Ice/Snow Day #4

Am I really blogging about Ice/Snow Day #4....Yep!!! This is crazy but I sure am enjoying the time at home. So here's how our day went today....

We have ducks in the pond behind our house. Now those have to be some cold ducks. Aren't they supposed to go south for the winter?


I'm surprised I got this smile out of Whitney. Shortly after this picture we braved the drive to her pediatrician to find out she has a double ear infection. Poor baby. I knew something was wrong with her last night. Glad we made the choice to take her today, that would have been one miserable weekend.


After the doctor we finally got Wyatt out in the snow. He had a blast!!!


The pond started freezing up. Those ducks are crazy for staying here.

Getting ready to make a snowman. Didn't notice this while I was taking this picture but that smile on David's face sure looks suspicious. No worries. Nothing happened. Thanks to the expensive camera and baby monitor I was holding.

Wyatt threw snow up and it went right in his face. Wasn't too fond of that.

Helping Daddy build a snowman.

Does he have his "cheese" pose down or what. Snapped this after I told him to stop and say cheese.

The boys attempt at a snowman. Hey, we're Texans we don't know anything about building snowmen. Maybe we'll get another shot at it next week. Heard there's more snow on the way.

Playing Snow Soccer.

Bet you didn't know you can mow snow.

Baking cookies. Wyatt had to line the cutters up in a choo-choo first.

Rolling out the cookie dough.

Taking the cookie cutter job very seriously.

The best part of the job....eating the icing.

Look at that focus on his face!

Adding the final touches.

Enjoying the final product. He only had 1 cookie and it took 1 full hour to burn off the sugar.

We have thoroughly enjoyed the time off this week. So glad it's Friday and we have 2 more days to stay home!

Cabin Fever....

So third day in a row we stayed home. I could have gone to work today but Whitney decided to have a party all night in her room. She must have forgotten to send out the invitations. I clearly would not have gone to this party, but I WAS THERE. All night!!!! During the day she was great up until about 5 pm. Decided she wanted to skip that nap and turned into cranky baby. If you know Whitney, you know she hardly EVER cries. Seriously, the other day at school her teachers told me she cried for the 2nd time since she was 6 weeks old. She's the happiest baby except for tonight. She had a screaming uncontrollable fit for about an hour. It completely broke our hearts and we had to handle her in shifts. We finally gave her Motrin and I rocked her to sleep. Not sure what's wrong. Only thing I can think is she has an ear infection cuz she is not taking her bottles at all and sits up every time you lay her back. So we'll be going to the doctor tomorrow.
As for the rest of the day with Wyatt was amazing. He slept until 9 am! We had a very funfilled day.
We.....
*played with playdough
*built a fort
*kept taking his toys AWAY from Whitney
*snacked, ate lunch, snacked again
*sucked the boogies out of his teddybear's nose and gave him a shot. Can you tell who he watches.
*Showed Whitney how to crawl.
*jumped off his stroller onto a pile of pillows and said "Momma, watch this!" every single time.
*Had "Donalds" for dinner.
*Went to bed.........oh no wait, technically he's IN bed but soooo not asleep. I'm pretty sure he's turned his bed into a trampoline!

Here's our fort. Could use some work I know. We had so much fun reading books in the fort with a flashlight.


Wyatt fixing the fort with his sister watching.

Won't see a smile in this picture. This is how she looked pretty much all day. Poor thing.

She's been trying so hard to crawl. She can definetly move backwards and in circles. Just can't get the forward motion down. I'm in no hurry. When she figures that out were in TROUBLE!

Taking her brothers toys again.

Jumping Wyatt!

His number 1 fan is watching him. He told her before every jump "Watch this baby girl"! So cute.

So the word is we're supposed to get more snow tonight, next Monday and wintery mix next Thursday. Seriously. Is mother nature confusing us with Canada? Too cold for this Texan!

Brrrr....It's soooo cold outside!
