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.
