First Snow

So this past week we had our first real snow day - we had about 4 inches of snow in our yard.  Why is it that kids are always more welcoming of snow than their parents? - at least in this house.  Angela was so excited to have the snow. We had to hurry and find the snow clothes so she could play in it before we went to preschool. The thing was that we we having to leave earlier than normal because of the training that Lorena was taking - preparing for the Project Manager Professional Exam.  The teachers said that it would be the hardest exam I would ever take - and it is 4 HOURS LONG!!  So now it is just study, study, study.  I want to pass the first time.  ok... back to snow..... While we had this much in the morning, it is gone now as I am writing this... in fact, it was gone that afternoon when we got home. So luckily she played in it that morning, and luckily it hasn't come back down to the valley.

 

Shopping

Angela is an amazing shopper, which is good and bad.  Good because it is always fun to shop with her, bad because mom always gets to take her shopping.  She will walk through the isles saying, "how cute!', "this is pink," "I wear this tomorrow."  It is so funny to listen to her. What makes it even more fun is when her cousins and aunts go. Her aunts keep her loaded on sugar - Smarties- so you can only imagine what she's like later in the day. Then her cousins will find the most outlandish clothing and put it on. We laugh and laugh and laugh. And of course, Angela always likes to chime in with the "big" girls.  Yep, she's only 3, so we are looking forward to when she's 13! (can you see us laughing in a panic?)  We treasure these trips and the memories they make.  We are so glad for family close and the memories we make.

Where do Girls get it?

Where do girls get their princess poses and all things princess?  Angela loves princesses, especially the big three - Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty). She will take Belle too if it is an option.  I then have to remember that it is probably my fault - OK, a good porting is my fault with the hype of Disney. I'm not even sure where I got it from. Sometimes it is fun, other times not so fun as she throws the tempers - but we deal with that.  Her Aunt's also like to indulge her... as this cute princess shirt shows. She couldn't wait to wear it as it is now one of her favorites.  She danced around all morning in her skirt and shirt saying how beautiful she was. She is on this kick that she isn't beautiful until she is completely dresses, with shoes, hair fixed and lips (chap stick) on.



But that is not all that is fun... her daddy will play with the dollies too. check them out being all snugly in her Disney Princess Dream through. This was a great find - a love/hate relationship with Costco (rarely do I stick to the list).  This blanket is big enough to cover her twin bed - and it HAD to replace the current bedspread - just ask the resident princess.  This snugly time was after a long day of playing dress up with "slippery" shoes and all. Only promises that  she could wear it again "tomorrow" enabled the tears to go away and get ready for bed.
