Sugar Cookies

Our friends from Bozeman visited this weekend, and together we made a batch of sugar cookies, heavy on the sprinkles.

White Stuff

We got a little snowstorm last weekend, so I bundled up Lucy in her new snowsuit and took her outside. She's still not convinced that playing outside in the snow is fun (she did like the swinging because she didn't have to touch the snow) but then wanted to go right back inside. I think she needs her cousins back in Wisconsin to show her how it's done!

Storytime!

Baby Dolls

Lucia loves her babies!

The Sickness

What a week! John and Lucy both got H1N1! John had it pretty bad, and was out of work for a week. Lucy had a very mild case, probably because she got the vaccination on October 16th, so she had some immunity. I did not get it at all (knock on wood). Not really sure why...it's possible that I had it in the beginning of September (I was really sick, but thought it was just a cold), or maybe my turn is yet to come. Regardless, I'm happy that John and Lucy are both feeling better and ready to enjoy the nice fall weather and go back to school and daycare tomorrow.

I NEED Candy!

Happy Halloween! Our little bunny rabbit was out trick-or-treating already this morning. There was a kids' party at the College with a magician and crafty activities, and then they went trick-or-treating in the dorms. Much to everyone's amusement, Lucy refused to say "Trick-or-Treat!", and instead shouted, "I NEED Candy!" at everyone's door. It was about 60 degrees today, so it was a little bit warm with the full fleece outfit and bunny-ears hat, but she should be nice and warm for tonight.

Finger Painting

Lately Lucia has been enjoying play-doh and coloring a lot, so we decided to try out finger painting. I should have known better! I may have mentioned this before, but Lucy hates to get dirty. She won't go barefoot outside, she doesn't like to play in dirt, and she has been using a fork and spoon for months because she doesn't like to eat with her fingers. The finger painting started out okay, and then quickly took a turn for the worst once she realized how messy her hands were getting. It'll probably be a while before we pull out these paints again.
