Cabin Fever (aka Ants in her Pants)

The winter is starting to feel long here. We at least had one nice sunny warm day here yesterday and I think the whole town of Grandview was out at the playground. But, that was short-lived as we went back to cold and flurries today.

A couple of weeks ago, when we were really in the midst of "stay inside" weather, Molly really started getting a little goofy. She even made up a new song called "Jump the holiday cheese". Fortunately, Lauren was able to get a few bits of the episode on video.

Here's clip one:




And another:




And one more...



We're all looking forward to Spring.

Wintery winter

It's been a real winter here in Columbus with VERY cold days and plenty of snow. Molly's been busy getting used to winter time fun by building snowmen, eating the carrots that were supposed to be the snowman's nose, making snow angels, catching snowflakes on her tongue, rolling down hills, sledding, shoveling snow, jumping in snow piles, eating (white) snow, knocking icicles down, and - Molly's personal favorite - coming back inside for hot chocolate with marshmallows.

We have a few pictures from the season and a video of sledding and "shoveling". The last couple of minutes are from the latest storm. Molly's playground has been iced over for a while and since it's been so cold, she hasn't spent much time outside, so I think she was happy to be able to get out and goof around in the snow - she had a lot of energy that morning.
















And here's the video
