-CK Spelling Word Week

Last week, the 3rd grade studied spelling words that ended in the letters -CK.....you know the ones...sack, tack, pack......
Fortunately for us at the end of every spelling test the teacher asks the kids to make up their own sentence using a spelling word or two from their list......OK! Here comes the fortunate part....

Hallie really likes words that end in -CK and used a couple of them in her sentence just as instructed:

"My dad wipes his black crack." ..... wrote my little Spelling Bee ever so precisely.

Not sure if "Dad or his black crack" will be able to make it to 3rd grade Open House next week?! I'm pretty sure he thinks the teacher might just crack up when she sees him or throw a wise crack his way!

Things I Have Let Go This Winter......

Apparently, the ceiling fans. But who would ever know if I just leave them running?
Let's just call it leftover snow!?



Most of our closets, but again...who would know if I just kept the door and my mouth shut?





Obviously, my waistline....but really, Hoodies and sweats aren't that hot during a Texas summer, who needs a swimsuit or shorts? (Sorry to disappoint, but no photos of the waistline!)


Blogging......I'm having to catch up a month's worth of memories, because I was just to lazy to type.....BUT then again, who cares, I took pictures.


Reading......the last book I read was "The Lovely Bones" and that freaked me out so much I've just stuck with my US Weekly, The Kardashians are scary enough!


So before March creeps out of here as fast as it crept up on me..I gotta get movin!
Time to tackle those fans, brave my way into those closets, and crunch those abs....
I've got Spring Fever!!

Snow..Snow..and even more SNOW!!

WE LOVE SNOW!!

We have had so much fun this winter! Living in Texas my whole life I have never seen this much snow!!

We have jumped in the snow....

built snowmen without pants in the snow....

hid our little Yorkie in the snow....

played in the snow at school...
before getting in trouble by the principal for playing in the snow at school.....




We have measured the snow.......



















gone tubing in the snow....






















made snow angels in the snow...........



















Even ate the snow in the form of "snow ice cream" and being from Texas I did have to google! ....

















But now that I am about 12lbs heavier from all the eating I've done because of the snow....I'm ready to bid farewell to Frosty and say hello to some good ole' Texas Heat!!

Bring on the flip-flops!

(just maybe not the swimsuits yet)!

In Love with Another....

Meet Mr. Einstein! Glen's new little friend!

Einstein is Hallie's 3rd grade class pet.

He needed a place to stay for a while and we are happy to open up our home to this feathery little fella for as long as he needs a place to cozy up to at night. That cozy place is mostly right on Glen's face! Mr. Einstein goes crazy in his cage when he sees Glen come home and can't wait to be let out so he can snuggle up to his friend!

Personally, I think it's kinda cute that he's in love with another.....

as long as "the other" has feathers!

It took a month but....

but here is one of the little petits fours that the girls and I made for Valentines! Turned out pretty cute and so did the photgraph that Riley took of it, (liking the button backdrop Ms. Riley...creative)! ;)

I've been on a month "blog hiatus", now its time for some catching up...it has really been a busy & super fun month! We've had snowfall here like we've never seen before! Tomorrow I'll talk about "someone being in love with another"!! We've had a houseguest this month and Glen has totally fallen head over heels.......Stay tuned!

Trying to be Martha MckMama!

Valentines Day is just around the corner and I plan to use the blog world to my advantage...copying is the best form of flattery right?

Check out http://www.mycharmingkids.net and see the cutest little Valentine's petits fours you have laid your eyes on! I'm going to give them a try this weekend! I just bet they don't turn out as cute and neither will my pics I try to post of them...MckMama is the most awesome photographer I have ever come across! She makes me want to be crafty in the kitchen and go to photography school! Dang!!

Blessed Birthday!

Sunday was a birthday to remember!

Hallie turned 9 years old and followed Christ in believer's baptism! We are so proud of her and the little lady that she is becoming! I am so excited to be blessed with such a unique little 9 year old daughter, AND have her as my awesome Sister in Christ as well!
