snow one day ... shorts the next

The girls and I have really enjoyed having the weather in the 70's the past few days! They are absolutely like me! They love to watch the snow from an inside warm place while sipping hot chocolate and would rather bask in the warm sun any day of the week! The snow was coming down during their nap and when they got up it had already started to accumulate on the ground. I held them up to the window and said "snow" and from that moment on they were obsessed with the "no" (they aren't too good with s'es) unless they had to touch it! However, ever since it has been warm we have been spending most of the days on walks, at one park or another or just hanging out in the yard. Here are some pics from this past week or so.

Meredith ... tantrum ... she is pretty good at these. They have added another technique to the tantrum ... a bear down and SCREAM in the middle of a crying jag ... hmmm ... wonder if they learned that from me?

Meredith ... making the elephant noise ... the noise is cute as it is but she throws that head back as if she has a trunk, too! It is better sans "bee bee" but beggars can't be choosers!
Hannah ... concentration face ... she was getting one block out of the bag, walking across the room, putting it on her stack and then going to get another ... whew ... a little inefficient but at least it kept her occupied for a while!

Apparently, Hannah thought her baby could use some juice.

So, the girls crafted this little slide all by themselves. They tipped the chair and put the bin there so they could climb it ... I just added the soft landing pad ... but they did this over and over and over ... again, picure a flip show ... First Hannah takes the lead ...

lands with a little plop ...

now it is Meredith's turn ...

weeeeee ... there she goes ...

ha ha ... I landed on my feet! It really went on like this for a good 15 minutes ... which is a long time in toddler-ville!

Once the girls figured out that snow is wet and cold ... this was the general consensus ...

They tolerated a short wagon ride to check out the snowmen ...

The most fun they had with it was picking up handfuls of snow and throwing them in the street and making me nervous b/c out of the whole yard, they have to be right at the street (of course!) At least their Grandmama was there to grab one while I grabbed the other in case of cars!
