Snowbound

We had a windy snowy night. Weather.com estimates that Bolingbrook received 14.5 inches of snow in the last 24 hours.

The snow has all drifted to our side of the street. Jon is home shoveling, but not making much progress as it is still pretty windy.

Lucy did my exercise video with me. I have been going to the gym M W and F, and haven't missed a day since Jan 1. This is the year of NO EXCUSES!!!

Maggie enjoys a good bowl of cereal.

Where is Bruce Spruce.

They have gotten out the big guns for plowing.

Even when they are still, they are moving

Pouring over a movie club brochure that came in the mail

Classic Maggie

If you ask Maggie what color something is she usually answers RED no matter what the color. Sometimes she will respond with TWO.

Maggie made this cool Ground Hog mask at Puddle Jumpers today. I then helped Lucy create a similar one because she liked Maggie's so much.

They have already cancelled school for tomorrow. It is cold, windy, and the snow has just started here. We are supposed to get 18-24 inches in the next 24 hours.

MDA Hop-A-Thon

Lucy is going to participate in a Hop-A-Thon this Friday.

Maggie has already pledged her support, won't you too?

Lucy is really exited about getting to hop!

Style Me

If Lucy walks up to you with a ribbon in her hand and says, "Style me" she expects you to tie it around her head like this. She does not want you to:
1. Put it under her hair and make a bow at the top.
2. Tie it around her waist
3. Make a braid using the ribbon and her hair
4. Stuff it in the back of her pants to make a tail

Maggie has to have Abigail in her bed to sleep and Mommy has to give Abigail a kiss goodnight too. If I don't Maggie pops up and yells, "Kiss Abigail!!!" until the baby is properly tucked in.

1st Position

Last Thursday Maggie decided we were having a party at play group and insisted on wearing a dress.

Lucy and Maggie recieved this fun beach globe in the mail from Great-Grandparents Brown. Lucy had a lot of fun pretending our tan carpet was sand and hitting the ball around.

Lucy had her first Creative Movements class this morning. She had a lot of fun. Mommy missed the note that they were supposed to have ballet slippers. We picked up some white ones on the way home. Come to find out they have to be pink for the Concert May 15th. Sometimes I can't win.

When we got home Lucy was the teacher and Maggie the student.

Crumb Fun

The other day Lucy thought it was hilarious to change our last name to "Crumb." She decided this after Daddy complained about always having to sweep up crumbs.

We rang in the New Year by having a slumber party in the playroom. The girls tired out at 9:30 and asked to go sleep in their beds. Happy 2011!!!!

Reading Dr. Seuss

Watching TV from the couch bed

I finally unloaded some nicknacks (mostly candle holders and vases) that have been packed up since our Columbia days. They were wrapped in wedding tissue paper. The girls had a couple of days of fun playing with the paper.

The mustang is back on all fours!!

One Tractor, One Tractor

The Palace doubles as the Project Office

Lucy wants to talk to Mommy

Cheese, this is yummy milk

Earlier Jon was telling me how he needed an adapter, but they didn't have the one he wanted, so he had to get two adapters, but they were out of one, so he will have to go to another store to get the other adapter. Maggie interupted this story with her version, "One tractor, one tractor"
