Jake's first trip to the dentist

Jake had his first trip to the dentist March 2. Jake got a pair of stylish glasses so that the bright light wouldn't bother him. Rachel and Reagan had appts as well and everyone had a good report - no cavities this time. (Helps that we now set the timer for the girls to brush their teeth.) The dentist sat Jake down and had a heart to heart about thumb sucking. Jake would not agree to quit, but did agree to limit thumb sucking to his bed.

Jake looks out the window for Mr. Gilly (the trash man)

The girls got American Girl doll (Just like me) for Christmas.

They still enjoy playing doll house.

Jake got a new Buzz and Woody for Christmas.

Bellesy

Rachel loves her Bellesy.

Craft

Reagan loves doing craft. I actually came up with something for her to do this day, but often she just creates her own craft. She even makes clothes out of construction paper for her stuffed animals.

Snow

I wish I could say that this was all the snow we got this year, but it wasn't. We never got more than this (at least not yet), but we have had snow a couple times this year. I am SO OVER it. They have cancelled school 3 days so far this year. And with this much snow, they even shut down main roads and the highway.

We didn't have enough snow for a snowman, but it was enough for a little snowball fight. of course it was everyone against mommy.

Jake was fascinated with his footprints...no, we don't have boots. We are lucky to have gloves and snowpants this year (only because we are going to Minnesota in March).

Reagan learns to read

After reading Dick and Jane and Bob books (being held by her toes in the above picture). Reagan read her first book in January. Strangely she picked the same book that was Rachel's first book - "Happy Halloween Dear Dragon". She is earning book bucks now. I just need to figure out what they are redeemable for.

Candyland

Rachel teaches Jake how to play candyland.
