A Whole Lot a Nothin'...But a Little of Somethin'

That's what we have been up to lately...a whole lot a nothin' but of course, a little of somethin'. And let me tell you, it has been soo nice. We have slowed down a bit since the holidays, we have been enjoying some cold mornings playing hooky and not rushing anywhere or to do anything. 

Ford is in the only one that really enjoys the new car we got for Christmas. Olivia won't have anything to do with it so it is stationary and Ford has fun pretending to drive while Olivia gets in and out of it a thousand times pretending to go to the grocery and such.

This is what this little guy likes to do while consuming his meals...don't worry he doesn't miss a bite!:)

Where is Fooorrrdddd???

On cold, rainy mornings we play hooky instead of going to bible study like we are supposed to be doing. Instead we play grocery store in Christmas jammies/naked in Ford's crib...why not???

We have also been trying new foods....like Oreo's. When you are the second child you get fed whenever, whatever and however. He liked them to say the least...

Yes, he is almost 11 months old and still not moving!!! Our backs are going to give in before he does I just know it. Look at him...he wants to so bad he just cannot figure it out. Poor guy (and poor mommy and daddy, too).

We will be celebrating a certain little girl this weekend and of course, her love for Snow White (and her seven little men). Can't wait!

Ford has been dealing with an awful viral rash...I mean awful. 

"Sissy, whatcha doin' over there and how are you gettin' those 2 things attached to you to move like that????"

After it snows one week in Mississippi the next week it is for sure warm enough to hang out at the park. That's just how Mississippi weather works so we took advantage and visited our favorite spot!

That's all that we've been up to....a whole lot a nothin' but always a little of somethin'........

It's Frosty!!!

It snowed!!!

When they were talking about us likely getting some snow last week I never mentioned it to Olivia because I just wasn't sure if it was going to actually happen. Of course, it ended up snowing around 3 inches on the day Olivia actually slept in 8 am (that NEVER happens). We didn't bother to wake her and it was a good thing because she had no interest in playing in it.

It was Hays' morning to get up with the earliest chirping birdie (Ford) and he was chomping at the bit to come wake me and Olivia up to play. After FINALLY waking and eating breakfast we got her all geared up to go outside and she would NOT budge. Hays went out and built a snowman by himself while the three of us watched from the warm and cozy window. We had to beg her to go out and take one picture. It was very surprising to me that she would not be interested especially in Frosty because she LOVES that story. She likes it so much that the book stays down year round and we will continue to read it way after the holiday season.

Silly girl. You can see her checking out Frosty out of the corner of her eyes. She just wasn't too sure about the whole situation.

It was beautiful! Isn't God good??!!

Ford didn't seem to mind the cold, snow or Frosty, really...

She did help dress him though. She was so excited to dig through the pantry looking for his eyes, nose and mouth. We had to be creative...hence the chocolate cheerio eyes, carrot nose, cheese puff mouth and Hershey kiss buttons.

The sun came out and Frosty didn't last long.

It was a sad day when Frosty disappeared.

Maybe next time it snows Olivia will be a little more sure about it and Ford will be mobile and able to play in it. Let's hope it's not forever before it happens again...
