Bananasicles anyone?

School was called off as soon as Shaun arrived there, so when he got home, we went outside and tried to play. Unfortunately, Anna wouldn't even touch the snow!!
She cried when we put her down in it...


And was in a funk for a while.
Finally we went back inside. Anna's been sick with ear and sinus infections, and now, bronchiolitis. So it's not like we were outside for long!
Fritz, however, LOVED the snow. As he bounds, you can see how deep it was!

SNOW!!!

We woke up to a winter wonderland this morning!

Turkeys are thankful for...

Quick temper tantrums...



Pretty hand-me-down dresses



Dingo the doggie...



Being small enough to fit between the refrigerator and the wall...


Bananas...

And having cheeks large enough to pouch an ENTIRE banana!!


Happy Thanksgiving! We hope your holiday was as wonderful as ours. We all did the Turkey Day Race, then ate possibly the most fantastic turkey dinner ever!
Anna ate peas.

Raggedy Anna

For Halloween, Anna was Raggedy Ann (or Hannah- ITB). I saw this costume at a garage sale and couldn't pass it up!!
We went next door (Carole and OJ's) first. Anna wasn't too sure about trick-or-treating, but a taste of the chocolate changed her mind in record time!

MORE???

OK, here's the part where Anna tries to take the ENTIRE bowl, which ended up being not such a bad idea. We ran into friends wearing the "Scream" mask. I've never seen Anna so scared. Needless to say, trick-or-treating was over.

But, of course, chocolate and animal crackers always scare the bad guys away. Hopefully Anna will not recall this remedy when she decides that there are monsters in her closet.

As my dad would say, "it's never too early for the buddy indoctrination..."
Sailor hat + Hannah outfit = future DG??

Cool Snap

It's time to break out the long pants and new duds! We've got highs in the low 70's...





Here's a video of Anna eating cereal. It's kind of mundane, but look how big she opens her mouth. She can actually fit her whole hand in there!!

Trick or Treat Training

We're teaching Anna how to say "trick or treat"

'

Ha ha, we get tricked and she gets the treat!

Robin in the Rain

Anna goofing around...

cheering for the tigersbouncing on momma's legs before school
eating toothpaste
ready to go to school

All photos were taken in the mornings before school. Anna loves Raffi. His music is like the Pied Piper for toddlers- she hears it and starts MOVING!!
