Snow Day with Daddy

We had another snow day that kept us out of school and Kelly came home early. Our day started with a text from Uncle Terry that said he saw a white blob in our front yard on his way home! So of course we ran to the front door and Ruthy spotted her new friend left by the snow ninjas aka Uncle Terry! We had to get dressed and go outside!

When Daddy came home Ruthy told him that she needed to leave a snow blob for Uncle Terry - a really big one! So the fun begins! Ruthy and Daddy packed the snow into a huge mound. When the mound became too big for Ruthy she went on a scavenger hunt for eyes, nose, lips, teeth and hands! She decided Uncle Terry's recycle bin would be an excellent place to look!

Ruthy picked out a mild cap for one eye, and a bleach cap for the other eye! A Dr. Pepper 3 liter bottle for the nose and teeth. Tree branches for lips and a coke bottle top for a beauty mark!!!

We had a great day. By the end Ruthy was just too cold and tired to walk back across the street so Daddy gave her a ride on the 4-wheeler. Mommy of course held her breath the whole way walking behind them.

Fired Up Pottery and Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day, we took Ruthy to Fired up Pottery to paint some things as she says!! Colleen decided she was too cool and stayed at a friends house. We ran into some friends (Skye, Alicia, and Bailey) there and made a big play date out of the day! Ruthy painted a unicorn and a one of kind unicorn it is! Bailey painted a penguin, Alicia painted a turtle, Sky painted a coaster, Kelly painted a Fairy treasure box for Ruthy, and I painted a big soup bowl!! We had a blast!

Daddy working hard on the Fairy treasure box for Ruthy. I'm so glad he enjoys doing the girly things that Ruthy enjoys. As I have said before Ruthy has her daddy wrapped around all of her fingers!!!

Ruthy and Bailey working together on Ruthy's unicorn. Bailey had finished her penguin and became upset because she couldn't paint another one. So my lovely little girl told her she could help paint the unicorn if it would make her happy again!

Later in the day Kelly suprised me with family pictures at Portrait Innovations. We had a blast! Ruthy was all smiles. Colleen's pictures turned out beautiful. She is growing into a gorgeous young lady!
