Love day ♥

Our Valentine's day was pretty quiet this year. Personally, I am not someone who believes we should pull out our debit cards simply because Hallmark thought so. BUT I do think we all need a day that reminds us of all we have and all we love. For us, that's what Valentines day is:

One of Mack's love bugs. She did 90% of the work on these all on her own, even the cutting!

What Valentine's day is complete with out chocolate? Oh! And a new book or two?
My sweethearts:

Daddy asks a silly question

Welcome to the weekly edition of" Daddy Asks a Silly Question " while this isn't such a "silly question", I think it fits the category:

Mack : " ....10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18,19,19,19,20!..."
Mike: "What happened to 13 and 16?"
Mack: " ummm...they turned out very nice!"

Work it, girl!

In prep for running weather, I've been doing " The 30 day shred" along with paying my usual dues at the gym. Mack has been joining me every day! She is very energetic although she stops every four jumping jacks to rest. It's fun to have a work out buddy!

Hands On!

We've been spending quite a few of our winter days at the Ann Arbor Hands on Museum. Most recently, Mike took Mack and the two had a lot of fun together.

Lovin' the water table. She likes to collect all the like sea animals and hoard them:
Cool, Mack!
Daddy's have to have their own fun:
It was a true date, ending in lunch at Mack's favorite place- Noodles and Company:
The returned home, almost 5 hours later, all tuckered out but happy!

Rockin' robins!

I don't know what got into them, but the robins have made their first appearance of 2011. Robins are usually a tell tale sign that spring is near. This can't possibly mean that spring is THAT close can it? I'm not sure but they look awfully cold and hungry out there!

Family Band

I found a harmonica in some of Mike's music stuff. While Mack wasn't fond of the harmonica, she was inspired to accompany my musical stylings with her piano:
Maybe Mike could find a way to play his sax and guitar at the same time. Then we'd be....even noisier!

My crafty friend....

Angie ( remember , Angie has Hannah who is a fellow " Marchie" from my on-line group)
made Mack this cute Valentines shirt! Thank you , Angie! Mack didn't want to take it off for bed.
