Warm winter day

A series of warm, unexpected (but much appreciated) days have come my way. Days like today bring on a lot more outdoor time, which as you can see below, makes me very happy.

Thanks Josie for capturing me on film!

The road to the super bowl is paved with a lot of hard work, but after much explanation I understand that football equals good snacks and that good snack are cooked by a happy Green Bay Packer fan. Touch down Packers!!!

Winter weather, Act II: The snowman

A quick snow this afternoon and a snowman just my size. Quite frankly he was kind of scary to me. I didn't get very close to see what he was all about.

My favorite words with respect to the snow this winter have been "I'm done." And so I walked away from the happy snowman.

Broom

A gift from Mama, I love the multiple uses (dancing partner, object to ride) of my broom. Mommy likes it too as I have figured out that I should also clean under Behbe's bunk beds.

Tick

Part of the bedtime routine is the "tick." The neck tick especially. When Mommy gets out the lotion I make sure that she comes after my neck, even though I know how giggly it makes me.

Tea party

Complete with plates, food, and willing participants, the Behbe's and I have been having picnic style tea parties this week. For the most part my platings have made sense (butter with corn, banana's for the behbies, sucking the yogurt out of the container for me) and meals have been been pretty balanced.

Kitty Keyboard Dancing

My dancing is starting to evolve from the basic "bunny hop."

Let it snow

First and may be the only snow fall for us, so we were out early to play in it. I actually said I was done after a few minutes, but was coaxed into riding in the sled and throwing a snow ball.

Tennessee two step

Now granted they are about three sizes too big, but nothing will stop me from kicking up my heels and starring in an episode of "you think you can dance." Pete is a good audience and was rewarded during one of the songs.

Behbe on my back

Behbe has a special carrier and I love to use it to tote her around. I'm still a little bit of a nervous mother as I continue to look over my shoulder to make sure Behbe is still there.

Babysitting Brian: an extra set of hands

Carol was here to visit of the New Year's weekend and was able to help me with our after church babysitting gig with baby Brian. While he was sleeping she also got to check out my new bunk beds for Behbe.
