Building a Snowman

Rolling along

Building

"This is my little sister."

What to do on a snowy day in the Spring

Go for a short walk in your flip flops

Say Cheese

Get Snow Hair

Play with your sleigh

Make it push snow until it become disconnected from the runners

So this is May huh?!

Have a Snowball fight

Let Mom prove she was there

Eat Snow

"I Love Snow"

"It's delicious!"

Build a Snowman

Tommorrow:  Snowman building

The Weather Report

A lovely drizzle of rain with the odd sprinkling of snow.

Mostly that lovely drizzle of rain.

Temperatures dropped

Snow came

It was gone by the afternoon. 

Sunday continued cool, windy and snowless.

Monday, May 24, 2010

Snow, Snow, Snow!

Doesn't this look like a mouse trying to catch snowflakes in its mouth?

Snow "man"

"Must.....Keep......Going"

(See head down in a parka leaning into the wind?)

 4 1/2 inches on the table.

I'm not making this up.

Tommorrow:  Winter play in Spring?

This morning as I was going about my business I began to notice a little mimic.

She has her own style (she wore a pink ball cap for a while) but she was copying me just the same.

It started at the table as I went through the ads and then a magazine

I glanced up after reading for a while and she was staring at the page, hand to her cheek, glancing up at me.   Copying me exactly.

In the bathroom she set up shop

Chose her own reading materials and joined me.

And then put her potty away when she was done

one piece at a time.

Before I went to get my camera her books were scattered all around her so she could see them.  Things changed once the camera arrived.  That may be as it should be.

It's a good reminder.  She's always watching

Disclaimer:  no potty going actually occurred during the shooting of these pictures.

In the process of cutting out material for different projects I use a rotary cutter.

This is a source of fascination to my children and consternation to me.

I like them to be involved in whatever I am doing, but those blades are sharp.

I could find no good solution until I happened on this wooden pastry cutt

It has been the most magical of "cutting" tools

This little girl not only takes her cutting seriously, she's on the ball.

Wearing a dress known as "Preee, Preee."  Which is being interpreted, "Pretty, Pretty"

Over the top of a hoodie of course!

Not one to miss out on the fun Mowg gives it a go in a more conventional manner.

In between cuttings he takes time to hone his shooting skills

We went to a wedding recently

There was a little girl who wouldn't let go of hat.  She was looking for her Dad

She found him.

Some indoor pictures

Who taught him how to pose?!

Waiting for the wedding to begin

(waiting happens when you show up an hour early!)

Walking around

There were pictures to be taken

Food to be eaten (there's a pig roasting in there!)

Dances to be Danced

What's a twirly dress good for except a great twirl!

Swinging

Extra help with pushing

Walks and talks

Then more just walks

She would not let go of the hat

There was a dog slightly humiliated

Seeks assurance from a small girl

We're so glad we got to witness the happy occasion.

The culmination of a lot of hard work.

A lovely day for two lovely people.
