Playing in The Snow And a Fun FHE

Elizabeth was really excited about some of the snow we got last week and had a lot of fun making snow angels, and snow cookies, I got a workout pulling Elizabeth around and around and around in the sled!
Last Monday for FHE we decided to play twister as I hadn't quite got a lesson planned out as I'd meant to(though we did watch an Old Testament video after the game). We had so much fun!! I was impressed with how well Elizabeth knew her left and rights, we didn't have to hardly help her at all! We got a Chocolate twister game from my cousin for Christmas so we used and of course ate some of those as well!
The week went as usual...the school lesson was "We Can All Get Along" to go along with the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday on Monday. I think Elizabeth got it as well as can be expected...ok well probably better really. She said to me one day "we are all childs of God, no matter what we look like." Proud mama moment! Something I really like about teaching Elizabeth myself is I can include our religious beliefs into her lessons, it was especially nice this past week when learning about segregation and such. We sang "Jesus Said Love Everyone" just about everyday!
Friday night we went to my friend Kim and her husband's home for pizza and to play the Wii with them. It was really nice to get out and have some major fun with good friends!
Saturday we ran some errands...signed Elizabeth up for swim lessons, as I'd really like her to be able to swim without her water wings by summer, and she's getting to the point where her confidence in the water isn't totally matched by her skill in the water so I'm afraid she'll try something that I'll have to jump in and save her from. Oh and Devin will be starting mommy swimming lessons this summer so I don't want to have to worry too much about Liz. Tony's parents kindly watched the kiddos for us that evening while Tony and I went and saw Beauty and the Beast in 3D, it's my favorite Disney movie! We thought about taking Elizabeth, but she can't see 3D(she has no depth perception which is needed obviously to see 3D) and it was nice to get out just the two of us and we really enjoyed it! After the movie Tony's parents treated us to a delicious spaghetti and meatball dinner...my favorite! We visited with them for a bit them headed home. Well enjoy the pictures!












My mom made Elizabeth this super cute paint smock, and Elizabeth loves it! She wants to wear it even if she's just drawing with dry erase markers!
