Our Winter Weekend!

This weekend we had a little snow. It's that kind of snow that is nice and wet but you know will melt off quick. Great for snow ball fights or in our case making a snow man. (or girl) Blake and I got the girls all warmed up in their snow suits and sent them out to make their snow girl.Kunka wasn't much for getting wet or cold. So she just followed me around while I snow plowed the drive way.
The other two girls were busy re creating our first snow lady. She is a little smaller but still pretty cute.


Lilly wasn't ready to go in with her sisters so she and I decided to build a mini snow man.


Here is Lillybug holding her snowman. She thought it was pretty cool.
She told me she was worried it was going to be lonely and asked if we could bring it inside. I told her it would melt if he came in side. So she put him close to the front door instead.
Here he is on the chair.
Looking out at his big sister in the yard.

FOOD!!!!
Sometimes it is a challenge to get Lilly to eat veggies. Last night we had ham, yams, and cauliflower. Yummy. Well, I told Lilly that she couldn't leave until she finished her Yams and Cauliflower. So, she sat and she played in it. And asked for Ketchup and played some more.

This is what the end result was...until she ate it. She did finish it. Maybe I should puree all her food...maybe she'll eat it better. Speaking of puree...I did buy the book, "Deceptively delicious by Jessica Seinfeld". It's basically a book of recipes that help hid veggies in your kids food. I am really excited to use my Christmas Cuisinart and start pureeing veggies. I'll do anything to get Lilly to eat her veggies.


Lastly, this is Emily and Gracie this morning while I was getting Lilly ready. I came in and found them like this. So I quickly grabbed the Camera. isn't that so cute. I love it!

Hope everyone has a great rest of the day. Get Skinny Mommies: Don't forget to drink your water and Track Track Track...!

Hiding veggies works! my kids/step kids especially don't like certain veggies... I just give the veggies a spin in the food processor and add them to the recipe - - They NEVER know!!

Hey!! Long time!! Great post. I wish we got a little snow down here for James to play in but alas it is still in the 60s and 70s. Hey we are shooting up there this coming Saturday into Sunday. Flying in for a grandparents thing on Rob's side of the family. We won't have access to a car (carpooling with Rob's parents) but maybe we can get together to say hello?? Let me know!!!
