COSI Fun

We took a day trip to Columbus to see friends and visit COSI.  We loved it there especially the Kid Space on the second floor.

Informal dance recital at the REC center

Annabelle sharing about playing in the snow and making snow pumpkins to her teacher.

dancing along.  During the dance recital, the children showed the audience their favorite "Ballet move".  Everyone in her class did some kind of move that the teacher can label a ballet move.  When it was Annabelle's turn, she jumped up and down and yelled, "boo"  Annabelle was so proud of herself.  Then the teacher quickly instructed Annabelle to do the first position in ballet to cover it up. 

Annabelle running this time and the next time she will be hopefully showing how she runs like a ballerina.

More Feb fun

For Valentine's Day the girls got balloons and a stuff animal.  Annabelle got a kitten and Claire got a dog of course!

Having fun in the laundry basket

Annabelle likes to get adult books out of the library.  One day she asked for her book with the "little letters"  It took me a while to figure out she means these books.  She likes to make a story to read to us.

One evening, Claire decided it would be funny to put her pants on and then at least 3 pairs of underwear.  She laugh and laugh as she came out to show us.

She proceeded to put "sock hands" on

Claire accessorizing.  Little does she know she is a few decades out of style! 

The girls made a birthday table with rocks and paper towel holders

Snow Play in Feb

Annabelle can play in the snow for hours!  Claire still needs help walking in the deep snow we had this year.  The girls sitting in their pretend house by the road. 

Claire is pretending to be "Little Jake" in which you must use that name in order for her to comply to your requests

Playing with Daddy in the snow is so much fun!
