Valentine's Party Delayed

Due to the snow of last week and the closing of school, Reagan's class Valentine's party had to be postponed until today.  The kids celebrated with an ice cream party and then exchanged valentines.

Breakfast Dates

Every month, Reagan's school hosts an event called All Pro Dads.  It's a chance for dads to become more involved with their kids.  Cooper has been feeling left out of all the action, so today I took him out for a special breakfast at Dunkin' Donuts!  I think both kids enjoyed their early morning dates!

Toothless

Reagan lost yet another tooth today at school.  I think this is #9.  The tooth fairy is going to have to get a second job to keep up with all the action in the Sandidge house!

Back at it!

It's been a little while since I've taken my camera to the gym to catch Reagan in action.  Unfortunately today, most of my view was obstructed, but I did manage to get a few good pictures.

SNOW

The weathermen got it right this time!  We woke to 7" of snow.  After a lazy morning, we got dressed for the occasion and headed outside for some fun!

***WARNING - lots of pictures to follow!***

WOW!

  Picture Perfect!

We had a great time playing in the snow.  Thankfully, it was already beginning to melt at the end of our playtime!  That's my kind of snow!
