You Knew It was Coming....

Well, our lucky finally ran out. Good Ole' Winter finally arrived! We have been trying to keep busy indoors!

We've done some projects....

Making a snowman.... Mommy's kind.

Mommy's not a big fan of the cold or building snowmen! So, we did it her way! With paper, yarn, and glue! I had Mya work on her fine motor skills a bit while lacing a pretty border around her snowman's face.


A Paint in the Bag Snowflake

Mommy cut out a pretty snowflake, put it in a baggy,  let Mya choose 2 colors of paint, and add a texturized ball.

And then we SHAKE IT!!!

TA-DA! A beautiful snowflake!

THEN THE WINTER STORM HIT AND WE COULDN'T HOLD OFF ANY LONGER!
All bundled up and ready to sled on her new tube!

Daddy says, "Watch and learn!" We watched... and learned that he is TOO big for her tube! FUNNY!

Mya's turn with a little push from Daddy!

Snow bunny- She's always claimed she prefers winter over summer! She must not be my daughter....

Eating the snow- Hope someone told her not to eat the yellow snow! ;-)

Daddy took Mya sledding down the REAL snow hill in Lake Zurich the next day.  Unfortunately, Daddy didn't take any pictures! But, they had a blast!
