Remember that cabin fever I was talking about previously? I think it’s getting worse.

The cold and snow have finally started to back off. This weekend it looks to be in the mid-40s, which be an incredible blessing after weeks of subarctic temperatures.

Lindsey is doing her best to keep from going crazy with the girls. The girls are doing their best to drive their mom crazy. Today Lindsey took them grocery shopping and due to good behavior and as an incentive, they each got a pair of sunglasses.

This also helps Lindsey because they always want to wear her glasses while riding in the car.

After a lunch of mac and cheese and leftovers, I took Hadley outside to play while I changed the headlight in the car. She loved climbing the giant drifts and exploring them. She pointed to a whole in one and said, “I wonder how deep that goes?” I really enjoy her inquisitive mind, especially when she asks questions about science and nature. She’s already so smart and just keeps gaining everyday.

Zoey Belle is a crazy machine lately. She’s starting to get sick, but is also having some sharing issues. We hear a lot of “mines!” and “no!” when other kids are around. We think her defensiveness toward her toys comes from the older kids she’s been around having taken them for the last year and half. She’s finally gotten to the point where she can stand her ground. While it’s good to see the progress, we are working with her on appropriate ways to share and let people know that you are still playing with something.

Both of the girls still light up my days every time I get home from work and they run up to me yelling Daddy and giving me hugs. I love the time I get to spend with them before bed where Hadley asks me to tell a story, each night involving a dragon, a wicked witch and aliens. It’s tough, but it keeps my creative juices flowing. After I leave the room, we can always hear Hadley retelling the story several times to Zoey Belle as they both fight sleep.
