Valentines Day

It's Sunday night and we are in the middle of the Blizzard of 26.  We haven't had an official blizzard since 1996!  It's been a long time.  And it just warmed up enough the last few days to get rid of the 12 inches we got 4 weeks ago.  Last Saturday was Valentine's Day.  We still had Honey with us.  

Eli started printing every Stranger Things file he could find.  

This Vecna came out amazing!

I took Ariel for a haircut.  She loves getting shampooed.  It's funny, the boys hate it.  

Getting pretty!

We ran into big girls she knows.  They gave her advice on what classes to take in high school.

The snow was still there and melting from underneath.  

Honey did not like all the snow.  She wanted grass to go to the bathroom on.  

That night, Ariel babysat the twins so Amy and I could go to Ardana for dinner.  Ariel sent us these pics of Honey.  

You can tell she was helping a lot with the boys.  Lol.  

 

Bambu Printer

Last Friday, we set up the twin's new 3d printer they got from their grandparents.  It's the same one they have at school.  It took some doing to get it together.  

Look at this thing!  This is serious!  You can load 5 colors and the printer can change them while it's printing.  So cool!

First print!

It came out great!

The kids were off.  Ariel had Cece sleep over.  

I went to work.  They say the snow isn't melting because there is ice on top.  Here you can see the snow melting a little under the ice.  

Vicky came to play with the boys.  

I worked on the Mark Rober box with Noah.  It was a motorcycle made from gears.  

Eli jumped right into Stranger Things 3d prints.  He made a scary Demogorgan.  Have a great weekend!

 

Eli and Noah are 11!

Last Thursday Noah and Eli turned 11!  Hard to believe.  They were excited.  We let them open some gifts.  

More mini skateboards.  Yay.  

That day, they had their Valentine's Day parties at school.  Amy ran Eli's party.  

That night, the family came for dinner and cake.  

Lots of yummy food.  

Noah entertained us.  

Then it was Aden's turn.  

Opening more presents!

Hey Honey!

Such a cool cake.  And it was good too.  

Happy Birthday to You!

Ariel was at her ski trip.  

Such a fun night but Noah and I had to head out.  

It was time for another acrylic pouring class.  

Such a big cup of paint and so much white space.  

White no more!

She gave us little canvases to mop up the extra paint with.  

Here are two closeup shots of my painting.  

Here's my little one.  

Aden had a bunch of friends over that night.
