A day of PLAY

Today I decided to dedicate the WHOLE day to Cole and Ali. I try to everyday of course... but I really wanted to just play with them. So we woke up and had pancakes, then I made a treasure hunt around the house and drew pictures of where the next clue was hiding... leading to a peice of candy for our treasure. Then Cole made one for me and his scribbles on paper were my clues. It was cute. Then we played in the snow and watched movies. It was fun to take a day off of normal mom stuff. No errands, no cleaning, nothing but the kids. I need to do this more often!

Whats cookin?

My friend made these really cute reversible aprons for Ali and I to match. I love how they turned out. Now I guess we need to go bake something!

Bath time

My kids literally played in the bath for an hour straight yesterday. They made mountains of bubbles pretending it was snow (not that they dont get enough of that in our backyard). They have quite the imagination and it was fun to just watch them.

My turn!

Lately Ali wants to be big... she loves getting her hair curled, nails painted, make-up (chapstick), etc. She doesnt want help with anything and wants to walk everywhere. The cutest thing she did was the other day....


Last time Cole got done with his little violin lesson Ali ran up to her dad and said "My turn" and she held the violin like a pro. So I guess she is starting really young!
