Car Wash Fun

This past week my dad had to come up for a meeting in the Dallas area so he spent one day and evening with us before heading out.  I had intentions of washing my car myself but we were out eating lunch and came up on a pull-in wash your car place so my dad said stop here and I will wash your car.  Molly and I sat in the car while he washed it and she loved it.  I will need to remember this if I ever need some quick and fun entertainment for her.

Pretty Snow

 

On a not so pretty note.  I guess this little guy wanted out of the cold too.  Some how he made his way in to Molly's bathroom.  Luckily he was dead when I found him but I am still curious as to how it got in!

Ice Days

Don't let those first two pictures fool you.  It is not snow it is solid ice in our drive way.  We could not get the car out.  Early Tuesday morning an ice storm came through meaning we were stuck at home.  That was the case for most people since schools and business were closed.  As a matter of fact the schools are still closed tomorrow.  They say there is a chance of snow late tonight into tomorrow morning.  I guess we will just have to wait and see what we wake up to.  When you are stuck at home for a couple of days you try to do things that you don't normally do to make things more fun since you can't get out.  We had mickey mouse pancakes, stayed in our pj's, raced through tunnels, watched some movies, and we did venture out a few times to eat dinner at Nani's and to let Molly have a change of scenery to play.

P.S. I am excited too because even though I don't teach any more I still teach for PlayWisely on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays soooo I have had off Tuesday and I will get off Friday.  I am kind of glad about Friday because I have to drive into Dallas on Fridays.  It will be nice to be at home and warm.

Enjoying the nice Weather

We decided to take advantage of the nice weather on Saturday and go out on the boat.  We had a fun little picnic and Molly did some "fishing."  However shortly after that the wind really picked up and the wind blowing off the lake was cold.  Molly was getting miserable and ended up laying under a towel so we quickly headed back in and by the time we got back Molly had fallen asleep under the towel.  It was a fun and quick trip on the boat.  I am sure it will be awhile before we get to get back out on it.

Laundry Time Helper

I am sure at some point it is nice when your child helps with the chores.  For now I guess I will be happy with whatever help I can get.  If help is what you want to call it when Molly folds laundry.  She usually just grabs what ever regardless if it is folder or not and starts putting it all into her own big pile.  I guess if she sees mommy making piles then she thinks that's what you do.  However for some reason today after she so kindly piled the clothes up she started piling all the towels on Tilly.  The crazy thing is Tilly did not even move.  Tilly must have been very tired or really cold and enjoying the extra layers.

10 Week Progress... And A Few Cravings

Well everything is coming right along.  I went to the doctor this week and am 10 weeks and feeling so much better.  Sorry no pics not much to really see.  I never really had any cravings when I was pregnant with Molly and I am not sure if this post qualifies as a craving or just a good buy :).  I had intentions of buying some popsicles because that sounded good and when I was standing in the isle looking at all the options the Blue Bell Mini Sandwiches just shouted out buy me!!  I feel that since they are mini's that it was okay.  Besides I only have one a day and sometimes not even that. 

Girlie Girl

For a few minutes tonight my little Molly wanted to be a girlie girl.  She would prefer to have no clothes on, be outside, throwing or catching balls, jumping off and on things (but her trampoline), just running around, and absolutely never a bow or clip in her hair.  However tonight she walked up to me and said she wanted to put on her butterfly dress.  I had no idea what she was talking about so we walked into her closet and she pointed to her Easter dress from last year and said "see Mommy my butterfly dress."  I put it on her thinking could it be, can she still fit in this, but once I tried to zip it was a little too snug to zip all the way.  Then what she said next I could not believe.  She said she wanted a bow.  I said "what!"  She told me she wanted the brown bow so I grabbed it without hesitation and put it in her hair which she did not even try to pull out.  After that she said "don't I look pretty."  She ran around playing for maybe 15 minutes in her dress and bow then as quickly as she wanted it on it all came off.  This was of course picture worthy :)
