Outdoor and Indoor fun

We're finishing off a busy week, BUT tomorrow after the group leaves we are going away for a couple of days. Grandma and Grandpa are going to look after the girls Sun afternoon - Tues afternoon. Sun evening we are going to visit with friends and get to enjoy some uninterrupted adult conversation and games. I will stay and scrapbook for a day and a bit with my friend and Jeff will go back to P-ville to go hunting. It will be a well needed time away from everything.
The pics are about some of the fun things we were up to last week.
We finally have enough snow to go tobogganing. If I do go out with the girls it's usually in the morning, before nap (9-10) otherwise I somehow always get busy doing other stuff that I don't take the time to get all dressed up and brave the cold and wet.

One of the old playground tubes that makes for lots of fun all year round.

Who said outdoor toys are for summer only?? The girls have as much fun on the slide now as they do in the winter. Manouvering the steps is a little more tricky with the books and winter getup, but they manage.

Cheese!!! Can't have outdoor close ups without some snotty noses.

Time to go in.

So we did some more water play in the kitchen. The floor stayed much dryer this time (I took the cloth away from Maya) But Katie decided that she needs to get herself all washed up.

She said it would make her all "liliful" (beautiful)

Sarah, this is for you. Maya loves to play with her little hat you made for her. Thank you so much. Unfortunately she enjoys putting it on a lot more than keeping it on so it is hard to catch her actually wearing it.

TEA PARTY

Katie's new favorite playtime is tea time. Works for me because it gives me an excuse to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea along with the girls.

I can hardly believe that my baby is big enough to have her own special big girl cup. We got two little espresso cups with saucers from my Grosi who passed away last spring. Very special cups for the girls even though Grosi never got around to actually do her beautiful art on them.

Katie's favorite special treat these days: Marshmellows.

Jam works for breakfast and as a facial at the same time.

We finally got a nice picture of Gordie our dog. He weasled his way to a spot in the kitchen (he's not allowed elsewhere in the house, exept our front entryway). He's a good dog and very patient with the girls.

Gotta check on the group. Till next time.
