Random pictures and funny Megan quotes!

Lately Megan has been all about PlayDoh. She know she has to be at her desk and she can only use certain tools with the PlayDoh, but she could play for hours. One day she came running into the kitchen and tells me to go she what she made. She was so proud of her creation complete with a spoon, knife, Popsicle stick and a toothpick (poky thing)

The other day Mark and Megan we driving in the car. There was a man walking a

dog and the conversation went like this.

Megan: "Look Daddy, he is walking a weimaraner like Buddy Bear"

Mark: "No sweetie, that dog is a boxer."

Megan: "Oh, like your shorts!"

After yet another trip to Lowe's we bought some Girl Scout Cookies from the troop selling them at the exits. Megan asked what they were doing so I told her the Girl Scouts sell the cookies to raise money so they can learn how to do all sorts of fun things. Megan thought for a second and said, with a glimmer in her eye "Someday when I'm bigger, I come her and sell MY cookies."

Washing her hands with "little tiny Megan soap" aka the orange water color paint tablet. Maybe painting while she painted wasn't the best idea, but that is why I put her in paint clothes!

Here is just a little sense on how fun Megan's imagination is. She always has something fun, creative to say.

I'm still here...

" Hi everyone, I am supposed to tell you that my mom promises to start posting more often. But we have been so busy playing in the sunshine and with friends that she hasn't taken any pictures of me! Can you believe it!?! Then Mommy and Daddy wanted to work on the house so 'life' just kind of took over. But I will make Mommy take pictures of me so you guys can enjoy all of the fun things we do."

Gymnastics, Tu-tus and cousins

Megan saw the tu-tu in the pile of clothes handed down from her cousins, so of course she wanted to wear it. Homework was done so Caila, Kelsey and Crystal had some time to show Megan their gymnastic skills. But first Megan had to show them her somersault.

First lesson: Splits! Megan mastered this one.

The girls were trying to teach her how to go some kick thing and Megan didn't quite get the hang of it. But she did love jumping up and down with her cousins.

Pretty ballerina or gymnast, take your pick. Shortly after this Kelsey was standing on her head and Megan tried her hardest to do the same. It was very cute to watch.

Hello! Sorry this picture was just cute so I had to put it on here, no real story, just cuteness. Can't wait for the summer when all the cousins can be together again and Megan can have her second lesson, but this time outside in the sun!

Snowman Time!!!

Well we had to wait until February to have enough snow to build snowmen, but it came and we had to build. Megan's very first snowman was very labor intensive. We had lots of snow but it was not "packing" snow. So I (the loving Mommy) piled snow, sprayed it with a water bottle and then packed on more snow. It took forever to build a snowman as tall as Megan. But since he was coated in ice, he lasted a long time and Megan liked to say "hi" to the snowman every time we saw him i.e. through the windows, leaving our house, coming home etc. She really liked him.

Or she liked that we have started a tradition, that when you play in the snow, once you go inside you get to have hot chocolate!

Our second snowman...woman...hula dancer. We got a ton of wet snow, perfect for building a snowman. Megan was excited to build another snowman. I went out early to start building the base of the snowman, Mark bundled Megan up and she came out to help me. She lasted about 10 mins then decided she played enough in the snow to drink hot chocolate. She left me, so I had fun and made a fancy snowman. This is what happens when you haven't had a pig roast in a few years (our goal is to get it started again this summer) Bad news for this snowman though, he was taller then me, but he only lasted 2 days until his head fell off. But I guess I won't complain too much, because he sacrificed himself so we could enjoy some sunshine and warm weather. The weather has been great, I just hope Spring is on it's way.
