Bunny Tracks in the Snow

First Snow Storm of 2015

These photos are from last week's snow storm. Most of the snow was covered with a layer of ice, so it was quite slippery out there. :-)

Emy loved finding and eating the layer of ice. We still have some in the freezer. :-)

A lot of sliding going on...

Ice Cycle!

The girls had a great time sliding down the front steps. There was just enough snow covered with ice on them to make the perfect slide. Of course, no one could walk up or down them until I worked off a path with hot water and my garden shovel followed by snow salt.

Emy looked extra cute in her snow bib. :-)

LIFE...

6/12/14: The girls and I were watching Finding Nemo last night. It was Emy's first time seeing the movie. You know how the mama fish and all the babies, but Nemo get eaten... well, Ella asks me what type of fish ate them. I reply quietly that it was a barracuda, but don't point out to Emy that they're D-E-A-D. We then both start nervously watching Emy's reaction to the scene. Then Emy bursts into a little song... "Barracuda, ya, ya, ya...". LOL! So, apparently the scene didn't emotionally scar her. :-)
6/6/14: Great! So Emy likes the taste of coffee with cream! That's just what I need from the one that asks me yesterday if frogs pee on the toilet as she's jumping around pretending to be a frog. Should have seen where that question was headed two seconds before answering "no - BUT they live outside". Too late!
