Fun in the Snow

The girls were outside playing in the snow today. I didn't realize they were working on snowmen until I looked out the window. Daddy knew, of course. I was really impressed that they had gotten so far on their own, though I did have to help Tabitha finish hers off as she was struggling with the head not wanting to attach. So mommy actually played in the snow for a while today. Fortunately it wasn't that cold.

I just had to share the pictures even though I already did our Wordless Wednesday this week.

Happy Birthday Flower

Tabitha has a special friend named Flower and she woke up yesterday telling us it was Flower's birthday. We were supposed to have pancakes for breakfast, Tabitha insisted. But mommy just doesn't have the time to fix pancakes for breakfast. They are usually the main course for Breakfast for Dinner Thursdays.  Tabitha was quite upset because we weren't allowing Flower to have her pancakes for her special Birthday Breakfast. We calmed her down by telling her we would have them for dinner (we hadn't had Breakfast for Dinner on Thursday this week because I had a dentist appointment).  Then there was a change of plans. Daddy and Tabitha made a cake while I was at an appointment. Daddy wanted to try adding chocolate chips and marshmallows to the batter. Yum, yum. When I got home I frosted it with Cool Whip.

The writing was done with Hershey's syrup.

Turns out Flower's birthday was to be a grand affair.  They made cards and gathered gifts.
