Not much success but I'm taking the slow and steady approach in hopes that one day it will just "click."
Helaina making a train out of our kitchen chairs. Just the right spot to lay back and watch some cartoons.
Helaina playing "mommy" and putting her "baby" to sleep. She's lucky Zach was cooperative that day.
Cartoons before lunch. Love these sweet kiddos!
