Saturday Jobs

So this may sound crazy and I'm quite sure my kids wouldn't agree with me, but lately one of my favorite times has been doing Saturday jobs as a family.  There is something about working together as a family, and teaching your kids how to work that is really fun and exciting.  Lately I've started looking forward to Saturday morning jobs.  Its so fun to see how both of the kids are getting better at doing jobs and it definitely seems to make them a little more responsible during the week as well.

Happy Cleaning!

Stuff

Here are some things we've been up to. 

In January, we had a snow day.  Which in Tennessee means there was a heavy dusting and school was canceled. 

Reid had a birthday.  Brooke wanted to make a candygram poster for him.  She was pretty creative at figuring out what to say with the candy bars, it was fun!

We've been going hiking a lot.  Reid has taken the kids a few times when I've been especially tired and/or grouchy.  But we've gone all together a few times lately and it is so much fun to get outside and do something together.  One time Brooke was ahead of us and she found this tree and hid in it to surprise us.

For Valentine's Day breakfast we had pancake puffs with berries and whipped cream, if you can't tell Owen really enjoyed his.



 I found these pictures, and I couldn't help but put them on here.  We told the kids I was pregnant on Christmas Eve and these are some pictures Reid took of me telling them.  They were both so excited, it was so special.

We're Thinking Pink!

So I'm pregnant, which is way exciting! And it's a girl which is also exciting (except if your Owen, he is not too excited about that, he yells and says its a boy whenever we say the baby is a girl).  I'm due the middle of June and everything is going well, we feel so incredibly blessed to be able to have another child in our family.  We are just so excited!
