This one is a character.

I will let the pictures do the talking.

This definitely describes her and all toddlers quite well. 

Sometimes she even goes quiet. 

Super Bowl Monday

Super Bowl Monday was a snow day for us. As was Super Bowl Monday last year. What a crazy coincidence. Katherine, Cora and I enjoyed some outside time - sledding in our backyard, attempting to build a snow person, made some snow castles, snow angels, and Cora was able to enjoy what she loves most of all - eating the snow. She knows to only eat white snow.

Katherine is a great big sister - playing with Cora in the snow. 

C doesn't look comfortable but she is. 

Art Work

Katherine's class had a recent art project on display at school. 

Monkey turned 7!

Back in February - our Monkey turned 7. Not sure how that happened but it did.

We started the day with cinnamon rolls, traveled to Noodles for lunch as well as Ben and Jerry's ice cream, stopped in at Barnes and Noble (a favorite of ours but not close by), found a place to jump around near Hartford, and then came home for pancakes, applesauce cake and presents. She enjoyed her day a lot! Plus, she had no school on her birthday and Daddy came home at lunch time to enjoy the afternoon fun with us and he makes the best pancakes. :-) Happy Birthday Katherine! We love you lots.

Leap Day. An extra day of fun!

Cora and I decided to take advantage of the 51 degrees already by 9/10am on this past Leap Day and head to the Mystic Aquarium. Cora loves to see the beluga whales, the sea lions, the penguins, the jellyfish, and the seals just to name to most popular. We had a great morning for this adventure. Juno, one of the beluga whales was very entertaining. Two of the sea lions were playing around and even the penguins were swimming! We saw the sea lion show which Cora actually listened and sat through. Luckily they kept it short.

After our aquarium fun we went to Mystic Pizza for lunch. Cora will tell you I had pizza and she drank milk. Since Drawbridge ice cream was just a short walk away - we decided to end the day with ice cream. Cora proceeded to finish the entire small bowl of chocolate soft serve (it sure doesn't taste like WI soft serve but she enjoyed it). Luckily for me there are lots of hard ice cream flavors at Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream - one of our favorite ice cream spots.
