It's beginning to feel a lot like...February

I know it is usually a joke when people say they're going to talk about the weather, but let's chat about the weather, shall we? We made Aili and Jeff made a snowman. I scrambled around gathering the necessities, like buttons, carrots, and such for decorations, and then they made Mr. Frosty. I gave Jeff some water based paints and brushes to play with, and he looked at me like I was crazy. But really, I recommend it. Washable paint + lots of snow= a huuuugee canvas for a creative kid to work on and then when the snow melts, it just goes away! Perfection. My momma tip of the week.

Isn’t he just handsome? She’s pretty cute too! And yes, they did decide to use my cashmere scarf for the snowman. Because you know, we didn’t have enough poly-blend lying around or something (insert cough).And do you remember fall? Not sure what yours was like, but here in Stanwood, we had a flood! Here’s a little thing about me: I love natural “disasters,” or weather-related anomalies, provided no one is hurt. So of course when Stanwood flooded, we had to go and check it out. I was so disappointed that I forgot a memory card for my camera, so unfortunately I just have these two pictures:That's right, there is not supposed to be any water there. Don't you just want to canoe through it? There was a nice little current going!
