Winter Weekends

On the weekend mornings we bring Hannah into our bed when she wakes up, it gives us a few more minutes to wake up and we can all sit there and talk. Friday morning I brought her into my bed and she looked and me and said “So, Hannah, did you bite today?” Hannah has been biting at the day care, so much that we have been formally warned. She doesn’t bite at home so I have been talking to her on the way to daycare about how she shouldn’t bite. When I pick her up I ask her if she bit the kids and if she didn’t I give her a crazy amount of praise and a treat. We have been doing this for one week and it seems to be working. Maybe she is getting bored of the talk though….
Later that afternoon we went over to visit Grandpa, and Hannah and Karen went outside to pick that last of the vegetables. They look like country girls don’t they?


























Friday night we decided to rent a carpet cleaner and clean our carpets. We didn’t really have a choice after the puking incident Thursday night (you don’t want to know). So we moved all the furniture and cleaned the living room carpet. Saturday morning we got up and while John was finishing cleaning the carpets upstairs Hannah and I played in the kitchen. Sounds fun right? I was making fruit pizza and cutting some vegetables to take to my dads to watch the Utah game. I make the crust with a cake mix and this time I used chocolate. We got ready to go and we were driving up to my dads, Hannah from the back seat said “cake?” and I told her we would have some when we got to grandpa’s. She kept saying cake over and over again, which is not out of the ordinary for her to repeat things. I looked back and saw her with 2 fistfuls of fruit pizza crust and a mouthful too. I just started laughing, sometimes you forget how long their arms are I guess.

I love this face. She is thinking that if she doesn't look at me I won't notice that she has done anything wrong.














Sunday morning we woke up and it was snowing outside. I took Hannah downstairs and we looked out that back door and she was fascinated. She stood there and stared for about 5 minutes before running and dancing around the house yelling about the snow. She kept pointing at it and saying “snow momma, snow” It was really fun to see her excitement about it. After it stopped snowing and cleared up a little bit, we decided to go out and see it all. We bundled up and went out for a walk. Hannah kept pointing at the snow and wanting to “have it” she also loved all the pumpkins that were out on the porches.





















Sunday night I made soup for dinner, and was a little worried that Hannah wouldn’t be able to eat it. She loved it, she had two helpings and then finished it off by drinking out of her bowl.
