Anybody seen a doctor?

During our prayers tonight, our conversation went something like this:

Emma: Mommy, are all the people sick?

Me: um, no.

Emma: Who is sick so that we can pray for them?

Me: Uh, well daddy is sick, remember, he has a sore throat.

Emma: Oh yeah, he has a sword froat, just like you had a pickle (i.e. tickle) in your froat.

My "Activia"

Here is Emma with her handmade "activia," aka nativity. Despite my continued correction to her mispronunciation, her version still remains.

Winter Wonderland

So we made it outside before all of the snow
had melted. The snow was wet...perfect for making snow balls to throw at each other.

Emma thought it was so fun.











Madelyn, on the other hand, wasn't thrilled.

We did manage to build a snowman. He was about 6" tall and only had arms. At least we tried!

After 10 minutes of cold, wet fun, I bribed the girls with some hot chocolate so that I could defrost!

Swaddling for Toddlers

So the girls wanted to be swaddled like a baby. They got their favorite blankets, and I rolled them up tight. The couldn't move at all...but you know what? They loved it! What's even better-I loved it...they were playing together but separated and couldn't fight.
