So this year has been filled with snow and it has been so exciting! I know that people get blue after holidays but I, for one, was glad it was white! I have never seen it snow so much in my life! I have been having so much fun making mini snowmen on the back deck! That is the best place because the snow stays clean.
George is getting more accustomed to the snow and even though he does not really want to touch it, at least he will spend some time out in it! He has to wear his marshmallow man jacket though to keep him warm. We don't want any breathing issues this year! Thank goodness for Singulair.
This is my new Cabbage Patch doll! Nana and Papa gave it to me for Christmas and I love her! She goes everywhere with me so I took her to Mimi and Grandpas then next weekend to spend the night and I guess that Maggie got a little jealous so she thought that she would get a little snuggle it! She also took my lovey! Don't get too comfortable Maggie!
George loves to ride the rocking horse at over there! He can pretty much do everything himself now! So much different than just a couple of months ago! He is so much more coordinated than before! Way to go George!
Then it was time to take down the Christmas tree and since I put all of the ornaments off, it was a good idea that I take them down. Mama took down our tree Christmas night so when we awoke, it was like it was all a dream only all of the toys stayed! She was glad to have our den back! It is small enough without the tree!
Then we played in Mimi and Grandpa's snow. George, of course, took his lovey with him. We had to sneak the lovey away later to get it in the wash. We call it operation clean lovey. Mommy and Daddy have to sneak in his room at night, wash it, dry it and return it before he wakes up!
I tried wearing gloves but they were a little big. Maybe next time I will get some gloves my own size. After being outside for a while, George even got his hands into it a bit. As you can see, he still has his red Keds. He won't wear anything else!
After all of that playing, we worked up an appetite! Georgie worked up a big mess too! The spaghetti was so much fun to eat! I don't know if you can see her but Maggie is always below us so that she can catch all of our droppings! Gretch does the same thing!
Later that night, I read everyone books before bed and I do such a good job. I read like Miss Connie at school and really love the attention. I like to describe what I see on the page sometimes but other times I just say "and they say..." It was a really fun visit and Mama and Daddy had some time to themselves!
Yes, there is a potty on the front porch. It is from my birthday and has been out there for 2 months now. After this picture was taken, it promptly went to the garbage. You do not need to call the authorities!
The next weekend, Mama was studying for the NCLEX and so Daddy, Mimi and Grandpa took us to the indoor amusement park called Tree Top. It was so much fun there! They had this really big jungle gym that had netting up so it was safe for us little ones!
George has fun riding the motorcycle! He is too little to really play the game but it was fun just the same! It even matched his clothes! Mama says that it is okay to like pretend motorcycles but not the real thing.
Then we played the stomp game, which was something fun for us to do together. We just laughed and laughed! Our laughs are really contagious! It was a really fun afternoon and a great place for us to have fun inside on such cold wet days!
The next day, Mama noticed that we were being really quiet and this is where she found us. One would think that we were just looking outside at the beautiful scenery but if one would think twice, one would know better!
We won some stamps at the Tree Top and I thought that George needed to have some all over his face and hands. I just thought that I needed them all over my hands and legs! Just a reminder to Mama and Daddy...a quiet child is either sleeping or causing a mess! Too funny!
This past weekend was Mimi's birthday brunch and it was so much fun! We gave her a craft box that has her name on it and it was in this great big princess bag! Can you guess who picked it out?! We ate at the Village Tavern and although the food was fabulous, the service was NOT!
I love birthdays because I get to open most of the presents. George does not have much interest yet but I know it is just a matter of time so I better make the most of it!
There was so much stuff in the craft box! We REALLY wanted to play with it right then! I think that she really liked it! Things were really good but then the wheels came off! It took forever for us to get our food and George had had enough. In his defense, Mama and Daddy made the mistake of taking us to Krispy Kreme that morning for breakfast so we had a sugar crash. What were they thinking!
We tried everything but he just was not having it! Mama ended up taking him from the table and her and Omega walked him around outside! It is a wonder that that Omega did not decide to come early. Needless to say, she ended up getting her food to go so that she could actually enjoy it!
It was a good meal but should have only taken us about an hours instead of two! It was good to get together and celebrate Mimi! Next time, we will probably go somewhere else though if Us kiddos are going to come! :-) Happy Birthday to the best Mimi ever!
