My little *ARTIST*

I know I have shared it before but my oldest, Noni girl, is such a little artist. 
She has such a creative spirit and loves loves loves to create
and make and design and color. 
She asks me pretty much every day if we can do a craft. 
It is kind of hard to come up with a craft every day so 
a lot of times I just give her supplies and let
her go. 




So one of the days that we were trapped inside from all the snow we
decided to paint. Not just kiddie washable paints but 
mama's real deal acrylics and canvas. 
It was so fun!! She had all these ideas and did one painting
after the other. 
I am pretty creative too (i think thats where she gets it from, wink, wink) 
but here of late I don't have much time to 
create. It was so fun, we both really 
enjoyed it!

Sweet treats

Valentines Day is really no big deal around here but this year it 
REALLY was no big deal because my hubby was sick. And my oldest 2.
So we celebrated by having a few sweet treats a day or two late. 
  
Homemade gluten free sticky buns handmade for me by my Valentine!

 Some festive treats for the girls!

Cabin Fever

Yes I absolutely have cabin fever. 
I have been cooped up inside for long enough. We have had plenty of 
snow for one winter. Spring can not come fast enough.
BUT... 
That being said I think I am dealing with it really well for a winter-hater. 
I'm not depressed, I'm staying positive, and taking every thought captive. 
I am trying to see the beauty in my days.
The sunshine can make any day beautiful! 
I am also staying busy.
This weather forces me to stay home and 
I would go crazy if I didn't have projects for my self, and my girls.
So   
we paint.
We play dress up.
We bounce and eat ice at the same time.
We make mini snowmen.
We play in the sand, yes sand.
We swing. 
And we do lots and lots of crafts. 
                                      

Only 38 days til SPRING is here!
