SNOW WEEK!
I've spent the past week cooped up, cuddling, playing, and thinking about what makes these cuties tick. Here is our week in photos.
Getting bundled up to go outside was not Olive's favorite part of the day. Georgia thought she was overreacting though.
Last year's snow day compared to this year. They enjoyed the snow much less this year.
Mommy and Georgia
Daddy and Olive
They much preferred reading in a cozy fort.
They watched Beauty and The Beast and A Bug's Life with all their friends.
We had some fun with this little contraption until they realized they could just rip it off the wall.
Daddy makes the best breakfast!
So I decided to clean out the toy closet, not because it was messy (although you can see it was). I've been watching Super Nanny and trying to figure out how to cool down the heated 4:00PM-bedtime meltdowns. I decided organizing the toys and the day might help.
Now the toys are organized in particular drawers in the closet, and the day is scheduled to eliminate boredom. The Free Play parts of the day are for the toys that are out all the time (animals, baby dolls, books, and kitchen). The Choose a Drawer times are to break up the entire day that they spend in the house. They have caught on and today even chose their own drawer. The past few days, the evening tantrums have been almost eliminated (minus when we tried to go out to eat!). This schedule also helps Mommy and Daddy realize how much of the day they have spent lying on the couch, and stop counting down to bedtime, but just to the next time period of the day.
Jamming out to some Pat Benatar. They even cleaned up when music time was over.
I thought they were past climbing on the table, but it has started again. :/
The girls love to color, especially topless. And I must point out that flexibility.
Olive loves to be cozy!
Georgia and her crazy bedhead!
We hope that you had a great snow week too. Now it's back to work.
