Not Again!



I'll start off with a synopsis of Sunday. The highlight of Sunday was the warm weather...it was in the 60's. We took the girls to a nearby parking lot where they like to ride their bikes. Big Squirt thought it was cool to drive through the water (melted snow) on her bike. After a few minutes of that, I realized a trip home for dry clothes was necessary, as she was not getting in the car like she was. She was literally dripping when she got done riding. She was laughing as she was changing clothes in the trunk. You see, since we don't have a mini-van, we use the trunk as a changing room when necessary!

We then went on a Sunday afternoon drive to a nearby lake. As we were meandering around (read as getting lost), we found ourselves on a road that had several other roads leading off it....all of which ran into the lake. We quickly made a U-turn and found our way out. We then consulted our map and found our way to the dam. We hiked on the slushy path and then watched the bald eagles diving for fish. The girls quickly became bored with the eagle watching, so we headed back home. It rained on our way home. We were glad it didn't rain on our hike.
We ate supper at our local coffee house and headed home for bathing and early bedtime to prepare for an early start Monday morning.

This morning I was awoken by Cool Daddy-O telling me that due to the snowfall overnight (yes, you read that right) school was delayed 2 hours. That meant no preschool for Little Squirt. We slept in for another hour and then made whole wheat pancakes for breakfast. Big Squirt wore one of her new outfits today. Little Squirt and I just hung out at home. We made spaghetti with broccoli in it for lunch. After one huge bite of broccoli, she declared she didn't like broccoli in spaghetti. Fortunately, she chewed it and swallowed. I was a bit nervous for awhile. When she was younger, she would spit stuff out if she didn't like it. Gross!

Big Squirt rang the doorbell to be silly after she got off the bus. Her face was painted to look like a cat (see picture above). Well, Little Squirt was quite sad and wanted to look that way too. After questioning Big Squirt as to the method of application, we determined a Navy Blue Eye Liner pencil was the closest thing we had to do the job. Little Squirt was pleased with her cat face and posed nicely for some pics.

Well, that's the highlights of the past 2 days. Who knows what tomorrow will bring....tune in and see!
