Here is Erica, getting ready to go outside and help me shovel. Note I managed to get the dreaded boots on her little feet. I think she was as sick of being in the house as I was.
Oh yeah, Erica's managed to figure out the toddler smile. Can you believe how much snow we had?
Here's the closeup of the toddler smile. We've got years now to enjoy this. I've seen 3 year olds who still do this.
Oh yeah, snow still tastes good, even if there is a foot and a half of it.
Erica loved walking up and down the shoveled driveway, sticking her hands in the snow as she walked along.
Right before we came inside, Erica decided she was going to help mama shovel. Mental note, need to put a toy snow shovel on her Christmas list.
Erica's favorite new toy: the stool! I made cookies one of the snow days, and brought the stool up to the counter so she could help me make cookies. Now she drags the stool all over the house. I've vastly changed the "babyproofing" landscape with this. Look how happy she is though? And she's so cute as she says "stool, stool, stool" dragging her new found height around the house.
Thankfully grandma and grandpa made it over the second snow day. Erica and I were running out of things to do to entertain each other. Grandpa showed up and they put numbers on their heads....
While grandma and mama made a Halloween gingerbread house! It was a fun couple of hours that kept everyone sane.
Here's a closeup of the back of the gingerbread house. Mom and I made the spider out of junior mints and toothpicks. We are SO talented!
Do you believe that Halloween pictures are next???
