Just being 2!!

It's President's Day!  That means we got a free day off school!!  Not that we really needed it or anything with all the snow days we've had this month, but nonetheless, it's been a great, relaxing day at home.  These past two weeks since our snow days have been very busy...I don't feel like I've been home much at all!  Last Monday, I turned 33 years old...YIKES.  I SO don't feel 33.  I also had parent-teacher conferences that evening, so it was a very long and tiring day...I suppose I DID feel 33 by the time I got home that night.  Twelve hour days just aren't for me, that's for sure!!  Knowing I had to do another twelve hour day on Thursday, too, was kind of torture!  The light at the end of the tunnel was a day off on Friday for the two nights of work.  So, now that we are at President's Day, I'm feeling refreshed and ready for the week ahead. 

Elena's had a great couple of weeks as well.  Juan and I bought her a fish and she named him "Fish."  She absolutely loves it and just likes to sit and stare at it.  We have to keep the fish up high most days just to be sure our cat, Mittens, doesn't get to him!!  Elena got lots of little gifts for Valentine's Day and enjoyed all the goodies like cotton candy, fruit snacks, and chocolates.  Of course, Elena likes to eat these treats, but try to get her to eat normal food is still a challenge.  We were so proud of her yesterday for eating a peanut butter sandwich, some chips, a squeeze fruit (basically applesauce that she squeezes out of a pouch), and water at lunch.  It was a good food day ;)

 Dinner is so good when you can watch the ipad and eat!

 Happy Snow Day!!

 Ready to go out...this was MY snowsuit when I was 2 years old!  It fits Elena!!

 Ooops...the zipper is broken on one leg!!  And...she just HAD to wear her tennis shoes outside :)

We tried to get a good picture, but the snow was too much fun for posing!

  Being a good mom...

 The bear is so happy now.

Seeing what sticks to contact paper on the window...she had SO much fun with this!!

We had SO much fun on our snow days this week!  It's hard to believe we went to school on Monday and haven't been back since!  Seven to eight inches of snow plus some ice will do that to a town!!  Back to a normal day tomorrow and then the weekend!!  How much fun is that?!  Elena LOVED the snow this year, which is so great.  We threw snow, laid in it, tasted it, and just ran around in it!  Daddy shoveled, of course ;)  I know I am DEFINITELY over the snow and will be happy without another storm this year.  Bring on the warmer weather!!  We had a fun week on our snow days, but we are ready to get outside in the warm sunshine!
