Winter Fun


OK, trying to play catchup on the blog. I have seriously been slacking since I got pregnant. Thats a valid excuse, right?
Being cooped up inside all winter, I am constantly trying to find new ways to keep Mati busy... and keep myself awake. So, we had our first attempt at coloring, which went pretty well. She tried to eat the crayons as much as actually draw with them, but we eventually got a picture out of it.

Eating the crayons...

"Dont EAT the crayons, Mati" face...

Coloring!...

STICKERS! Mati's new passion. You cant see in these photos, but Blake and I are covered from head to toe, as well. She especially loves putting stickers on everybody's faces.


And lets not forget about cleaning. Mati really likes to "help" me with chores these days. Although, I am not sure she is helping, as much as extending the time it takes to complete the task. I love having a little helper around the house, though. It definitely makes cleaning alot more fun.


We moved AGAIN this winter. We had to be out of our old place before Jan 1, so packed everything up just before Christmas. The house we tried to buy was a foreclosure, and it was going to take longer than we were willing to wait. We were basically living there for free for 6 months, but the bank was never able to promise us a closing date, so we left. It was a beautiful old home, and we were sorry to let it go, but too much work and too long of a wait, especially considering we are adding another member to our family soon. Unfortunately, I dont have any photos of the new place yet, but hopefully they will be coming soon.
