SUPER cold and rainy day call for pjs ALLLLL day. We watched movies, did lots of crafts - Nora has been on a sea creatures kick and requested sharks, octopus and jellyfish crafts. I let her pick which ones she wanted to do from Pinterest. And nothing wraps up an afternoon like Elmo and doggie dress up (and scooter riding in the foyer hallway).

Lunch date with our buddies Colin, Dennis, Andrew and Sydney. 4 mommas and 6 kiddos and NOT A SINGLE tear the entire lunch date! Lazy afternoon at home complete with play dough (of which Radford consumed 1/2 of it!), reading books in the tent while brother naps, and teaching Nora the art of Southern cooking using my grandmothers cast-iron skillet.. Crockpot pork tenderloin, greens and homemade cornbread were on the menu tonight.

After church no one wanted to nap and it was 60 degrees outside so we spent 3 hours away from the house. We explored Patterson Park - running down hills and watching ducks, stopped for books at the library (which quickly ended once Radford tried coloring on the computer screen with crayons), and finished with an icecream treat before dinner.

Nora: my little book worm - loves to pretend to read to mommy. She also loves watching You Tube Mother Goose songs and singing along. Such a type A, follow the rules, straight as an arrow sweet girl. Radford: colors on his face with bath crayons, falls when mommy isn't looking and is ALLLLL boy. He keeps mommy on her toes at all times. Mom's Night Out with with fabulous SIL, Hilaire at Mama's On a Half Shell. Too many glasses of wine, talking about life/motherhood/family/etc. and a few tears mixed in. An awesome evening where we actually got to sit at a bar and enjoy not having to take care of anyone else.

Mother Goose story time at Port Discovery followed by exploring the Thomas the Train exhibit. Rad had so much fun that he passed out in the car on the way home. Sweet boy...it's been a long week. Sister requested another sea creature craft...so today was a Valentine's crab for daddy.

Radford is happiest when he's holding or wearing something Mickey. He. Is. Obsessed. Nora...loves the camera and smiling/posing for mommy. Morning spent grocery shopping/meal planning before heading to a baby shower for sweet Jenny and Baby Barley. Excited to see her as a new momma in less than 2 months.

Painting early in the morning is all fun and games until Nora decides to paint to her elbows with acrylic paint. Rad was just about as messy. After baths we put on our "new favorite dress" and did twirls in the mirror before headed to PetsMart where we thought we would be leaving with a pet fish...only to be completely satisfied with just looking at all the animals. Rad is a dog LOVER and was insistent on "petting" all the advertisements.
