Some messages from the Copeland Trio

I think I want my hands in my mouth.

Mmmm... almost in there. Wait, I'm not done. Where did my hands go?I'm so maaaadddd!!!!
Oh, there they are. I love to suck on my hands.I just got my hands figured out mom. Please don't tease me with my feet!

Hey mom, don't leave me out. I am cute too!!!

So cranky!

Nah, I'm just kidding.

Hey...Never mind, I'm just going to eat now.

And don't forget me too, mom.

She can model.

She can cook!

She can even do Tae-Kwan-Do.

Winter cutie!

Putting my sewing machine to sleep.

In case I haven't spread the good news to you...







We are moving.





At the end of the month, the Copelands are packing up and moving waaaayyyyy acrocss..





about 3 miles down the road.



For the past week, we've been getting our house ready to sell. Of course I'm an HGTV junkie and I had to stage my house. Ugh, what a ton of work. This not only meant cleaning EVERYTHING while trying to maintain a sane house with three babes under 2 1/2, but also decluttering every inch of my 1800 sq foot house. Luckily, my mom offered up an unused bedroom for us to store some boxes and "stuff"-- including my sewing machine.



But before I had to say goodbye to her, I did get to make a few little somethings for a few little specail somebodies.





A blanket for Krysta's little boy due to arrive any day.

And an "A" for Adriene onize, a football bib and a little burp towl.


A Valentine's onzie for each of my girls.
Keira's is the XO. Kenli's is the black with red hearts. Kaelyn's is the tan heart with squares on top.


A "K" shirt for Keira.


And then I got more creative and made this one for Kaelyn.


I've made a blanket for the younger two girls (which I don't have pictures of) and I was pinning Kenli's when we started to pack. I'll have to post these later-- when I get my machine back in about a month.

Way too much fun!

Many midwesterners have received a decent amount of snow recently. And today I actually got to stay home and enjoy it with my girls. This is Keira's first time to play in the snow. Kenli got to try it out about a year ago. But as you can see from the story and pictures below, it took a while to get used to this new powdery stuff!

So here's a glimpse of how my afternoon went.

"Hey girls, do you want to put on your new Princess snow boots and go sledding?"

"Mom, I want to try to walk on the snow before I even think about getting on the sled."

"EWWW, it's not as fun as you made it sound!"

"Mama, I don't even want to walk in it. Can you just pick me up, please!"

"Daddy, I don't like this. "

(zoom in on above picture)"HEEEELLLLPPP!!" I don't like it at all."

"Oh, geez mom. I'm glad I made it through that."

"Hey girls, don't stare right at the sun. It can hurt your eyes." (Just kidding. They're looking at the geese flying north to the river).

"Let's get back on the sled."....

"I don't know mom. I don't think I'm going to like this."

"It's okay, Keira. The snow is cool. See, you can play in it like this."

"Well would you look at that. I've got snow on my boots."

"Okay, we'll try this sledding thing one more time, mom."

Well, could you do a couple of cute poses before we take off-- for mommy, PLEASE!!!"

"How's this one? AHHHH!!"

"Look mom, I'm silly too."

"Oh alright, I'll cooperate and smile."

"Hey, let's kiss one more time so she'll hurry up and get this photo stuff over with and we can go sledding."

"Now can we go mom? PLEAAASSSEEE???"

"Okay, girls. We can go."
