Emily's first time skating.

Colds and flu have made their way through our house. Emily got sick and then me. I ended up sick for almost a week and then lost my voice for a few days. When you end up staying up all night with a sick child then you seem to get it twice as bad.

In the past few weeks we have gone to an art class with the kids and Emily went belly dancing with Sparks. The twins went on a ski trip with the youth group and had a great time. The ran out of time at the art class and didn't get to finish their projects so we are working on them at home. Once they have them done I will post more pics.

Last night Emily and Faith had a sleepover and decorated Valentine's cookies. Then they cuddled up and watched movies and ate cookies before bed.

This morning I am heading out to drop theboys off for their youth group ski trip. They will be gone for the whole day and they are very excited. David already left for the last day of his first aid class and Rob has to work early today. So today it will just be the girls at home. Not sure what we will be doing but I'm sure we will find some way to entertain ourselves.

The lantern Emily got at the dollar store.

So for the past week Emily was sick and then it was my turn. Now we are just coughing, thank goodness. Other than that things have been pretty quiet here. Will hopefully get one of the cross stitch projects framed this week, then will post pics of that.
