Baby, it's Cold Outside

As most of you are likely experiencing, winter seems to have arrived in the Midwest. We got some real snowflakes and cold temps over the weekend. Jack also came down with a bug, so fortunately we had little planned and could hunker down and stay warm at home. Today Ella and I attended her first "school friend" birthday party. It involved painting, pizza, and cake, so naturally she had a blast. Have a good week, and stay warm!

All ready for school.

Ella has been dressing herself lately.

And doing her own hair.

This man loves his oatmeal - the steel cut grown-up kind!

Playing with random treasures found in a cupboard.

They were building a bed on the steps. Not so smart, but apparently lots of fun.

Watching it snow.

Helping Dad fix the dishwasher.

Art projects (Jack wanted to wear this shirt over his jammies).

"Cheese!"

Watching more snow and cars.
