Snowin', Skiin', Fallin'

3 Little Snow People

It was a balmy 40 degrees outside so we bundled up and ushered our little cabin fever victims out the door. Jake was trying out some skis for the first time. Aidan wanted to go sledding down the 'big hill', and Corinna just wanted to be with her boys. I was ace photographer on the scene.

Hearts and Cookies

With blizzard like conditions yesterday and school closed (GASP!) I was forced to do what every other rational house-bound-with-3-hyper-kids mother would do. Bake! Jake's Valentine's Party at school is today so yesterday we baked some goodies. By "WE" I mean Aidan and I. And when I say "baked" I mean "Aidan spilling sugar and flour on the table and floor". Anyway, it was kinda cute while it lasted. I have decided to add some of my baking projects to this blog in a vain attempt to mimic real 'foodie' blogs which I frequent. They are awesome. http://www.bakerella.com/ and http://www.cakespy.com/ are just so cool and updated all the time so I'm always there.

Just a simple Martha Stewart's Ideal Sugar Cookie recipe (which really is quite delish!) and Wilton's royal icing recipe to decorate. Win-Win. Each kid is getting 2 heart shaped cookies in a little cello bag.

"More" + "Dance"

Corinna does some sign language, but not a lot. This is why we thought it was hilarious when not only did she make up a sign, but what it meant. We had recently gotten the boys the Wii game "Just Dance" and played it a few times before bed. Corinna LOVED it (as did the boys who took turns dancing circles around Spike and I) and as long as Corinna held a controller and wiggled her tushy, she was in heaven. So one night we skipped the game and went straight to bed. That's when she strung together the sign for "more" and she made up a sign for "dance" which is her just wiggling with a HUGE grin on her face. Oh the cuteness.

Aidan even got Grandpa to dance (we got half a song out of him at least). When Grandpa tired of dancing (to Blondie's Heart of Glass) Aidan consoled him by saying "Grandpa, I did better than you because I take dance classes."

Even Buster gets a kick out of dancing.
