Weird Winter and February Fun!

This winter was so weird - mild days warm enough to play outside followed by snowstorms and freezing temperatures. One day Scarlett wanted to go play on her bike, but I told her it was too cold.

Scarlett: How cold is it outside?
Me: The temperature where water freezes.
Scarlett: Oh, you mean zero degrees Celsius?

hahahahaha!!!!!!!! Love that girl!!!!!!!!

Bike fun!

Love these little hats!

Painting in the snow.


The puddle was more fun than the snow!

Sledding (aka Dad's snow workout)...

The girls found some old magic tricks of ... er... someone's....... (don't laugh, magic is awesome!)  So Jake's been teaching the girls the ol' slight of hand!

Jake is such a wonderful father! He does such a great job teaching the girls all sorts of fun things like where's Waldo (thanks Aunt Carolyn!)...

Airplane...

Horsey....

All the girls wanted to ride at once...

Shooting Bottle Rockets...

We had some dry ice left over one day, so Jake put on a dinner show...

Then we put some dish soap in the bowl, watch what happens when the girls pop the bubbles...

The girls like to catch the quadcopter (aka Jake lands it in their nets). I love how they always wear helmets - safety first!

Hanging out in the basement: Scarlett created a zip line and Jake playing basketball with the girls...

The twirls do this funny things where they roll over the ball in order to grab it with their legs and return it to Jake. Silly girls...

Jake took Scarlett on a very windy day to fly a kite...

Jake working on his new wood working hobby...

Look how big the twirls are!! Holy cow!

And what is it about kids and puddles?? Any puddle any place and we still end up in it. Do they ever outgrow that??

Great times for your girls. I love how you two spend so much time and attention on them. Jacob really is a good Dad. Thanks for sharing.
