Iced In

I am so sick of this Winter. Seriously why are we having a winter storm in the middle of April!! We had freezing rain for the last two days and now we are getting a ton of snow. We are all getting bad cabin fever and I wish we could just go outside without the fear of a large tree falling on us. I guess I should be thankful we still have power but the lights have been flicking all night so I'm not sure how long that will last. 

Okay I'm done throwing my tantrum. Here are some photos from our snow(ice) day. Piper painted, Dex watched a fly for a really long time, Piper made me some cookies, and we took a quick trip outside tonight after dinner. Josh and I also took some photos of the the ice.

She also drew a self portrait to go along with her interview. It's a picture of her and baby bunny riding a skate board. She also wrote her name on it. Congrats if you can figure that all out;)
She really didn't want to draw a picture of herself. She wanted to draw a picture of Blues Clues but I told her if she drew a picture of herself she could draw it in my sketch book with my special pens.

First Trip to the Park

We made our first trip of the year to the park. This strange thing happens to Piper each winter. She forgets what to do at the park. Slides scare the crap out of her, she forgets how to walk across the bridge, and she will not sit on the spinning thing. Little by little she starts to figure things out and by the end of the trip she refuses to leave. 

It felt so good to get outside and run around. I told Piper not to worry, this was only the first of many more trips to the park until fall.
