our "big" kids

Seems like posts these days are filled with the cuteness of a sweet little baby.

But I don't want to forget about capturing these 2 little ones. Or shall I say our "big" kids.
They definitely took advantage of the unbelievable and strange winter weather we had for weeks.

Yes, in shorts and bare feet.
A few mornings last week Mason spent 2 or more hours outside playing.  It was lovely.

 Taylor is getting to the age that she really really wants to help me with any thing Premier related.

I showed her where to put the labels on my new catalogs and she labeled several packages for me and did such a good job.

Mason is into Legos these days. It is SO fun to watch him get so excited and so proud about his little creations.

We've also been adding some fun decorations around the house.

Daddy keeps coming home to find more prettiness around him.

The kids begged me to build a fire this day.  Building them isn't the hard part.

It's the keeping them going that's hard.  You know, with the distraction of 3 kids.  It's hard to stay attentive to what the fire needs too. 

But I was so glad I did.  It was SOOOO cozy and we had such a wonderful time hanging out in the living room all together.

Are you getting ready for Valentine's Day?  We are celebrating tonight with a family date night.  Then we are putting Taylor's valentines together this weekend and making a mailbox for her first ever Valentine's party.  And yes, we are doing something from Pinterest!  Isn't everybody?

Paper Valentines from Walmart may be discontinued in the near future with all the Pinterest ideas I'm seeing everyone doing this year!
