Our snowman made using the dried sunflower heads.
Hugging their "friend." We have to read "Snowmen at Night"
almost every evening now. Along with "Chicka Chicka Boom
Boom" which gets read at least twice a day. Cassie and I
have both memorized all the words and can say them in the
car on the way to pick up Takumi from preschool.
Don't Spill the Beans is a new favorite game.
Both Takumi and Cassie have trouble with the concept that
the winner has no beans.
They want to accumulate as many beans as possible.
We got this giant Bob the Builder (or Bobby as Cassie and
Takumi like to call him - being close friends as they are)
at a yard sale.
He's missing a piece, but it's a great puzzle because it's
easy to describe the jigsaw puzzle ends. i.e. circle,
diamond, triangle, bone
The kids love taking their sleds out on the farm road when
we walk the dogs.
They pull them out and then get to come home as a
"train."
Another favorite book is the classic "The Snowy Day." Takumi
loves to make angels now after reading that.
Takumi worries about the safety of his snowplow with Pearl
on the loose.
A chance to dash off the safety of his chair and grab the
truck.
Uh-oh. Pearl is eying the snowplow again.
And now she wants the feathersword. (Captain Feathersword
the tickling pirate being a favorite character from the
Wiggles.)
Cassie teaches her some tricks.
Takumi has fun with the finger puppets.
And he LOVES the vibrating pillow.
Oh no!! Another dog attack.
They try out the new domino game before we discover that
it's much too big to fit on a table. Isn't our new sunroom
great!!
Takumi gets into the music.
And then Cassie decides to join in.
We put the kids to work carrying dog biscuits from the
barn.
We test out the reflective tape on Cassie's snowsuit.
And we make the kids shovel the walk.
And wipe off the cars.
Here the kids model my double-sided scarves.
And the hats that my beginning knitting class will make.
Another walk with the dogs.
