Winter stuff

Here's some videos of us at the park on a snowy Saturday.  I brought the snow shovel along so that I could make huge pile of snow on the slide for the girls to slide through.  They mostly had a good time.

But occasionally, they didn't hit the ground the way they liked.

And they sometimes got snow in their boots.

This is how BB turns half a block into a 15 minute walk.  We would pick her up and carry her, but she always has such a big smile on her face.

No denying that winter has arrived.

At least winter givers us the excuse to wear fancy feathered sweaters.

Passing time indoors

We can only play outside for so long before we freeze our butts off. In the meantime.... Superhero fighting, but first they must find the perfect superhero outfit and weapons.

 Dancing helps pass time when you are stuck indoors.


And to finish this post off I leave you with Bea eating her favorite breakfast these days (seasame seed bagels with cream cheese and a large hot chocolate). As you can see she still prefers to dress herself.

Bea's school pictures

Full disclosure: we forgot that it was picture day.  Had we remembered, we would not have dressed her in her Mini Mouse hula outfit.

Here are a few of my favorites.  This is her mischievous face.

And my favorite:

And the rest

More Winter Videos

I have a feeling there may be a lot of these.  The farmer's almanac is predicting the snowiest winter on record.  Pretty soon our neighborhood ice skating rink should be set up, so I'm sure we'll take full advantage of that.  Sorry these videos aren't so great, but the lighting in the park is pretty bad in places.

Update on baby name.  Were starting to hone in on what we like.  The current lean is Amalie Catherine (Amalie Cate) or Amalie Grace.

The first few snowy days

So walking home with the girls has been taking longer due to the extra snow. The girls would rather crawl in the snow than to go home.




Maggie's snow angel. Also, both girls still love eating the snow and ice despite our warnings there could be pee and trash in the snow.



Stay tuned because Chris has a few more videos and pictures of our adventures outside in the snow.
