Clark Family and Valentine's Day Random Photos

Uncle Gary showing Joey a fun video.


Joey stole Sydney's hat.



Valentine's Day was spent prepping for Kaleb's big day.  But we did have a festive breakfast of Corn Pops in heart shaped bowls.



I made heart shaped, pink milk ice cubes, then floated them in their milk.  Rachel loved it.


Rachel had a Valentine's Day Party at preschool so I made a heart with her hair.  We received comments everywhere we went.

February 12th

"Good Morning!"


"Do I HAVE to get my hair fixed?"


Breakfast


Waiting to go to preschool.


Rachel is at preschool for 2 hours.  But Joey easily finds ways to entertain himself.



"Daddy!  Where are you?!"


"Can I come downstairs?  PLEASE?"


"Okay, then will you let me do your hair?"


I get some potato and corn chowder with sausage started in the crockpot.


Yum!


Joseph plays at my feet.


The heater stopped working.


Joseph and I went to pick up the kids from preschool.


Rachel is always happy to see us.


This is Eliza.  Eliza's mom takes the girls to preschool and I pick them up.  On Thursday we add Gavin to the mix.  I LOVE listening to these kids talking and laughing in the backseat.


Rachel walked into the kitchen, plopped down on the floor and began making a snow angel on the kitchen floor.


I let the kids watch TV while I finished my craft project.  It should have a sign that says "barefeet welcome."


Once Joseph went down for his nap Rachel and I tracked down the part Doug needed to fix the furnace.  Can I just say that I am SO glad Doug is on my team.  He had it up and running in no time.


Then Doug watched the kids while I took soup to a neighbor in distress.

I fed the kids cold cereal for dinner. (Joe and I had eaten soup earlier)  Doug grabbed something to snack on while he raced to prepare the basement for our incoming guests.
 


We were all trying to clean up as fast as we could.  I love how clean the house gets when company comes.



Finally the anticipated time arrived.  I drove to the airport to pick up are VIPs. It was fun having family here. 


Nanette is one of my best friends.  Isn't that the definition of sister?


Nanette's son Kaleb (my nephew) married Hilary on Valentine's Day.  Isn't that romantic?!  At various times throughout the week we had Matt and Carrie and Erika stay with us.  Rebecca, Joe and Kaleb all came by at one time or another.  What a wonderful day/week.

Snow Fun

Nanette, Gary and Sydney flew in from Texas for Kaleb's wedding.  Syd could hardly wait to get out in the snow.  Gary was great and took all the kids out.

Joe had new snow clothes and just liked wandering around.
 

"Hi Mom."


Syd was quick to start on her snowman masterpiece.


Rachel took on a more supervisory role, watching from above.


I have a really cool snowman kit.  Would I be able to find it on this day.  Not a chance.  So Syd used a couple of twigs she found in the yard.  I gave her some rocks as coal stand ins.


A carrot stick, some winter wear and some rosy cheeks round out this beautiful snowman.


We put some food coloring and water in a spray bottle to get those cute cheeks.



"Uncle Gary is the best."

Christmas Eve

The family got together to have dinner, sing songs, talk, and  listen to the Christmas story.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


 
 
 

 

We all got new pajamas.  Rachel helped pick hers out.
 

 I love the dancing princesses.
 

Rachel loved playing with the family.



She also found ample ways to entertain herself.

 



What a wonderful gift!
