Woo Pig SOOIE! Razorbacks! Arkansas! Flag!

My mom bought the girls a new Razorback cheerleading outfit this week. Luckily we actually have something to cheer about. Our basketball hogs have been doing great this year and we are so excited!

When Sadie calls the hogs she likes to add "Arkansas! Flag!" to the end. I have no idea where she got that but she is convinced that is how it goes. Works for me!

Sleet Day

I was really bummed when I found out we were only expected to get sleet and ice instead of snow. I love at least one good, pretty snow. Luckily when sleet piles up it looks like snow to my almost 4 year old. Sadie was so excited about all the "snow." I will admit it has made for a nice couple of snow days with my people. Josh has been home with us too which is a huge bonus. 

While waiting to go outside the girls enjoyed a little down time. Such a rough life.

I told Sadie before she could play I wanted a picture. She tried really hard to get her sister to cooperate. It's an impossible task these days.

They sure look cute in their cold weather clothes that are 2 sizes too big. I bought new clothes this year and wanted them to wear them at least two years. Mission accomplished. 

Yeah, Sophie was done.

Sadie was so excited to sled. I actually think she remembered it from the year before. Josh's homemade sled isn't fancy but it is perfect for these two crazies. 

It was so cold. A little hard to enjoy it when you're freezing your face off.

Sadie is almost always willing to stop and pose for a picture...

...Sophie is not. You have to catch that girl on the move. 

After their fun outside it was time for pajamas again.

Both girls are really into playing with each other right now. Well, Sophie always wants to play with Sadie. Sadie isn't always as enthusiastic but she is getting better. 

A day off isn't complete without some rest time. We have all enjoyed our time at home together. Looks like we get another day today as well. It's nice for a few days but I'm officially ready for spring.

Valentine Fun

We have had a good week of Valentine fun. 

This year for Sadie's valentines I wanted to do something cute, practical, and allergen-free. I decided to go with puzzles because who doesn't love a puzzle?!

For Sophie's valentines I just copied what I did for Sadie when she was her age. Poor second child. I hope she doesn't need therapy later in life. 

Valentines are the easy part of Valentine's Day. The hard part? The box. This year is the first time Sadie has been asked to bring a box. I did not have time or desire for anything fancy so I decided on a simple design. It actually turned out super cute and Sadie loved it..

I actually saved it because I plan to use it again next year. Genius. 

Another thing that causes me stress for holidays...teacher gifts. This year I went with a small gift card to the restaurant nearby and a super cute cookie a friend made. The cookies were so cute! Too pretty to eat. 

Sadie had a fun time at her school party. She passed out (tossed) Valentines to her friends and loved getting some in return.

She was so excited to go through her box.

I am so thankful for Sadie's class, her teachers, and sweet friends. It has been hard for me having her in "big girl school" and seeing her happy makes it so much better.

First school party was a success! 

Unfortunately this sweet love bug missed her party. She has been sick for awhile now. Hoping and praying she is on the mend.

We have spent lots of time snuggling and taking selfies the last few days. 

Today was our first annual Valentine's Day breakfast. I have always loved Vakentine's Day. Even when I was single I loved it. It's just a sweet cheesy holiday. I want my girls to love it too. Even though Josh and I tell them daily how much we love them, why not dedicate an entire day for it?! 

We had donuts, fruit, chocolate milk, and a few happies for each of them. Sadie loved everything.

Sophie loved it all too! 

Cinderella stopped by for a little dancing. What is Valentine's Day without dancing?!

So thankful for a fun, memorable week with my girls.

Happy Valentine's Day to you!! 

Happy New Year

Here we are, another year. I'd love to spend more time blogging this year but it isn't exactly one oft goals. We'll just see what happened. I did ask Sadie about her goals and this is what she had to say.

2014 was full of great memories. It wasn't the best year I've ever had but it was full of blessings. I have high hopes for 2015. Let's do this!
