So nice :)

I love the fact that I get to stay home with my kids. It snowed yesterday and now there's no school today so we are just hanging out at home. Jane and Elias are building with Legos, eating pancakes (which, by the way, I tried to sneak some bananas into the pancakes but Jane is too smart for me! She could defenitely tell a difference!), and watching Little Bear. It is so pretty outside. I am so blessed to be able to stay home with my babies.

The cutest thing happened the other day. I took the kids to Schnucks and before we walked from the car to the store I told the kids to stay close to me in the parking lot and to hold hands. Usually there is a lot of fussing about having to hold hands but not this time. Elias was wearing his puffy winter coat and Jane was in her pink winter coat. Jane was wearing mittens but Elias was not and he gladly held her hand. I asked her to hold my hand with her free hand but she said she couldn't because she needed to keep Elias' hand warm. She cupped her hands around his hand and never let go until we got to the Salvation Army bell ringer and I let them both put in some change. I just thought it was so cute to see her taking care of him by keeping his hand warm :)

While I was sick last Sunday Jared took it upon himself to do the dishes. He later informed me that while he was doing the dishes Jane walked by him and said, "I didn't know you could do dishes!" HAHAHA I love it!
