Keeping Busy in the Cold

Keeping busy on cold blustery days is always a challenge in these parts, but lately we've been doing a pretty good job.

One thing for sure is that finger painting with two toddlers is noting short of busy given their relative attention spans. I must admit that though fun and extremely cute, i may think twice before I pull this project out again

 One lucky day, we happened upon an injured owl release before a skiing adventure. Elsa was completely enamored with the little guy and was happy when he flew to a near by tree, so that she could  sit underneath and watch him for awhile.

 Sometimes all we really want to do is sit around and read on the couch

or maybe watch a little Sesame Street.

Though generally we like to brave the elements and play outside!

Winter's Arrival

 Winter has finally made it to the Great North and Miss Elsa couldn't be more excited. As the first flakes began to fall, Elsa raced to the window shouting "What's this, what's this?" Since then, it's been almost as hard to keep her out of the fluffy white stuff as it has been hard to keep her in a pair of gloves. Our first few outings did present some challenges when she couldn't figure out why her her little hands were so uncomfortable. Thus far, no amount of reasoning has convinced her of the virtues of the mitten. Luckily for her however, Nanna was in town to tend to cold digits keeping spirits up and smiles aplenty.
