We tried to be creative.. I wish I had that snow spray .. THEN we really would have had a SNOW-Pillar!
Then we tried to make an igloo.. but it kind of caved in. The snowman liked it!

SCHOOL VACATION!
We started school vacation week off with GLOW BOWLING! Ryley ROCKS! She won! Delaney and Keelyn had a blast until about 5 minutes before we finished, then the lost interest. What caught their eye.. was DIPPIN DOTS Ice Cream. (until I found out it was $3 per container). I bought 1 and had them split it. Pretty hard when they put the spoon at the BOTTOM frozen into the ice cream. Here is a picture of Ryley doing her magic!
not the best photo, taken from my cell, but you get the idea.
Today was a clean up day... change sheets, organize things that I'm getting rid of. I may post my queen bed on Craigslist.... although I hate the idea of getting rid of it, as one day I'd really like to have a house that accommodates ALL our children and have room for a SPARE bedroom. I never realized how many sheet sets I've accumulated for that bed!
Tomorrow.. we're off to CHUCK-E-CHEESE! Plan to be there for 9:00 Am as it gets INSANE by about 10:30.. just in time to LEAVE :-).
I think the rest of the week, is hitting the gym on Thurs., then taking it easy.. maybe renting movies for Friday. That'll be our "cool" February vacation!
Jack just told me today he has to go to San Diego the end of March and thought it would be a great idea to make a vacation out of it. I'd love love love to see that San Diego ZOO! Betcha the girls would love it too. We'll see how that pans out.
Last week we enjoyed a visit from Uncle Mike and Aunt Julie and the boys. Although there were many germs festering in this house.. the kids all seemed to love hanging out together. We built a snowman, which was lots of fun. By the end of the day Delaney was super sleepy! Check out the pictures!
Well, I'm being called upon to serve ice cream for desert! They kiddo's have been waiting patiently! Better run!

Another Snow Day?
Well we are eagerly anticipating a snow day tomorrow. Everyone is feeling a little under the weather, and I'd like to just stay put and vacuum and dust (and NAP if that is a possibility)!
Delaney got her NEW bed! It is a day trundle bed and she loves it! So do her sisters who have slept in it since the day we put it together! Her bedroom has lots more room now.. we just need to get a rug to make it complete.
The girls and I attended a birthday party on Sunday night and it was lots of fun... here is a photo of when we got home with Daddy.. :-)
We've been reminiscing this week watching old home movies of when we just had 1 little one then 2 little ones..etc The girls love seeing themselves at Adysons age.
My friend Susie was brave enough to invite the Flynn clan to dinner on Sat. night. It was lots of fun! Good food. The kids had a blast, they don't get together much anymore, but picked up right where they left off last. It was great to see y'all!
We had our tax appt. on Sat. too funny. The GRAND plans I have in my head as opposed to what Jack would like to do with our refund $$. Wonder what will come of a middle of the road plan.
Uncle Mike and UNCLE Julie (per Ryley.. LOVE YOU KIDDO!) and the boys are coming to visit this weekend! I'm hoping we find a great house for them, so they can move up here by the Spring. Lots of nice houses on the market.
Well, I have a hungry baby and 3 kids in the tub.. so I better get to the bedtime routine.

Monday..again
The weekend is over.. let's see...the girls screamed like little girly girls going to and coming home from the Hannah Montanna 3-D movie. It was fantastic! They love love loved it!!! Jack even enjoyed it, he said the 3-d graphics were AWESOME.
Today I took Delaney to buy her BIG GIRL UNDIES :-). It was a toss up between Dora and Diego (briefs). hee hee, she ended up with Dora. We came home and she immediately put them on! Ran back and forth to the potty using it BOTH TIMES :-) YAHOOO! Although the constipation has still been an issue here is a great clip from last night:
Delaney has been so interested in learning, reading and singing. She still is in the Christmas mode and loves to sing RUDOLPH.. here is a great video of her (with a little coaxing).. I think it is tooooo cute!!!
I've covered Keelyn, Ryley and Delaney.. as for Adyson.. hmmmm... she's been pigging out? loving her oatmeal cereal with PEAS! She also amazes me with her content personality when I leave her at the gym. They never come to get me unless she needs a new diaper. It's great! She's happy to be!
OH, DID I MENTION Jack and I had a DINNER OUT on Friday? We took Adyson with us and headed over to Giorgio's had a GREAT meal! yummmy! It was nice to get out of the house when it seemed to be a LONG LONG day (week, at that). Thanks to Grampi for babysitting!
This week is a quiet one.. NICE :-). I have work to do this week! I have to get ready for our tax appt. Sat. Although I heard the government is revamping their computer systems, so it may take longer to receive our refund UGH!

Real Quick
Based on my friend Susie's recommendation, I think I will post on a weekly basis with a running "draft" until posted. I think if I posted as much as I'd like.. there would be waaayyyy toooo many posts!
So, the "real quick":
Adyson had her 4 month dr. visit today. She is 16.7 lbs and 26 1/2" long. She is in the 95th percentile for her weight and over the 95th for her height! TOOOO FUNNY as most of you know, Keelyn, Ryley and Delaney were little munchkins.. that didn't reach those stats until they were 9 MONTHS OLD!!! WHOA! Poor little girl got 3 shots and a liquid "shot" by mouth for the rotavirus. UGH!

Getting used to blogging....
o.k. I've figured out.. you really need to have a list of things you want to write about; Because, I forgot to mention more than just Delaney getting sick.... but 2 other VERY IMPORTANT MILESTONES. Sat. Jan 26th.. the day Adyson turned 4 months old ... RYLEY LOST HER FIRST TOOTH!!!! Check out the photo! She is PUMPED! The TOOTH FAIRY left her a $20! She said to me "Mom, my tooth is getting looser". So I told her if it came out today she would get $$ from the tooth fairy TONIGHT so within 5 minutes, as she sat next to me on the couch she said "MOM, IT CAME OUT!", and don't you know it ... a little chicklet in the palm of her hand! The rush of adrenaline made her cry for a bit saying how much it hurt, but after a few, she was all smiles. My Smiley Ryley Bear!
Then YESTERDAY Sunday Jan. 27th, Delaney and Ryley took a bath... Delaney ran around naked for quite a while.. then I heard her yell from upstairs... "I DID PEE PEE ON THE POTTY". I ran upstairs to find a WET bum and pee in the toilet! WAHOOO! It only gets easier from here! She got a whole Halloween packet of "EMMY's" aka
M & M's. Life is good.
Adyson has her 4 month dr. appt. Wed. I think she is getting 3 shots :-(. She has just recently started eating oatmeal baby cereal is is enjoying it! I've put a photo of her in her highchair with that big "I'm waiting to EAT smile". HA!

I forgot to mention.. Poor little Lanie came down with CROUP starting Wed. night ~ 102 fever ~ Sounding like a seal with that "barking" cough. She seems to be turning the corner today as her temp. was lower and cough sounding more productive. Poor little punkin pie.. every time she coughs she'll say "I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick".. :-( Feel better Sweet Pea!
Tomorrow is Monday.. this week consists of Jack heading to NJ Tues. ~ Adyson getting her shots Wed. ~ Jack returning Thurs. night so he can accompany Keelyn to her 3rd ski lesson at Crotched Mountain. Colleen informed me "Keelyn is the best one in the class" .. makes me smile inside... she LOVES skiing and Ryley.. her love is SNOWBOARDING.. she is the cat's meow! You may see her on EXTREME GAMES in a few years! Next weekend includes a visit from my friend SHA! haven't seen her in a while.. our old roommate.. we miss ya!! Looking forward to you visiting and catching up, girls are excited to see Elle! And SUNDAY... Daddy is taking Keelyn and Ryley to HANNAH MONTANNA 3-D concert MOVIE - they are beside themselves! I'll post more during the week to see how the week has deviated from what is planned. Never a dull moment in the Flynn house. Cheers!
