Anyway this morning I decided to look through my photos from the last few days. The girls were getting a bagel with their dad so it gave me enough quiet time to get it done.
This morning I asked Megan to go get a diaper so I could change her insanely heavy diaper. Of course I moved onto other things thinking she would just be back. It turns out she got distracted (I encourage this) in her room and when I walked by this is what I saw...
I immediately went to get my camera and snapped this. So glad I got it without her even knowing I was there.
Yesterday the girls and I played with a Mr. Potato Head & friends set Megan got for Christmas. I have to admit when I was a child this was one of my favorites. I love making crazy faces and seeing the different combinations I could come up with. It's good to see some things never change. I got up to go to the bathroom and when I came back Tess was still playing with Mr. Potato Head and Megan was in her room doing this....
Hmmm, maybe it's time for a big girl bed! Would I be consider a bad parent because I let her play this way? Eventually Tess got up with her and jumped, laughed, and climbed. I love to see the two of them getting along. It hasn't always been like that. It will be sad to see that end when Tess goes to Kindergarten next year.
Thursday was the big snow storm. It pretty much snowed all day long from the time I walked Bella to the neighbors until way past bedtime. Adam wasn't coming home again (work) so I decided to go do it myself. Megan and Tess came out with me for a while, but Megan couldn't take the cold and watched from the window. Tess did her best to help me for a while, but then also got too cold and ventured in the house. It was funny to see them from the window like they were cheering me on.
This time shoveling was hard because the snow was so light and fluffy. I don't know why, but it didn't seem as peaceful and enjoyable as the last time either. I pretty much couldn't wait to be back inside. I told Adam we are getting a snow plower and that is final.So today I've been running around doing not so fun needed errands. I am just realizing it is a holiday weekend, but only for the government. I don't know why I thought Adam would have the day off. Perhaps I'll take my girls to do something fun Monday.
What do you do on a holiday when the kids are out of school?
Do you have plans this weekend?
BTW it's 8 degrees where I live or according to my car thermo. Can you believe that!? Oh and I wanted to show you how deep it was when I was shoveling the other day. Keep in mind about an inch and a half fell after this photo was taken. (notice my markings on the photo)

Those pictures of Megan are too cute. Umm yes maybe a big girl bed. Unless she sleeps in it at night for you and doesn't climb out. Then I might consider keeping her in.
I haven't seen those potatoe pals before. We have the classic ones and my kids love them too.
I hope they get your photos for you. I would probably be tossing and turning over them at night as well.
I am fortunate enough that my husband doesn't have any clinic (work) Monday. Not sure what we are doing, probably vegging like today. It's suppose to be snowing here. That tends to keep us indoors. We took our kids to see Night at the Museum over the break. It was pretty cute.
Sorry for the long winded post.
I love the photos! I love being able to sneak and take pictures of my girls without them noticing. Sweet that her distraction was a book.
Your crib climbing pictures made me laugh. I was just telling my husband yesterday that our baby will be the one to do that.
I had completely forgotten it was the holiday weekend until I got an email from one of my girls' teacher saying "Enjoy the long weekend." My husband works, so I don't really have any big plans, but it would be nice to figure out something fun to do with the girls. I kind of feel like reorganizing their closets and drawers, but I don't think that will be the kind of fun they are hoping for.
Fantastic photos! The crib shots are grand. We let our little one climb in and out of his crib for ages before we moved him to a big boy bed.
Those potato heads and that little blue stool are so well-used in our home, too.
For our long weekend - we are off tomorrow afternoon for the coast!
Jer rents space online (on amazon of all places) to store photos and other files. We figured that backing them up online would save us in case of a fire or computer meltdown, and saves us having to rent a safe deposit box for dvds with endless photos on them. It seems to work well - it has only been a few months. Let me know if you want details.
I love hearing about your day and seeing Megan- she is getting so big. I would say its definitely time for a big girl bed when the crib can't contain her any longer. Especially seing the acrobatics happening there!
I can't believe all the snow. It seems so foreign and looks so cold. You must get so sick of shoveling it all.
I hope you can get your HD fixed and you don't lose your pictures. I backed up all of mine in July but I need to do it again. I would die if I lost all my photos and mine aren't even as good as yours!
I'm commenting because of jill's "encouragement". I look at your blog often but find myself without response because I am so upset by all your wonderful pictures! It is that maddening awe EVERY time I see your pictures!
We have a read-a-thon going on at our school, so we will spend Monday all snuggled up in fleece blankets with popcorn and goodies to eat while we READ, READ, READ!!
Amy, I love your pictures. I'm with Jenn, every time I see them I am amazed! I want to take classes so bad, when my kids are a little older I plan on it. A secret passion I guess.
That really is just too much snow. We haven't had anything like that and I'm not too sad about it.
I'm going to be doing hair on Mon, hopefully Milo and the kids can find something to do. I forgot it was a holiday and scheduled some stuff. Now I'm wishing I could get out of it but I wont.
I still have hope for those photos. I love your pictures, I need to come and just take a class from you and Jill.
I take my kids to go and see a movie, or bowling would be fun. Something that just gets us out and I don't stress or worry about how they are. Shad will be gone all week and we have two days off next week, so I might be doing something really fun with them.
as always, i love your photos. megan all over her crib is too funny. and i am ready for this cold to be over with! it is too, too cold.
Very cute pictures. Yeah, I don't think anyone except, like BYU employees, get monday off. I wish we all got a holiday. I need one from my life.
I love that picture of Megan reading on her floor. I can definitely see how full her diaper was (which is funny) but I love how comfortable she looks.
I can't believe you guys have had so much snow. We haven't even had to shovel down our way. That's just crazy.
Wow -- we only got about four inches of snow this time. Funny how the weather can be so different just a short drive away.
Once again your photos are giving me serious photo envy. I love them all. I sure hope you can retrieve the ones on your hard drive, that would stress me out to no end! Better go do a back-up...
darling photos amy! i esp. love megan reading... so cute! we have been bobarded by snow and today when i got home from chuch it was 2 degrees, 2!!! thats way too cold!
whoops, boMbarded and chuRch... and probably more typos i cant see right now!!!
Amy, those are awesome pictures, as always. Evie hasn't figured out that she could very well climb out of her bed, if she tried. Who knows, maybe she DOES get in and out of there in the middle of the night and I am none the wiser???
I've been worried about your pictures (as I can see you are too by your early-morning comments!) and hope they are restorable. What more I say about your pictures? As always they are awesome.
It is way too cold! It's even too cold for snow to fall. And the ice everywhere makes me a littl nervous. It's supposed to warm up, well at least enough for snow, soon.
I love the last photo .. and the storyboard with her jumping out of her vrip - priceless!!
You have some great shots here!!
Thanks for sharing!!
