Happy Valentine's Day!

So many blogs, so little time! It's been a while since my last post, but we have been busy. Today Eli told me about the kindness slips he has been earning at school. Just today he got two! One for comforting his friend Jason who lost to a "cheater" during a game of tetherball. Eli explained that he realized that the girl Jason was playing actually had a "roppie" and so Eli helped Jason not get upset. He got another one for keeping his cool when someone else took paper from him without asking. Instead of getting upset, he was understanding and said that he didn't mind and that they were welcome to share. WHAT A GOOD KID!!!

Today we finished making our Valentine! They did the stop motion and this was so much fun to make:

Once we finished the voice recording, Noa wanted to listen to it over and over again! She loved the way her voice sounded and she asked me if she could kiss the computer. =) She has been kissing everything that she adores lately, it's pretty hilarious.

A few weeks ago I watched Noa and her friend Emma on a Saturday afternoon while their older brothers went skiing. The girls are pretty funny together. They get along, mostly. After changing outfits from princess dress up, to unicorns and cats, to handmade paper clothes, they finally put regular clothes on and we walked to ice cream. It was a beautiful sunny day and both of the girls insisted that they bring umbrellas. Walking down the street you could see a giant ladybug and a pink kitten with two little legs below. After ice cream their true competitive spirits came out and so I distracted them with my hair:


They thought it was pretty wonderful! I had to leave it in for about an hour =)
