Things We Do When It Won't STOP SNOWING

Here's a sampling of some things we do when it won't stop snowing:

1.) Lay around in our sleeping bags - it's cold (esp. since Mom and Dad keep the house a balmy 68 degrees!)


2.) Do laundry - or just look cute while we look like we are doing laundry.


3.) And when things get desperate we paint, color, or pull out some other random craft to mix things up!


I'm in a serious need of some "it's warm enough to open the windows" weather. The house could use some fresh air. I can only rearrange the furniture so many times to try and create that "fresh feeling"! I also have spring cleaning type projects piling up around the house. There are LOADS of outgrown clothes in all of the girls' closets. There is misc. crap all over the garage - but who wants to be out there in this cold? There is lots of woodwork in the house that needs to be painted. And so on and so on. Plus I'd love to taking walks with the girls! Soon soon right?!

Snug as a Bug

I was busy with the two other girls and though Addie was quietly playing in the office. At some point, I got curious/suspicious and tracked her down. She had gathered up pig, mouse, two pillows, and a blanket and made herself all cozy in Stella's crib. It was very sweet. Then when she got up, she covered up her stuffed animals, quietly shut the door, and then with a stern eye said, "Shhhh, they are sleeping!"

Tea For Three

At Christmas time, the girls got far more presents than they could play with at once. I tucked some under the bed for a "Rainy Day" to be rediscovered at some point. Well, they were rediscovered this morning when the girls discovered the plastic tub under my bed! : ) Regardless, they were thrilled to be playing tea party. Even Stella got in on the action.

Billboard

We posed for some photos for one of my mom's organizations called Operation Us. They will be used to market their events. They focus on providing relationship education to the community. Their theme for this year is "Get It Together" - encouraging couples to go together to the classes. I think Addie looks hilarious in this photo - she was not cooperating at all that day and this serious look was about all we could get from her - that or tantruming... : )

First Friends

I suppose like many children with older siblings - most of play dates in our house are with the 2 year old crowd. Luckily for Stella - there are two other little ones her age in our group of friends! Stella and Marley are only a month apart in age and love to gaze at each other and smile. Owen is four months older and ever ready to show the girls how it is done. Before we know it, they will all be chasing each other around in full force like the 2 year olds!

(Love the photo with Stella blinded by the light - its almost like she's saying "I'm trying to SMILE but I'm nearly BLIND!!!!)
