Cold, snow, and chance of cuteness

Maybe I should have clarified that it is a 100% chance of cuteness. 

This week has had a lot of ups and downs. Monday was my birthday and we got a little bit of ice and snow so OSU was closed and I worked from home. Given the conditions of the road, Chad opted to stay home. We kept A home for the morning but ended up taking her to school so that she could get a sufficient nap. Before then, we made hot chocolate with marshmallows which she liked very much. 

Like very, very much. 

She sang me happy birthday, which was ridiculously cute.

For my birthday, I also went to a Cirque Zuma Zuma show. It was a lot of excitement! I think this was a smaller show than ones I've seen online but it was still pretty impressive. 

I've mentioned grumpy bird before (her grumpy face still kills me!):

There was some little cold going around school. Baby A had a low grade fever on Thursday night. She has been coughing for about a week or so but on Thursday she got pretty congested and she's had a really runny nose. Last night she woke up complaining her ear hurt. We aren't sure if it's an infection, the sinus congestion, or if she got water in her ear during bath.



But she is still super cute.

We got more snow today which was fun, although it interrupted our plans to go to Yukon to see Kris.

I used my new birthday present, a one-touch tea maker. For brewing tea in the most expensive way possible. It was delicious, though.

Fancy sugar crystals:

We had lots of fun playing this weekend.

We did a lot of painting this weekend (possibly going to be the theme for her birthday party this year!) to keep us entertained. Hopefully no snow day tomorrow; I can't imagine how our friends with actual significant snowfalls are handling cabin fever.

Sweet Valentine

Last Friday we went out for pancakes, which was a lot of fun.

On Tuesday, A woke up and seemed off. I decided to keep her home from school, she threw up once and then declared she was hungry and proceeded to be silly all day.

On Wednesday night, we baked for my Thursday class. We made red velvet oreo truffle brownies which were a huge hit.

And made Valentines for her class.

The Valentine's Day party was very cute, as always.

That night, Chad made one of my favorite meals for Valentine's Day/my birthday since he had to work both days.

Baby A was super cute and ready to run errands on Saturday.

She also helped make a special Valentine's Day dinner.

We celebrated Valentine's Day on Sunday morning since Chad had to work didn't get home until 7:30 on Saturday. We hope you all had a lovely holiday weekend!
