There are so many things we have become accustomed to in the South including "Ya'll", Southern hospitality, macaroni & cheese as a vegetable and warmer winters. But this winter was definitely one of the colder ones with more white stuff than we have become accustomed to. I remember when Siena hated going out to play in the cold and Mommy would go out without her, and now she is out there before we can reach for our boots and Carson is typically done after only a few minutes.
And just when you think you have left the Midwest behind, the following week brings sunshine and gorgeous temperatures. One week after the snow, we spent the afternoon outside doing yard work and going for bicycle rides. Kurt was itching to pull out the lawn mower and get to work and it's a good thing he did: the previous owners of the house drove by just to see the old place. It's difficult to believe that we will celebrate 9 years in this home next month. It just doesn't feel possible but we love it more and more every year.
Our kids have an art cubby and they typically pull everything out and go to town with stickers, markers and paints. Here is just one example of them BOTH hard at work. These activities keep them from arguing too much which takes up a lot of their time these days.
And yes, Carson found my flute and insisted on trying it out. It looks easy enough, right? Milo's ears aren't covered anyway. They both love the piano and Daddy is now playing the guitar for them at bath time. These little ones are being exposed to so much that I hope they catch the love for the arts somewhere along the line.
