Valentine's, Prepping, Final Four

The cold continues....
we are still trying to deal with it and we've had some Valentine's Day fun to distract us. Last year, Grandpa Perry helped Eleanor make her Valentine's Day box, so we kept the tradition - Grandma Di helped Grady while Grandpa Perry helped Eleanor. There was a lot of critique on the artistic items and quality of adhesive - I don't remember my parents being so critical when I was that age...hmmmmm.....

They had a blast on Valentine's Day handing out their Valentine's and then when they got home, going through their boxes.

We've also had some sick days between the kids - nothing serious, just enough to keep them out of daycare and forced Grady to stay home from the Sports show, which Matt and E went to. I had to laugh when they came home and saw all the things that they did that were kid-centric.


We've also had a big development - we took E's toddler rail off her bed because she's just crawling over it, anyway. So far so good - she seems pretty happy to just crawl in and out, so does Grady. Grady's words are starting to come along - he's got Lola's name down as well as "tickle-tickle," which is pretty dang cute for him to say.

We took some time this weekend to celebrate the four of us. It's hard to believe that that idea is coming to an end. I know the kids don't understand what it will mean to add one more. We took them to Skyzone - two fold - to burn off some winter weather AS well as we probably won't be able to get out and about for a couple weeks. The amazing thing too was on Sunday, I rocked both Grady to bed before his nap and laid down with E- the queen of the non-nap, for her to lay down.

We got her nursery done too this week... just in the nick of time. This poor child - everything is last minute and barely by.

 It's amazing to think that all of the sudden things will just change... we will go from four to final.
