 we had to have a no screens day. it's been so cold and we've been so sick that we've watched a lot of tv and played a lot of video games. too much. so we had a no screens day and did a lot of experiments and projects! we started with magic milk!

 then we played box trolls

 moving onto magic snow

 and then some painters tape spider web

 the next day we did some balloon races

 and juggle bubbles

we went to a funeral for great grandpa jim and then the kids got to play with their cousins at lunch. they love getting together and playing!!

 we had a party with the neighbors and later the older cousins. malloy loves playing with julianna!!! she got to have a sleepover with bella, too! such a fun night!

it was finally warm enough and rex was healthy enough to go outside and play!

my little superhero!

 we went to buffalo for a long weekend to visit friends! it was good to see them, even if there were a few rough patches! it's been a while since we've seen them!

 a favorite thing to do this trip was play superheros!

gianna's power was invisibility

kenadee had streamer power

 we took a trip to explore and more museum. the kids had a great time!!

this was rex's favorite part!

reading to each other

 we had some fun st. patrick's day festivities!!! the kids were very excited about making a leprechaun trap. grandpa gary was here and helped them build quite a trap!!! they were so excited to catch their leprechaun!!

 we didn't catch a leprechain, but he caused some mischief and left some clues for a scavenger hut

grandma val and grandpa don took the kids to ithaca for a fun day at the science museum and for ice cream and then went to roro and papa's for dinner so that neal and i could get some painting done. malloy came home and was miserable. she had some sort of bug and was down and out for the weekend. poor kiddo!

watching a show at 4am in the playroom

feeling better

 malloy was better in time for crazy hair day at school!!

 malloy loved mismatch day. she was so excited to pick out a wacky outfit and she succeeded!

 we got to celebrate papa hank's 86th birthday with him! we had KFC and carrot cake cupcakes.

rex was helping neal put the coffee table together with the "ranch"

we went to roro and papa's to celebrate his birthday with the family. aunt lori got them bunny pops! it was a beautiful day!!! we came home and broke out the big wheels. so nice to be outside!
