Giggles

Day 296 - This was in my Dad's 'British basket' he received for his birthday last weekend.  It makes me laugh...I know, I'm so mature.  

Invasion

Day 241 - Kitty has claimed our snow fort as his own personal sun tanning location!

Snow fort!

Day 238 - Today the kids and I made a snow fort!  I cleared away a rectangular section of snow, created 'walls' and then plunked the foam play mats down as flooring so that we could sit and play without getting our butts cold.  It was lots of fun!

My baby girl

 
Day 224 - My little model.  We did Baby Penguin's hair in a side ponytail today...she's a cutie!

Daddy's Hat

 

Day 221 - Baby Penguin continues her week of hats.  Today she found Daddy's hat and is proudly showing it off.

Continuing the cuteness

 

Day 220 - Again, one must wear a hat indoors whenever possible.  The end.

Beauty

 

Day 219 - Monkey makes me smile.  For all the times she's wild and crazy, there are moments of pure quiet that make my heart melt.  We were sitting on the couch talking about her day, I needed to capture the moment.  <3

Rules of cuteness

 

Day 218 - A major rule of cuteness: one must wear a hat indoor whenever possible.  The end.

S'up?

 

Day 213 - Baby Penguin with attitude.  We were having fun in the daycare area and I guess I was taking too many pictures...oops!

Genius!

 

Day 209 - Today, my little 18 month old Baby Penguin picked up a lion animal and walked over and put it on the "L" circle on the zoo mat without any prompting from me.  I may have a budding genius on my hands!

Play dough

 

Day 204 - I made homemade play dough today and it smells fantastic.  I added Jello to the mix to get the colours.  So I have grape, lime, lemon and cherry 'flavours'.  It turned out great actually!  I can't wait for the kids to try it out next week.

Pretzels

 

Day 199 - I found some recipes from cooking class in JUNIOR HIGH.  Man, I am getting old.  BUT!  These pretzels were awesome, so I decided to make them again.  I gave up on the traditional pretzel shape and went for this awkward looking - yet still wonderfully yummy - stick shape.  And then I ate 3!!  This is pre-baked...I'm afraid the baked ones didn't last long enough to get their photo taken.  ;)

Attitude

 

Day 196 - Baby playing at my parent's house.  This one has attitude to spare!

Almost done!

Day 193 - Renovations are almost complete!  So much hard work today.  My parents were over and helped out ALL day.  But the place looks great and my girls absolutely LOVE it. 

Oops

 

Day 187 - Someone was playing with my phone...good thing she's cute!!

Merry Grinchmas!

 

Day 181 - No words are needed.  hehe!!

Secret Santa

 Day 179 - I joined an online forum gift exchange this year.  People from all over the world are exchanging gifts with others they have never met.  Today, I got my Secret Santa gift!  I love it...I wonder why!

Family

 

Day 178 - We had family over to celebrate Mr. Penguin's 30th birthday!  Two buffet meals in one day...I am so full!!

Irony.

 

Day 175 - On my way to pick up a rental car for the week, I passed this sign: "Change your oil, keep your engine" Ironically, Suzuki was testing to see if a lack of oil was the cause of my engine issues.  It was not, and I AM covered under the warranty!!  Bunny is getting a new engine free of charge! *happy dance*

Staff Party

Day 170 - So this evening was interesting...I had my company Xmas party.  We went to a local restaurant, got dressed up and had the LONGEST. MEAL. EVER.  Seriously.  We were all there by 7:30pm and we left the place at 10:45pm.  And not by choice!  Service was SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.

Oh yeah, and then my car caught on fire on the way to the after party at my boss' place.  Man, do I know how to have a good time!
