What a sweet girl who loves to be outside!!!

Does it look like we are going to have trouble during the teenage years??

I was just trying to get a picture of her hair. I have no idea how it gets so messed up in her sleep. It is like someone teased every inch of it in her sleep.
Most nights we lay out what uniform we are going to where the next day. One night when I went in to check on her this is what I found.

Not so sure what to think but it did make me smile and grab my camera!

It had been so cold that I was trying to come up with projects for us so we made pine cone bird feeders. I didn't quite understand how birds were going to feed on them and I never saw one do it but we did see some sneaky squirrels...but I didn't get a picture.

They were pretty to look at and looked nice in the tree.

Of course Parker and Bennet lost interest and I was left finishing up but it kept us busy for a little bit.

Are you wondering what is going on here? I was thinking the same thing when I walked into my bathroom. Apparently, the kids are tired of the cold and wanted to go swimming....in my bathtub. They thought that the yoga mat was a good fit for a float and the funny thing is that they kept the water cool and not warm. Be careful of the bottm pictures if you have a sensitive stomach.

You will never know what you will find when you leave Parker and Bennett together.

While in Mempis for Josie's Baptism we noticed that Parker's tooth was really loose and that she had another tooth right behind it. So, Aunt Crissie and Coco really worked at getting that tooth out. I mean they loved it! I on the other hand couldn't stomach it.....I was surprised at my inabilities since I always thought I was going to be a doctor until mid-college. Anyway, it wouldn't come out in Memphis but Parker played with it the entire trip home and all night on Sunday until she came out of her bedroom after we put her to sleep and showed us that it was almost separated. I was completely grossed out and was unable to tie a string to it and slam the door like my mom always did. Instead, Clif got the needle nose pliars out and went at it. The first time it didn't work and then she -- unbelieivably -- let him have another tug at it and it came out!! She was very proud and now we have another loose tooth.

We are very proud!

We had another snow day! Below are some pictures of everyone playing outside. I'll let y'all give me a caption for the first picture!
