Snow Woman!

We went to bed with a slight chance of light snow and woke up with several beautiful inches. Sabrina insisted on making a snow angel and a snow woman right away. Her eyes are prunes and her mouth is red dates (jujubes). Later in the day when she started melting and her head looked like a skull, the eyes and mouth looked super creepy. I went and took them out so that our neighbors wouldn't think we were into voodoo or something.

Yeah, we didn't think that we would have snow often enough to get Clark his own boots so he inherited his sister's sweet pink snow boots.  At least we didn't shame him by having him wear her pink snow pants too.

 Sabrina kept insisting that her snow woman be more clearly a woman. I thought she was plenty curvy and with the flower in her hair it was clear enough, but Sabrina wanted more. So I put arms on her and gave her a broom. Then I thought better and got rid of the broom. One of the arms broke off during a snowball fight so Sabrina broke her other arm off.

Sabrina Says the Darndest Things

"I'm a Pot-head!"

 When we tried explaining that the pot wasn't her head, but just a pot hat, she insisted that she had removed her normal head first and made the pot her head. Obviously.

At a friend's party two days ago Sabrina walked up to me with a hammer and a screwdriver. She turned the screwdriver on my shoulder and asked "Do you feel that you're getting screwed, Daddy?" One of my buddies said, "Has he paid tuition recently?" She then used the hammer on me and of course insisted that I was getting hammered. What fun idioms we have!

Camping, Swim Meet and Snow

Ever since we got Yogurl's tent from her parents, Sabrina has been wanting to camp out. So after we got back from our trip we set the tent up in the basement and had nap time in there. Sabrina thought it was so much fun. She was so eager to help set up the tent and take it down, and she did a great job. She was still jet lagged when we did this, so she had to be shaken awake after a while, and was quite groggy afterwards.

 Sabrina had also wanted to go to a sporting event, since Yogurl signed her up for the Kid's special program with the university sports group. She had her shirt that says Cavman's Crew (which she sometimes wears to bed) and she insisted on wearing it to the swim meet we went to. She was so excited, but after about ten minutes she had had enough of watching people swim, and was ready to go home. I thought that was too bad, since we hadn't seen much diving yet, but the divers we did see were incredible. So much more exciting live than on TV. Swimming - the exact opposite.

 We turned Clark's car seat around this month and he really enjoys it. A little distracting in the rearview mirror sometimes, but we survived turning Sabrina around, so we should be okay. 

 We got some snow recently, and Sabrina had preschool canceled! My classes were not cancelled, though. I did pass on riding my bike to class that day, however.

Over the last week Clark has really taken to pushing around Sabrina's baby stroller. I had to take a picture when he put a toy baby into the stroller before pushing it around. I don't know if he did it because it was a baby, or if he just put in whatever toy was nearby, but I thought it was cute. I guess we need to get a toy truck large enough for him to push around while standing up comfortably. Or at least put some spikes on the wheels of the stroller and paint it black.
