Weekend Recap

We had a great weekend at the Storm household. We kicked things off by going to the Peter Rabbit movie! The kids loved it. :) Yes, Roman is wearing his Minion Jammies. That's how we roll! :) He had pj day at school that Friday and did not want to change! 

Daddy was gone catching deer over the weekend so these two piled in my bed. :)

After some time at the gym and Adventure Alley on Saturday morning we headed to music class. These girls always have the best time!

Sigh! It is Bunny ear central with Lucy these days.

We worked on Valentines on Saturday afternoon. Lucy gave her little friends Reese's Pieces and told them that she loved them to pieces. 

She also had a gift for her teacher. This package is just so cute that I had to take a picture! :) 

After church on Sunday we played outside for a bit and blew bubbles!

Can you tell that we are eager for spring??

Okay - I had to post this one from our quiet time on Sunday. One of Lucy's newest loves is Girl's World magazine. She checks one out almost every week from her school library. Both Lucy and Roman are obsessed with the little quizzes and games in the magazine. One this day, they were playing 'Which Is Worse?' which basically lists 2 gross things and they need to decide which one is worst. I am telling you that this quiz has provided more laughs and entertainment than you can imagine!

Girl Scout Sisterhood Dance

The Girl Scouts of Rhinelander held a Sisterhood Dance this winter. Lucy has the best time!! The girls rocked the dance floor and had lots of fun with props and a photo booth.

This is Lucy and her friend Olivia getting ready for their turn in the photo booth. 

Can you spot Lucy in the limbo line? :)

The girls played musical chairs.

And they did the chicken dance!

Here are some of Lucy's treasures -- sweet photo booth snaps with Olivia and Caroline. 

It was a great afternoon of dancing, pizza, treats, and photos for the girls! 

Early February Happenings

Here are some February updates from the Storm household...

I just love that Lucy's Kindergarten teacher sends sweet pictures like this one my way! 

Lucy is a big fan of Valentine's Day - she made this fun card in her Art class. :)

Lucy's elementary school does an awesome job of getting the kids out snowshoeing! Here is our girl exercising with her friends on a winter day. 

The kiddos like to snuggle in our bed when Dad is away on work trips, especially on chilly winter nights. Thanks for the fun pajamas, Grandma Sharon & Grandpa Glen!

Here are some snaps from a Friday night game night at the Storm's!

Lucy has recently discovered bunny ears. Sigh! Pictures will never be the same...

Another new discovery is her love of paper fortune tellers. Lucy makes these in her after school program with some older girls and the little fortunes are so dang cute! 

We celebrated groundhogs day with party hats!

We are hitting the sledding hills as much as possible this season!

On this particular Saturday we got a few inches of fresh snow which made the afternoon even more fun!

After sledding we headed out for dinner at the Mexican restaurant with the O'Casey family. What a nice evening!

We prepped for the Super Bowl by making some fun treats on Sunday afternoon! These cute brownie footballs are always a hit!

Also, thanks to Pinterest, I made this sweet Rice Krispie treat football field! Isn't it fun? 

 

This is what our crew looked like on Super Bowl Sunday. Clearly we are still in denial! Hahahaha! We watched the big game at the MacFarland's house this year. The kids had a great time playing, we actually enjoyed a good game, and it was fun to see those Patriots lose! Hah! And, I would be remiss if I did not mention the awesome half time show! Daniel especially appreciated Justin Timberlake's elk shirt! ;)

It was a late night on Sunday so this is what our Monday morning vibes looked like! Lucy and Romy snuggling on the couch watching PBS kids. 

Lucy celebrated 100 days of school by crafting a pot with 100 gold coins and making a rainbow with 100 dots. 

While Lucy worked on her school project, Roman played 'Noah's Ark' and lined up all of his animals. Look at how long he looks in this picture!! My baby boy is getting so big!! 

Finally, the kids and I worked on fun Valentine's Day packages for the cousins. 

Hope everyone is staying healthy and warm!

Readers Theater

Lucy's Kindergarten class has Readers Theater every few weeks and this January they read about a variety of animals.

Here is Lucy and her friend Caroline who is dressed up as a hippo.

Lucy was a hippo too!

Here are the kiddos with their scripts. They are such good readers!

Lucy wanted a selfie with Mama and her friend Maggie snuck in too!

Here are 2 sweet little Kindergarteners -- Lucy and Maggie! 

This & That

The Storm kids love to help our in the kitchen! We have made some of our favorite things - banana bread and bran muffins - this January. Grammy Nola made some fantastic aprons for Lucy and Roman and they love wearing them!

Roman's daycare has been working on winter art like this cute penguin.

Lucy sticks to sunshines and rainbows when she crafts!

The children learned the story of Jonah at Sunday school so they made these big fish out of paper plates and colored little Jonahs to drop in the mouth. 

Yay for baking and crafting!!

Outdoor Fun

We have been enjoying the great Northwoods this winter! Here are some of our outdoor adventures from the season.

 

We spotted this beautiful owl near our house! He was huge and I love how he blends into woods so perfectly. We stopped and watched each other for a couple of minutes before he flew away.

 

 

We took the kids out for some ice fishing on Free Fishing Saturday.

 

We visited Perch Lake on this day.

 

We didn't catch any whoppers but it was the perfect day to sit out! It was so warm that we did not need an ice shanty.

 

Dan and Lucy enjoyed their Daddy and daughter time on the ice.

The kiddos took a break from fishing to build a snowman.

 

Fast-forward a couple of days to a winter wonderland at our house!

 

 

These two love playing in the snow.

 

Here were are in the backyard.

 

Of course we needed a shot with bunny ears courtesy of Romy.

 

Ranger loves playing in the snow too! He has been a bit of a nuisance recently - he likes to run across the river to chase deer or zip over to our neighbor's yard and bark at their dog.

 

Let it snow!
