More winter fun for your viewing enjoyment.

Little sisters, future conspirators.

 Harper likes to keep Mama or Daddy company when they're doing dishes.  This time SUPER HARPER was a SUPER companion.  Also: AvaSullivan.

Another night she worked on an "art pwoject."

 Daddy took the car to get inspected, Mama took the nerds to Applebee's for lunch.

 Mama is a sucker for the little sundae shooters.

 It was Lion's birthday!  (Again!)

Harper worked hard on the Lego and fuzzy food menu and all the cool animals were invited.

 Then they had to watch Lion open his presents.

 Chalk + Snow = February 2014

 "I AM UNDERWATER. YOU CANNOT HEAR ME VERY WELL"

Close, Harper...so close.

 And what were they plugged into?  A defunct gen2 iPod.

 1 top tooth down, 1 to go.

 Grumps!

 We don't look alike or anything.

 Apologies in advance for the eyebrows, kid.

 Who needs side eye when your stink eye is PERFECTION?

 Wion.

 Starbucks Lady Date!

 Harper took Dr. Seuss Week's "Wacky Wednesday" celebration very seriously.  Or not seriously.  Which was the point.

 Luke's New Year's Resolution.  

"I will mac mr frends."

 Reading! To Mama and Harper!

 Daddy showed Luke and Harper a you tube mash up of Bond gadgetry.

The next morning Luke got to work on Spy Headquarters.

 While his sister waited for muffins.

 Spy breakfast was eaten in Spy HQ.

 We headed to Mt. Kisco (and the parking-lot-adjacent Party City) for the St. Patrick's Day parade!  Luke and Harper tried on some greenery.

 Luke chose a velvety bowler, Harper a light up shamrock necklace.

 "Make with the bagpipes."

 Harper was delighted to run into her friends Blake & Devon from school!

 "Mama and Daddy Dancing" by Harper

 Harper and Poison Ivy at the Lego Store

Luke and Aquaman.

 Mama and Luke checked out Frozen last weekend.  Loved it!

Glamorous, even in the Home Depot parking lot.

 Taking the baby dolls for a walk.

 2nd top front tooth down!

 So yes, the tooth fairy has been here 3 times in the last two weeks.

KARATE HULK Snowman

Harper got an assignment for school - make a snowman with your family and bring it in to share with your friends.  It needed to be small enough to display in school and move around easily, and they encouraged it to be a  family affair.

After much deliberation and careful consideration, Harper decided she wanted to make a HULK SNOWMAN.  (of course)

Daddy purchased the supplies and on a snowy weekend (what else as there been?), we dug in!

Luke helped.

Shirts were removed for painting.

SPARKLY green paint!

Recyclables were utilized as an adhoc drying rack.

Harper voiced a lot of opinions about Daddy's progress.  And asked a lot of questions.

At the last minute, she decided he should be KARATE HULK, so the pink belt was added.  And a scarf.  Naturally.

All done!

KARATE HULK SMASH!

The description we submitted.

With Luke's label. In case there was any question.

Meanwhile, Luke was getting excited for his birthday party.  He decided to write a story about it that he said he was going to "pass out to my friends before my party.  They can take turns."

It's Luke's world, kids, you're just living in it.
