Looking Forward to Spring!

Hello Everyone!  Wow - let me just say that although I'm still loving the snow...the sickness that goes along with Winter in NE Tennessee is for the BIRDS!  We have literally had one virus after another!  This last week was brought to you by the stomach flu!  And WOW did we ever have it bad in the Ratliff house!  Ok...onto some pictures!  We have been inside quite a bit, trying to mend...so I haven't taken that many pictures...

On Wednesday, 1/26, Adriel and Harper decided to come over and play when we were supposed to be getting a MASSIVE snow storm...which, incidently, amounted to NOTHING!  Maybe a stray flake or 2...

Watching "Word Girl"  We love PBS!

This is Connor on 1/27!

Sportin his new shirt that his friend, Thian, handed down to him.  He would NOT take this shirt off - LOVED it!

Time to do Connor's favorite thing...READ!

"Mama, I'm telling you, this is the BEST book ever!"

On Friday, 1/28, Adriel dropped Harper off for some playtime while she ran an errand!  I don't know who had more fun, me or the kiddies!  Harper has decided that she likes cars and ran right over to Connor's cars and started playing!  She even taught him how to play with one of his trucks!

Connor:  "Hey...what are you...I didn't know he could do that?!"

Harper: "See, I told you that he was more exciting than the way YOU play with him!" 

Connor:  "A woman after my own heart..."

Connor:  "Mama...she has Frightening McMean...I'm gonna pout!"

Where's Harper?!

Peek-a-boo!  I see you!

"BROOOOM BROOOOM!!!"

Connor:  "I have a ball!"  Harper:  "I want that ball!  You'll give it to me because I'm the woman and I always get my way!"

Harper: "MEN!  I told him I always get my way!"

Connor:  "Oh well, whatever keeps her happy..." (Sounds a little like his daddy!!!)

This was hysterical!!!  Harper sat down on the floor, took her socks off, and put Connor's socks on!

Like my socks?  After this I tried to teach the kids the hokie pokie but ended up doing it myself...we moved on to ring around the rosie and they actually really liked to "all fall down!"

Harper:  "Okay people...I'm outta here!"

They decided to watch some Cars!!

Connor:  "See, I told you it was the best movie ever!"

I love this one!

Connor:  "Ummm...Mama...she's got my cup, AGAIN...and my socks?!  Oh well, whatever makes her happy...at least she'll let me sit on the couch with her..."

And that, folks, is our life!
