Winter, you fickle tease.


Dang...I got my wish, winter has come and it is cold!  It snowed just enough earlier this week to cover the gross brown grass and give everything a fresh, cold, white wash.  We are expected to get some more snow over night tonight and into tomorrow and I intend to be prepared!

  • I am going to make these colored ice cubes to play with outside this weekend.
  • Stew is on the menu, and nothing goes better with stew than fresh bread.  These are too cute.
  • If I'm going to go green, I'm going to bring my groceries home in these cute totes.  I adjusted the directions a little bit, because I used fabric (that was on super clearance at the Wals-Mart) instead of pillow cases.  But the idea is the same.  Maybe I'll start teaching Abby how to make them this weekend if we're snowed in.
  • And, since I haven't baked in awhile, I think we might embark on making our own Girl Scout Cookies this weekend.
We stumbled upon story time at our local library last Thursday morning and we went again this morning.  There were probably 8 or 9 other kids between the ages of 1 and 4 at story time this morning and Finn is proving to be...well, not shy.  He sidled up to the librarian as she pulled out the second story book (probably because it had a cat on the cover and he loves cats!) and then turned his little self around and plopped right into her lap!  I love that he loves to read and we stocked up on new books this morning to get us through our snowy weekend.  

Happy Thursday, friends!  Bundle up, it's awfully cold outside!
