Shark mop

It works!!

For my birthday Kathy got me a Shark mop (which I asked for).

My kitchen floors are tile with white grout, the white grout gets really dirty. I use to use a swifter mop which didn't get in between the tiles. I tried to do the kitchen on my hands and knees at least once a month, but that takes 2 hours. So I wanted the shark with the dust attachment to get between the tiles. I have been using it once a week, today when I used it I notice that something spilled and went into the grout so I focused on that spot and with a little bit of elbow grease it came off, no hands and knees. I also noticed that the grout over all still looks pretty good from the last time I did it on my hands and knees which was over a month ago.

I am so happy!! Thank you

Manners

Austin has always been pretty good with his manners from the time we taught him to sign them. However lately not so much. Sometimes it is kinda funny with the way he handles it. I think...he got this from Aunt Mel.?

Mostly if he burps we say "what do you say"? Austin "I don't have my manners, I lost them" and most of the time it is "I don't have my manners, I gave them to ......" (who ever we saw last). For the most part when it is please and thank you he always says it. I try not to laugh when he makes these comments because I do want him to use his manners, but it is funny. This week it all about Valerie, because we saw her last week. So tonight we have to call Valerie and ask her to give Austin his manners back.

Ice skating

On Valentines day we took Austin Ice skating for the first time. He really enjoyed it. Someone held his hands the entire time. At first we made him wear a helmet but realized there was no point due to him not attempting to skate on his own. The pictures were not that great because of the glass. Rob's back was in serious pain from bending over holding Austin the entire time.

It turned out to be a really nice day. In the morning we made a heart cookie to celebrate, Aunt Mel and Uncle Bubba come to skate and have dinner. Pap joined us in skating as well.

Apparently once Austin realized he was being held he just kinds hung there and didn't really try.

zee

I have been trying to do some crafts with Austin. NickJr.com has some great things for kids to do and age appropriate as well. Zee is one of the host on Nick Jr (the only channel on in our house). So I went through my supplies and we had everything we needed. I cut the pieces and using fabric glue Austin attached everything and stuffed her. He is carrying her where ever he goes.

Getting ready for Valentines day

Austin and I have been getting into the Valentine spirit, so today we baked cupcakes. He put all the ingredients in the bowl, helped me pour the mix into the pan and then iced some. The icing part didn't last to long...he couldn't wait to eat one. Daddy even decorated some with hearts. I made Austin a shirt that says Mr. Valentine (picture to come soon) Savannah a little outfit and I made Valerie a hoodie (she is really into wearing them lately). We are planning to go see her at the end of the month.


Here is Valerie's hoodie, I have since replaced the zipper (the first one was not long enough)!

You can't really tell in the picture but the little heart is stuffed, and I used a t-shirt for her waist band. I love the material!

Sometime in the last 2 weeks Austin has learned to zip his zipper, he could undo it for a while but he always needed help to pull it up. I think we can attribute it to the pj's aunt Mel got him for Christmas

weekend snow

after playing in the snow I made brownies and hot chocolate. Austin like to lick the bowl but didn't like the end product for the brownies

Pap and Savannah. Pap, Max, and Joe Pa walked down in the snow before the street was even plowed.

The one picture I got of Austin in the snow

Pretty much everyone got hit with a large amount of snow, here is our little adventure. Austin was really in no mod to have his picture taken but he really did enjoy it.

Savannah is 6 months

u

Savannah is 6 months old!! I dont have stats yet, her apt is set for Tuesday. She just started to sit up. I can't believe how much and fast she is growing. Unfortunately I was not able to get her into a new doctors office so soon, but keep your fingers crossed by her next check up we will be a new doctors office.
