Baby It's Cold Outside

Lately it's been COLD and SNOWY and we have been 

trying to keep busy as winter sets in.

Extreme Play Doh Creations:

I rolled the balls for our blueberry "suckers"

but she decided to make a "big big ice cream cone!"

She also loves to mix all the colors together.

There should be a law against that.

Taking both babies to Harmons & Target...

the two stores she recognizes and 

names when we pull up.

(and they both give stickers at the checkout!)

Painting.

This girl loves arts and crafts and painting is 

about as cool as it gets right now.

The cats have been hanging out inside a lot more

now since they can't do much out in the snow and 

Mabel loves to play with Fritz.

She is getting a lot softer, and Fritz is getting 

more needy for attention so it's a win win.

She wanted me to take a picture of her tiger on

his back. "Silly Fritz" she said.

She likes to "write notes" to people and then read them.

The other day I found her on the couch reading a note to

her baby. I love how she is holding baby's head to

make sure she is paying attention. :)

She is still a bookworm and has started to want to read the books 

to me now.  They always start with "Once Upon a Time" and 

it's cute to hear what she picks up and remembers from a book.

This is her just being silly.

My favorite part is, "Say cheese turtle!"

Turtle is her best friend.

Storytime at the library has been on break for almost two months and we really

miss it each week! However, we found a few new TV shows on Netflix 

so that has been a nice break for mama. She loves Daniel Tiger's 

Neighborhood and Super Why.

She loves looking at the Christmas tree and will

sit in the green chair next to it and just talk about the ornaments.

She also thinks it's hilarious that Fritz sleeps underneath.

She has been wanting to build a snowman so bad so 

the other day we got all dressed in our snow clothes and

went out to build one.

Unfortunately the snow was too 

powdery and dry and wouldn't really stick

together so we built a snow lump

and put the face on it.

Then she was entertained by sticking the

turkey baster in the snow which I thought was pretty 

funny!

We are looking forward to the new aquarium opening in Draper!

Hopefully it will open soon. (hurry up!)

We also have plans to go to the children's museum down at the 

Gateway, and also the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving

Point. Winter activities so we (I) don't go crazy!
