chicken legs


It's getting pretty chilly here and nothing will fit these skinny little legs. The smallest socks fall down her ankles, and even though these tights fit nicely around her waist, her legs are swimming in them!

Check out her little beauty mark on her left arm.
She is my little doll. I can dress her up super funky, and I L O V E it!

keeping my two year old happy...

has been quite a challenge lately.
Yesterday, he probably threw ten temper tantrums. He is definitely testing my patience every day. Since it is too cold to play outside, and I can't exactly take him anywhere (for a good amount of time) I am trying to come up with inventive ways to keep Jonah occupied and happy. Yesterday for example, Jonah helped me make cookies. No, this was not the morning, he just wore his pj's all day. And do I care that my son wears his pajamas ALL day? NO. I'm just grateful he is wearing clothes. Zach's mom sent us a package, and in it was a bag of hershey kisses. Perfect for Peanut butter cookies, and perfect for Jonah to help me out.


To my surprise, Jonah followed directions very well. He didn't eat a single chocolate or cookie the whole time. After unwrapping each Hershey kiss, he placed them in a nice line.


While I was turned around to take out the second batch, Jonah realized how delicious the cookies were.

And that's when the activity stopped, and I had to find a new one for him.
