Zoe's Birthday

My mom had a great idea for Zoe's birthday. Let's get her a kitchen. She loves to cook so it makes sense. Except for when the manufacturer misdrills the pieces and it takes 4 hours to assemble. I'm glad we made it work for the birthday surprise but what a nightmare. Many thanks to my patient husband.

We should have just put it back in the box:)

Success!

Cooking lesson to follow shortly. Stay tuned!

Antics

Being cooped up all winter makes you a bit batty. There are only so many things you can do to pass the time. Example below:

Startin' to lose it.

Snow Fun

It's been a rough winter so far but we are taking it in stride. There are lots of fun things to do in between the weekly blizzards and ice storms. Here are just a few of our extracurricular activities:

Digging the car out.

So after three storms in a month, we finally got some snowman-making snow. We built Fred and in less than 24 hours, his head was missing. Now, it didn't just fall off. The whole thing was taken. So, what do you do when someone takes your snowman's head? You build another better looking head.

I'm sad to report that Fred only survived another 48 hours before he was defiled again.

All work and no play? NO WAY!

Yes it's very cold but I like to think we're making the best of it.

Ruby Goodies

These babies grew up so fast. I can't believe it's already been 4 months since Roobs was born. I have been working hard to make myself more available to the girls and have looked into part-time work. I'm hoping my current company thinks it's a brilliant idea and I can stay home more. This is such a fleeting time, I don't want to miss it.

I have no idea what she finds so funny, but it's funny.

Zoe makes some keen observations

Stuff They Do

I knew this was going to be fun but I'm having a blast. These girls are hilarious and they know how to keep me on my toes.

Winter Fun

Well the almanacs sure weren't kidding when they predicted a snowy winter in the Northeast. We have gotten crazy amounts of snow in NYC. It has made it really difficult to get out of the house. We are hoping for an early spring so we can get outside and play.

Zoe absolutely loves snow.

Ruby is not amused

We had our neighbor's help building our snowman, Fred
Thanks Jehan!

The finished product

OK so there is someone in the neighborhood that thinks it's funny to steal the head of a snowman. We can only hope that his head was used for good and not evil. Anyway, we rebuilt our friend Fred and he is sexy. Although he survived another head theft, someone stole his cool hat. Whadda ya do?

Lookin' good Fred!
