Winter Indoor play

So, its really, really, really cold here. Unbelievably cold. We have taken to the indoors over the last weekend.

Olivia spent some time with Daddy playing Sesame Street games on the computer...
We have also had lots of phone time. Olivia has talked to Grandmama, Grandma and Papa, Grandpa, and, of course, Auntie Stephanie, Max and Sebastian. She just has so much to say...
Olivia also has enjoyed being a Princess both in her shoes and her crown that she made at school...
Mommy has had some time to do some things too, like baking and, well, a little cleaning, although Daddy did a much better job at cleaning than I did. But dinners have been warm and delicious, if I don't say so myself. I am really proud of Olivia's Saturday night dinner: homemade turkey sausage, mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli...that looked like a little snail in the grass!!
It was really cute and even she thought so, but eating it was another story. She ended up eating most of the mashed potatoes, and some of the broccoli of which Rascal got some too and about half the sausage. Although it wasn't easy and we did have to bribe a little bit for teddy bear cookies afterwards.

ohmigod...I am in awe re: dinner creation. It looks fantastic! Maybe I've just been stuck with picky eaters too long, but I seriously heart the meal pics for kids. I get some good ideas sometimes. But, as you know, getting them to eat all the creations is another story.

Jordan and Mina love the Sesame street site too. Computer geeks in the making!

Looks like everyone is doing quite well at your place. It was so cold that week! I'm glad it's a little nicer now. Maybe we'll get another Chinook soon and we could take the kids somewhere fun outdoors. Next time you go to the zoo let me know and maybe we could come with you. Hope to see you soon (we've been saying that for over a year now!)
CALL ME!!!

P.S. Olivia is so darn cute. She's really growing up. Better get her and Dominic together soon before they find someone else! lol
