Sugar n' Spice and Snowmen. How nice!

I'm SO reconnecting with being in the kitchen since having moved here.

There's something heart-warming about being in there, amidst the falling snow and my two year-old running in and out that reminds me of, oh... Wymount Terrace or something.

I feel like that mom again, and kind of just love it.


I spent Wednesday morning baking with Abby. She was the cookie cutter specialist, I was over flour distribution.

Later on, everyone joined in and we had a great time decorating them for friends, pack meetings, school parties, and so on...

No promises on how many germs were or were not passed along in the process.

Everyday after school here is like a Winter Wonderland Paradise for my children. Since having acquired snow pants and appropriate footwear, it's even better.

Regardless of the single digit temperature, they're out there entertaining themselves daily with the powdered bliss. Clearly, they're adjusting well.

I, on the other hand am still trying to strike a balance (while driving in it) between sliding all over and freaking out, and sliding all over, and thinking it's kind of fun ;-)
