Home bound

 Leia was happy that she confiscated a pencil and notebook :) Leia's cheeks and nose are rosy because she is sick. Our house got the flu over Christmas :/ definitely not the best time to have it all. But at least the kids were home from school. So far...Daddy, Dakota, and Leia are the only ones who are sick. Dakota is already over it. Leia and Daddy can't seem to get rid of it.

 A day before the buddies started running fever :(

Home bound these last few days, we broke out the game of Twister to see if we could burn some energy and teach the kids something new. It didn't last long. They tend to have a short attention span on this game.

Favorites

 Lily (and Leia) are constantly into Dakota's Legos. It never fails. No matter where I hide them, they are in them. I'm hoping once we have the garage finished and Dakota has his own room, that maybe, just maybe the girls will play with their own toys and not Dakota's.

 Popcorn is an all time FAVORITE snack in our house...and Leia LOVES it. She can't shove it in fast enough. She'll thank me for this picture one day. I just know it ;)

Lily LOVES to color on anything. She's colored on her siblings, walls, books (that aren't for coloring), bunkbeds, sheets..oh! you get the picture. So, when she actually colors on papers, we get excited!! Here is her latest piece of artwork just moments after stamping her sister with a blue stamp on the forehead...AHHHH!

Parties for all

 Dakota at his class Christmas party. He was happy that Dad was able to come see him at school.

 Lilyann with her classmates and her little sister. Leia really enjoyed sitting with the big kids.
