Happy Valentine's Day!

We hope all of our friends and family had a happy Valentine's Day!  We are sending good thoughts to all!  Ayson was getting ready for his "100 Day of School" party on Wednesday and then his Valentine's Day Party on Friday.  Addie is doing great too.  She is such a little sponge and soaks up everything Ayson is learning. She can already count past 10 and knows her numbers and many of her letters.She is much more cautious and careful than her big brother.  Now we just need to work more on her listening skills :)

Ayson writing out his Valentine's Day cards with Mommy's help.


Ayson reading his latest school book to Daddy (reading the book for the first time...).  Great Job, Big Guy!


On Thursday, Sunshine, Mikhan, and Khanlen came over for a short visit.  (Sunshine was sorting through size three girl clothes.)


Ayson's Valentine's Day Party.  Luckily, Mommy was able to attend Ayson's party AND Ayson was excited to have Mommy there!  Mommy was trying to get a picture of Ayson's GREEN mouth but Ayson would not cooperate.


Friday night game night: "Count Your Chickens" (No pictures of Ayson as he did not want to play).




A fun game and EVERYONE is a winner in this cooperative game.  Mommy did not know until reading the box that the game is made out of recycled material!  Very cool!


Daddy made a pot pie on Saturday (Mommy's favorite comfort food.  Yum!).


Ayson finally showing Mommy another candy colored mouth :)


The kiddos "horsing around"


The kiddos opening their Valentine's Cards from Grandma Pat and Grandpa Roger, Grandpa Chuck and Pama, and Mommy and Daddy on Sunday.  Gianna and her Mom stopped by to give the kids Valentine's gifts too...SO thoughtful!  Thanks everyone!


The kiddos listening to their music cards (Atomic Dog by George Clinton :)


On Valentines Day, Neighbor Denise offered to come over and watch the kiddos so that Mommy and Daddy could go out to brunch.  We had a great time at brunch and then explored Skaneateles a bit. Thanks, Denise!  The kids had a great time playing with Denise and would NOT stop talking about it!!!!


A bit a Ayson's school work:




All year has been gearing up to the 100 day mark




A picture that Ayson drew.  Ayson would not tell Mommy who was in the picture....
