It's a Snow Day

5 days till Christmas and we finally got some snow... Wahoooo...

Here's some of the fun that we've been having today...

Girls and I got up and had bowls of Cheerios together... it was so much fun and even more fun when i found the contents of one bowl on the floor.. oh well ... there was no milk in the bowl (I give it to them dry) so it was easy enough to pick up..

Elmo had breakfast with us today.. Lily fed him some cereal bar and possibly some pancake too.. it's so great to see her imagination growing by leaps and bounds already.

Lily and Anna had a great time twirling with Daddy in the living room.. I tried to get it on the video camera but I was a little late..

Since Daddy slept in... I couldn't make us all pancakes for breakfast so instead I made everyone pizza for lunch.. I had gotten a pizza kit at the grocery store yesterday.. It came out so great and we ate the entire thing..

While the girls napped I turned our bedroom into a wrapping area and got all the presents wrapped for Lily, Anna, S and D. Then I attacked the girls closet and took out all the clothing that we should still be able to wear in the spring or early summer. Plus I think a few people have gotten them some clothing for the holidays so I needed to make room for that in their closet.

While I was working on the closet, Lily got a chance to look out the window in their room at the snow on the ground.. she had a great time doing that.. especially when I took an empty laundry basket and turned it over for her to stand on at the window.

We've had some cute moments today in toddler speak.. They were watching Sesame Street on On Demand and they got to their favorite part (Elmo's World) and at the end Elmo told his fish Dorothy to say "goodbye" and both Anna and Lily said "Buh Bye" and "Bye Bye".

Maybe by our next snowy day the girls will be able to go out and play in the snow..

Long time no Blog Posts

Sorry about that... time has been scarce lately... with Holiday preparations and trying to get my knitting done and then finding out that Lily needs glasses to hopefully fix her eyes (she's farsighted) and trying to get her to wear them (unsuccessful so far).. so what shall I post? I'm pretty close to finishing one of the knitted party dresses. I'm looking forward to being done so I can concentrate more on dress #2 which will be pink and yellow with some white mixed in. I also want to move on to a new project.. maybe a hat this time.. my local knitting store is collecting helmet liners for the troops that are currently in Iraq or was it Afganistan. I so want to be able to make at least 1 to send but at the rate that I knit the war might be over by the time I finish or get a chance to start.

The girls and I had a few fun moments today in the car.. we were leaving daycare and on our way to Grandma's when it started.. the little mouth noises.. Anna was doing them first and then Lily joined in.. before I knew it Anna switched to blowing "raspberries" and then Lily joined in blowing them too.. I couldn't help myself and I blew some back at them which started about 4 or 5 more rounds of raspberries being blown. I had such a fit of the giggles with this... As we got on our way home Anna and Lily started blowing the raspberries again.. such cuteness. It was hard to not join in again..

Both Anna and Lily are getting to be creatures of habit.. as we drove home from Grandma's tonight and turned down our street, they started to very excitedly say... "Dada... Daddy... Dada... Daddy" over and over.. I felt bad bursting their bubbles with the news that Daddy wouldn't be home when we got there. They seemed to be ok with this but it was amazing for me to realize that they know that when we get home from daycare (usually) that Daddy will be there waiting for us and will come and help us up to the apartment.
