Not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Our team lost in overtime, but everyone had a great time.

Hockey
Today we headed to the local hockey rink to support one of our favorite babysitters, Caitlin. As usual, the girls LOVED seeing the "big girls" and watching them play.

Lazy Mornings
My favorite part of weekends is the time period from 7 am to 10 am. We do very little, and most of our time is spent in PJs drinking juice (coffee for adults) and eating cheerios.
Sometimes we accessorize:
We snuggle often:
And we make up for a week of too much rushing and not enough just being together.
*Note: I've been trying to overcome my unwillingness to have my picture taken. Simply put, I am vain. If I am unshowered or don't look my best, I usually prefer to stay behind the camera. But I read an interesting article recently that reminded me that when I am old and gray and want to reminisce or when my kids want to look back at their childhood memories, we will want to see all of us together. Because then, just like now, my kids won't care about my imperfections - the bad smile with double chins and bedhead with no makeup. They will see their mom, and I will remember what life was really like - bags under the eyes, carrying the extra ten pounds, and loving life still.

This child ...
This child makes me laugh.
On a totally related note, this child may be the death of me. But I love her to pieces.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Lucy asked me to be her valentine. How could I say no to a face like that?
Then the sister love-fest began:
Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Sledding
The ladies were VERY excited to go outside the first day it snowed.
I tried to get a photo op while in the house because I didn't want to bring my camera outside where it would inevitably get dropped in the snow. The children were so excited that it was physically impossible for them to sit still ... or stop wrestling and giving each other headlocks. I guess what I'm trying to say is: sorry for the blurry pictures!

The Secret to Perfect Pictures
Want to get your kids to look at the camera and smile big like the picture below?
Here's the secret: just let one of them smack the other one in the face. Apparently this is hilarious to both of our girls.
And then let them wrestle. This somehow creates smiles all around?
