Let It Snow

We were supposed to get a bunch of snow.. well, at least a bunch of snow for our part of the country. It started late last night and snowed until about noon today before warming up. Daddy and I took the girls outside to play briefly in the snow that had accumulated. Leia refused to wear a hat and she wanted in not long after we got outside. Mira loved the snow. She started throwing snowballs once Adia started throwing them at me. They've got pretty good aim.














We did manage to roll enough snow together to make a snowman too.

Baby it's cold outside

We blinked and it got cold again. No more walks to the park for a bit. It actually snowed yesterday and it's supposed to be a wintry mix again today. The girls hate being cooped up. At least we have more room to move now.




Daddy's been playing lots of board games with Adia. He's been trying to teach her chess and checkers. He discovered computer chess is a much better way to go. She's learning to use a mouse and play chess!




Every night, I go into Adia's room and read a few books before bed. Meanwhile, Daddy has to wrangle the twins and try to knock them out or at least get them to be quiet. I knew things were a bit too quiet last night. I came out of Adia's room to find this:




When I first walked out, I thought Leia was already in bed and it was just Daddy and Mira nose to nose. I peeled back the blanket a bit to grab Mira and noticed Leia's little head. I couldn't help but take a picture. It was just too sweet. He told me that Mira had originally been facing away from him and then Leia climbed in the middle. He doesn't really remember anything after that though.

It's been great living so close to the park. We walk there whenever the weather is nice enough. Hopefully, we'll get to go this evening too. Last time we went it got chilly though.

The other day, when both twins were napping, Adia and I made valentines. It was lots of fun and I know Adia had a blast too.




We also made our annual Valentine's trip to Build a Bear. The place was mobbed, but the girls each picked out a bear. Mira copied everything Adia did, but Leia wanted nothing to do with the process.







It was nice yesterday do we walked to the park. Leia ate sand, Mira loved the swings and Adia ran around like a crazy person.




Then there's block building with Papa,




Bathtime,




And parties on the table.
