All iced in and no where to go

Even though I didn't make it to pilates and Hanna's hair appt. was cancelled the day wasn't completeley lost. I got a few things done that I'd been putting off, like clipping Haley's fingernails. It is a job for 5 people and I dread it more than going to my woman doctor. I pulled the grates off my stove top and gave them a good scrub down. That's a job that always gets pushed to the back burner. ;-)

I organized all my recipe clippings in a new album, whew!! That will make my life sooooo much easier. The rest of the day was spent playing and having fun with the girls. It was nice to have Jason around today even though he stayed up in the playroom on his laptop working most of the time. His flight out to Minnesota got cancelled this afternooon but he will try it again tomorrow. Our electricity has been trying to go off all day but luckily we still have power (touching wood). So, here are a few pics of what we did today all couped up.


Hanna's favorite place to watch tv is in our bed. She "bee-yaxed" (relaxed) for a bit this morning while Haley had nap #1.

I couldn't slight my stove top by excluding it in the photo line-up.

Even though there wasn't snow to make a snow man we still made some......out of cotton balls. Hanna named them Mimi and Papa.

I put Hanna to work making a bracelet while I made lunch. We're going to throw her out on the corner soon as it warms up. She's sure to rake in a few bucks.

We made a ham and cheese quesadilla person for lunch. She was very tasty.


Haley was up to her same silly antics; pulling things out of drawers, ripping napkins into a million shreds (I don't know how she finds them), and apparently undressing herself.

I made Jason his own version of a cheese quesadilla person and took it to him upstairs. When I returned, I found Haley half undressed.

After lunch Hanna and I made some special ice cream cone shaped cupcakes while Haley was down for nap #2. Hanna seems to have outgrown napping these days. Some days I insist on it, other days I relish our time together w/o little bit.

We painted our toe nails while the cupcakes were in the oven.

Voila! A cupcake impersonating an icecream cone. Yum scrum!

We decorated them with Valentine's sprinkles. Was saving them for special Valentine's treats but no better time like the present to break out some sprinkles!

In a nutshell, that was our day. Not sure what tomorrow will bring as I'm sure we'll be shut-ins again all day. Haley is down for the night and I am enjoying a white Russian (the drink), hopefully the first of many. Hope you all had a fun-filled day stuck at home! What did you do?

Looks like you guys had a great time. I can't believe you have the patience to make food-people. I'm very impressed!
