Snow Days + Gingerbread Houses

December 12, 2016

I love a good snow day.

dec 11-0041I remember being in school & jumping for joy when after like 10 minutes of watching the list of school delays/cancellations scrolling by on the news, there it was.  Delay… or better yet- cancellation.  As it turns out, I get equally as excited as a mama who greatly enjoys lazy mornings with Nadia.  😉

Yesterday, this happened:dec 11-0083dec 11-0087dec 11-0103(Seriously, how is she not freezing… and why is the coat coming OFF?!)dec 11-0057I wrote this on my personal FB page last night, so perhaps it will explain the socks on her hands.  😉FB Screenshotdec 11-0012And then we did this:dec 11-0293dec 11-0298I sure do love a nice gingerbread house!  Meanwhile, Nadia was eating the icing when I wasn’t looking.  There’s always evidence, child.
dec 11-0329dec 11-0347dec 11-0317I love that Nadia got one of her Lego men for this… Later, she even set him up so his hand was on the doorknob.  It was just so perfect!dec 11-0349So there’s our house… Here’s the other side.dec 11-0372It’s been a good couple days.  😉

025/365 I've learned with my daughters, this has g 025/365I've learned with my daughters, this has gotta be THEIR idea.... and there's gotta be chocolate involved. 🤣Tasha has been using the potty this past week, and she's as proud of herself as I am of her. She skipped out of the bathroom the other day and met up with Dana in the kitchen. "Dada! Dada! I poop in potty!" Nadia and I gave her our biggest round of applause, Dana gave his most enthusiastic "Good job, Tashie!!!" and chocolates were passed all around.At the risk of sharing too much about my own poop-in-potty experience as a child (lol)- When I was a toddler, my bathroom had wallpaper with blue flowers on it. As I was learning (and feeling discouraged) my mom did what she always did... made up voices and characters that would entertain and encourage me.The little blue flowers would say, in their quiet airy voices, "You can do it! You can do it, Marybeth!" They'd sometimes talk amongst themselves and make me laugh, and when I did finally "do it," they'd cheer. That's how I learned to use the potty. I'd give so much just to have a square of that old blue wallpaper blooming with my friendly flowers.And as I do with nearly every other part of my own motherhood journey, I took that page from mama's book. And I admit that I got a little teary eyed as the little tangerines on my wall said their own, You can do it! You can do its to a daughter of my own. Life is funny like that.❤

You're a great sister." 😭 Yeah.)

It was totally just her love of Billie Eilish. 🤣She walked in the kitchen like this and said, "Play 'See crown'..." You heard her Alexa.🎶 Watch me make 'em bow one byyy, one byone...
