What Happend to the Nice Weather?

Well, here in Detroit we had a little tease with Spring on Friday. When I left school on Friday afternoon it was 63 degrees. A beautiful start to the weekend! The neighborhood was a buzz with people as I was driving home, spring fever has hit for sure! To not let the nice weather go to waste, we had a "fire pit" in our driveway with some neighbors on Friday night (The "D-town" way to have a bon fire). That was the end to our nice weather, since Saturday late morning I don't think it has stopped raining. Oh well, we knew the weather was too good to be true!

Quick Update

Nothing too much new in the Voakes household. The weather hasn't been all that great here, still cold but no snow so really not too much to do outside. I can't wait for the weather to warm up and get outside more. We went to Port Huron today, Megan has been bugging us to go to the mall and play so that is what we did. We also went to Chuck E Cheese for a little while, but it was quite busy so we didn't stay long (saving our tokens for next time). Megan did give "Chuck E" a hug which was a first for her! There actually is hope for the Easter Bunny this year, from Megan at least. I think the twins picture with the Easter Bunny will resemble the one with Santa quite a bit, but who knows I could be wrong!
We took out the potty chair last weekend. It did not go quite so well last weekend. Annalyse did go potty on it tonight so she got two m&m's. I really think if we step it into high gear they may do well potty training. We just stocked up on diapers a week and a hlaf ago, so after they are gone we may have to switch to pull-ups. We put them in the next bigger size diapers at night so we can't just use the diapers for night-time and they are way to expensive to not use!
Megan is still enjoying school. She also hase been getting up really good in the morning considering she knows her sisters are still in bed.
Enjoy the pictures!
P.S. Can you guess what Megan and Mike made with the play-dough?

Snow Much Fun

Here are some pictures from today. We had a nice warm January thaw, a day late. Mike and Megan built, or I should say, dug out a tunnel through one of our snow banks.
Everyone is on the mend here. Mike ended up with a sinus infection, but he is doing better.
