Happy 6th, Josie!

Here are some pictures from Josie's birthday party at the bounce house.

Here's Harriet on the ride home:

Meet Gigi!

Gigi joined our family this past weekend. Did we mention she's new?

 However you spell her name, she's kind of cute. Here she is peering through a hole in Harriet's chair.:

And here she is hanging out on a chair, on Harriet, on Josie and on both of them and friend:

Gigi!

 

Signed with an "H"

This is Harriet's first figurative drawing - of a cat. Up until now all her work was strictly abstract.

Frozen February

February was extremely cold this year. Josie and Harriet had to come up with some inside activities. Here, they opened up an art gallery called "Forever Art":

 We went to see "Frozen" and all memorized this song, some of us against our will:

We played a lot of indoor soccer in the basement: 

Josie had her winter break from kindergarten. We probably should have taken a trip somewhere warm, but instead we just made do with visiting the botanical garden, running around the track at the Y, and hanging out at the library.

 Some more February scenes:

Stir Crazy

Here are some indoor photos from the Great Freeze of '14. Since the temperature dropped to about 10 below, Josie and Harriet had to find some inclement weather activities.

Having a  beach day:

Making "birthday crowns" and then hugging/wrestling: 

Another game of "Hungry Hungry Hippos" ends in tears:

 

I think this was some kind of wedding ceremony? 

Playing with the camera: 

Great Snowstorm of '14
