Shenanigans

The ice finally melted and we thawed out and got back on a routine.  This is how Paige waits for Olivia's bus:
























She has also decided that her sparkly Hello Kitty rain boots are the ONLY shoes she will wear.  Before church Sunday:
























Which honestly wouldn't bother me, except they stink.  I didn't notice when I bought them (on clearance at Target, score!), but they have a wet cat, stinky, plastic odor.  Lovely.

Paige is still loving her gymnastics class:
























These 2 pictures of her sum up her personality perfectly:

























Olivia just informed me that her 2 front teeth are wiggly.  She will have a gap-tooth smile very soon!
























The first grade at Olivia's school has something called "Friday Friends."  Every Friday, the teachers ask one parent to come in and talk to the kids (all the first graders!) about their job or a hobby they enjoy, then they read a book.  I participated in the Fall and Michael went last week.  He was slightly nervous, but the kids were very interested in how drinks are made- he did great!

























A definite highlight of Michael's life was running into Dave Mustaine (singer and guitarist for MegaDeth and Metallica) at a local deli.  He was very nice and said our kids were cute.  And I had no idea who he was!

Icecapades

Nashville was hit with an ice storm that has pretty much shut everything down!  School it out, the roads are a disaster (although Michael has managed to slowly drive to work each day), and everyone is stir crazy.  Paige was amazed by the snow and really wanted to build a snowman, but the snow was not very snowman friendly!

















Check out the ice on the tree and bushes beside our house:

























We did manage to get Olivia's Valentine's Party in at school before it hit:
