It's Shaping Up to be a Long, Long, Winter

Here is some randomness from our life stuck indoors because of tons of snow. While Morgan was at school Pepper and I played dress up. Pepper was a ballerina princess and I was the mommy holding the babies.
This was her big dance move although it looks more like stretching.
Here is a little video of her showing off some more:


It is important for princesses to have good oral hygiene!

After nap time, we went outside to join Morgan in the snow. We got all bundled up, went outside and then realized he had gone inside our neighbors house to play. So we stayed outside for a bit and then joined them. The day before we were all outside sledding down our neighbors hill. Morgan and Pepper loved sledding. I have a feeling we will be doing that a lot more often!

Snow, snow and more snow!

Wednesday night Jack and baby Gwendolyn came to play again. Pepper was very happy Gwendolyn came this time and insisted on holding her despite the fact they are almost the same size. This little cutie was seriously the easiest baby ever! She sat and watched the others play for awhile, drank some of her bottle, then I put her in her carseat with her binky, sat her in the other room and she fell right to sleep without a sound. She then stayed that way till her dad came to get her. I have some pretty amazing sleepers but this little beauty takes the cake!

So I have now become a huge fan of the Deceptively Delicious cookbook by Jessica Seinfeld. I have only tried a few recipes but I love the concept and am excited to keep trying it. I had to borrow the cookbook and a food processor from different friends. I wanted to try it all out before I committed to buying them myself and I am totally sold!

I spent Sunday afternoon baking and steaming lots of veggies to make purees.

So now I have a nice little storage of carrots, butternut squash, spinach, chickpeas and cauliflower purees to add to many different meals. Yipee, for tricking your kids into eating healthier!

And that is just a taste of our winter lives.
