Fun Videos

This is Brooke trying to make her order for her Crepes. It was so funny.

My little kitchen helpers. I know they are not dressed, but it seems I just have to wash their clothes if I put them on them, so only on special occasions do they get to be dressed:)

The traditional Valentine's Day dinner served at Fenberg Family Fine Dining. This has become the kids favorite tradition. They talk about it all year and absolutely love it. Moss makes a fabulous waitor with a very interesting accent.

Moss scored big this year! He really thought ahead and brought home this delicious bouquet. Of course the kids were sure it was for the whole family, so I reluctantly shared. It was perfect. I am not a big fan of flowers (especially ones that have been marked up for the occasion) so Moss was creative and came up with this fun idea.

Winter Break

So, we are lucky enough to not only have a spring break, but also a winter break here in New England. I don't know the history behind the whole idea, but I am guessing that anyone who could afford to, found somewhere sunny to go. We on the other hand, had a blast in the snow. we spent several hours over the course of a few days building up a snow fort. This turned out to be no small task.

After receiving inspiration from Calvin and Hobbes, the gaurd of our fort was shot down by the gunman behind the tree. (Really he just melted and fell over) Anna thought we ought to add some strawberry juice to improve the effect. I thought we might scare our neighbors.

The poor little girls spent a lot of time in the house in their high chairs while we finished it. They definitely were troopers. They weren't super into the whole mitten thing. They wanted to eat that snow so bad!

Anna and Mary really worked hard. after building up the base and realizing it was getting wider and not taller, we started forming "bricks" in Tupperware bins. It really worked great, but took a lot of bricks.
