I sit down and sigh

After several days of snow and cold we are finally able to get out of the house and back to normal activities. This morning it was back to school for Jennifer, she didn't go at all last week. She missed school, therapy, church on Wednesday night, everything she loves to go do was canceled because of the weather. Because the world stopped for the weather we were stuck inside for several days in a row. Keeping a three-year-old busy is hard work, especially when she is use to doing so much. So I have to admit after I came home from dropping Jennifer off I just kind of let out a sigh. A few moments of peace, to myself. The moment didn't last long and then I was picking up the house, vacuuming, I even got a few groceries by myself, which doesn't happen often.
Over the course of the cold days Jennifer has been very much longing for warmer days. Even before Christmas she would get her swimming suit out of the closet and put it on over her clothes or jammies. So for fun a few mornings I let her take a bath in her suit, of course that was enough to make her happy for while!

This is the day it all started. Jennifer looking very stylish in one of her swimming suite and pj's in front of the Christmas tree.
Swimming in the bathtub! Who knew it could be so much fun to wear your swimming suit during a bath! In just a few days we actually get to go swimming at a hotel, it will so much better than the tub.

We made some cookies one night to pass a little time. If you look closely you can see that Jennifer has a tank top on over her sweatshirt. As you can see pretty much any summer clothing will do for this child right now.Bill and Jennifer in the basement "working". It is a little cold in our basement so they had to bundle up before going down, that is way they both hats on. Who needs blocks when wood will do? Jennifer worked very hard for a long time to get these pieces of wood just right. It was very funny. Bill joked that these are the white trash version of legos! She was very proud of her work (and I'm pretty sure that Bill hasn't moved one piece of wood since she did this)!
