Snow Day

The girls finally got to play in the snow over the weekend.
(I think its safe to say they enjoyed themselves.) *grin*

In the beginning you can just hear Taylor talking to Daddy. I think is something along the lines of:
"Whoa!"
*giggle*
"I got it!"
(She liked walking along with David being an independent 'big girl'.)

The audio for the 3rd clip goes something like this:
"Leah stuck."
"I stuck."
"Daddy can fix it?"
"Daddy can fix it?"
David asking her how it happened, and in typical Leah fashion she replies
"Hmmmmmmm"

And in the last clip you can hear Taylor helping me finish the ever popular "Ready... Set...Go"
(Is her giggle totally infectious or what?)

Bucket Heads

Our girls love wearing hats.
Baseball hats. Stocking Hats. Their Dad's hats. Grandpa's Hats. Bucket Hats.

And, they also like wearing buckets as hats.
Yup. That's not a typo. Leah especially spent most of this past weekend wearing an orange bucket on her head.

Life with toddlers can be strange.



Sorry about the red eye. For some reason my Kodak software refused to fix it.

Little Pink Marshmallows

The girls finally got to wear their winter gear outside a couple of weeks ago... It'd been a very odd winter to that point. There had been very little snow & what we had gotten always seemed to melt within 24 hours of it falling

In mid-January we'd had a couple of days (and nights) of nasty winds - nasty as in 50-60 mph gusts that literally rocked our house nasty. Needless to say (but I'm going to say it anyway) we had a very large yard covered with sticks the size of small trees.

So, it was cold, but very dry (everything had been blow-dried for 2 days after all) so the girls got to head outside to play while David & I tried to clean up the lawn.

Don't let Leah's look fool you, she was very happy to be outside... she just wasn't thrilled that she was still in the wagon and not running around the yard yet.

Either that or she took offense to my well-meaning "you guys look like little pink marshmallows" comment. The jury's still out on that one. :)


Taylor had no problem hamming it up for the camera, when she wasn't busy helping us pick up all the sticks that is. We were flabbergasted by the size of the limbs this little bit was dragging to the trailer. By herself. Refusing (rather adamantly I might add) all assistance from us.





Leah, on the other hand, was apparently still holding a grudge about the wagon. LOL

Quick Run Down

Just a few of the things the girls have been up to since my last post:

• Running
• Drawing
  
• Spinning in circles
• Dancing
• Singing
• Zipping (They spent a good week a little before Christmas zipping and unzipping their PJs)
  
• Climbing
• Putting puzzles together.
• Building towers. (Mostly Taylor)
  
• Knocking down towers. (Mostly Leah.)
  
• Riding/rocking on their unicorns. (I'll see if I can find a picture and post later.)
  
• No fear of going up or down the stairs. (Together, alone, during the day, in the dark, with and without us anywhere near them) Did I mention the girls REALLY like heading upstairs when their parents have no plans to be on the upper level? *chuckle*
  
• Talking in sentences.
• Problem solving. (Which occasionally serves to create problems for Mom & Dad - but is impressive and entertaining nonetheless).
• Asserting our independence & steadfastly sticking to our opinions on everything from which shirt to wear to which fruit we'd like to eat at lunch. (Don't know where that comes from, I think I'll blame their Dad.) LOL
  
• Reciting favorite books & rhymes.
• Picture reading.
• Hearing and comprehending waaaaaaaaay more than I'd like them too sometimes. LOL

I know I'm forgetting stuff, but at least this is a start. :)
