Adele LOVED her fort kit. And her fort has stayed up in the living room ever since Christmas Day.
Her fort is pretty awesome if I do say so myself. It has two separate rooms and a shelf for storage. Adele got a princess flashlight and a princess headlamp along with a large flashlight to go with her fort kit (flat sheet, clothespins, rope, and a polka dot bag to keep it all together). They were a real hit!
Mimi and Adele made a snowman cookie craft from pinterest. My mom is really an excellent grandma. She is always interacting with the kids, doing things that they enjoy, investing in relationship with them. My children are so blessed – and I am too!
I started reading Move Your DNA by Katy Bowman. It’s motivated me to do a lot more walking and on a variety of terrain. We took a “hike” through a nearby wooded park. Carmel had Everett in an Ergo backpack and I had Eleanor in another one. We even had lunch there in the open air. And it was lovely! The picture below is of the bottom of the roots of a tree that we assume fell over in a storm. Pretty cool!
Adele hit the jackpot this year – she got to go ice skating TWICE! Once with Daddy and once with Mimi.
Eleanor is really interested in climbing things. She loves to get up on the footboard of Adele’s high chair and also on Everett’s therapy bench.
When Mimi took Adele ice skating, they went out for burgers, fries and milkshakes! Yum!
Today after church we took Mimi to the airport. We all miss her lots =(
