Iced In

A couple of weeks ago, we had a huge ice storm.  We literally didn't step foot out of the house for three days!  These pictures look pretty, but this was solid ice.  It was so slippery!!

 

My little elves stayed busy!  We had plenty of projects to complete.  We cooked a lot!

They helped make cappuccino and snack mix for the neighbors.

Caroline made her favorite gingerbread.

Our Baby Alive Dolls stayed nice and full.  I think the girls played with every toy they own.

A super hero came to lunch one day.  Abby and Caroline stayed in costumes or pajamas all day, every day.

 Abby and Caroline drove to Disneyland in their car.  Abby turned this sit and spin toy into her huge steering wheel.  Lucky for us, these two have quite an imagination.  They provide hours upon hours of entertainment for themselves.

Daddy stayed busy!  He was invited to at least ten tea parties a day.

 He also flew to Disneyland one day on Caroline's plane.  He was King Triton.

 He built the girls their birdhouses we got last Christmas.  That's right, last Christmas!  I was so glad we hadn't had time to do this project.  The girls spent a total of two hours painting them.

 They had to be just right!

 The fourth day, Daddy ventured out to hang them on a tree. He was directed where to put them.

It turned out to be a fun, productive few days, but we were ready to get back to our routine the next week.
