Snow smiles.

From Sunday. You can see bits of snow in my hair. Really!

3 tired creatures

I was picking up Terry from a doctor's appointment, and came home to find 3 sleepy creatures on the couch.

Warm coat







Towers of Toilet Paper

Hmmm. Kate sure is quiet. Where are you?





Empty boxes...

...Make good toys.

Recipe for a toddler-mess-making.

1) Mom's at church.
2) Dad thinks Kate is with Grandma
3) Grandma thinks Kate is with Dad.
4) Kate is VERY quiet in the kitchen. Creating a concoction of peper, curry, nutmeg, chili powder. IN the spice drawer.

Snow Day!

Today Doug and I had a snow day, due to the icy roads and 3 inches of snow we received. Kate and I got all bundled up, and headed out into the white stuff. We played the 'mittens on mittens off game.' I think if she had more dexterity with them on, they would have been on the whole time. Pretty much the only reason she wanted to go inside was because her hands were so cold.

For a while we were in the front of the house, and I was wiping snow off my car. Kate wanted to do the same thing with her car. She then proceded to the swing set, brushed off the swing, and went for a spin.


Finally, cleaning off and taking a turn at the slide. It was fun watching her dump herself into the snow at the bottom of the slide. The only disappointment of the day was that the snow was so dry, I couldn't make a snow ball, let alone a snow man!






First Snow

On Sunday Morning, we saw our first snow flakes of the winter. Kate, in her pajamas, enjoyed the little flakes a lot. Truly, it IS snowing in these pictures. Yes!! Snow!!



Can I catch one on my tongue?

2 year 5 month self portrait

Kate: I won't smile, but I'll show you the peanuts I'm eating for a snack. Okay, this is a little better. A little.


Halloween 2010, part 2

The official Lady Bug pictures, with the 'warm' clothing underneath for the trick or treating. She wasn't very into posing for the pictures . . . But I was able to sneak this one in when she came to look and the previous picture I took.









Halloween 2010, part 1

Welcome to pumkin carving 2010. Kate was very interested in watching what I was doing.

She did try scooping guts. Once. Then declared it too yucky, messy, so I had the honors of finising up the cleaning duties.

Pumkin design picked out by Doug via the internet.
So, what are the odds that I'll get the pumkin off the front porch in enough time that I won't need a shovel?
