We spent our last couple of days of February playing outside in the beautiful weather. The kids have had a blast and I am beginning to like the outdoors in the winter more and more. Grandma and Grandpa are in town and came yesterday. Grandpa Nyhlen is having his surgery at Fairview Southdale Hospital tomorrow evening. So our prayers are for a quick recovery!Zoey and Grandma made a snow-woman today. Zoey named her "Fauna." I am glad that she and I had the talk that snow-people don't stay forever, because Fauna melted away just hours later. It was fun while it lasted.
Zoey still wants a dog and is saving most of her money in a piggy bank so that one day (when she's 7) she can have one. This, however, is the face she made when she found some of Gracie's dog poop in the backyard. I hope she gets used to it, because that will be one of her chores!
Grandma and Zoey played Pie Tag in the backyard.
Gracie had a blast running around in the snow!
Zoey has been making laptop computers lately. She is very specific in the design. As you can see below, the one she made a few days ago has a game where you catch bananas. The mouse was later cut out and made wireless.
Seeing that Grandpa will be in the hospital for a few days, Zoey thought it would be nice to make him a laptop too! Here is the Zoey 3.0 version. Instead of catching bananas, he will be catching hearts.
In other news, Zoey is officially registered for Kindergarten. I am more excited now that I have actually visited the school and met some of the teachers. Zoey also has another loose tooth--although I think it will take a while for her to actually loose this one.Zander had his first dentist appointment last week. According to Tyler, he was a very brave boy!
