Ice Princess


A little skating rink in South Park offers free Ice skating lessons in the winter, when we heard about it, we had to rush down and enroll Mia. She is actually pretty good, and she loves it. She made me buy her pants with snow flakes and a shirt with a crown on it so she could wear them to practice. She truly is a Ice Princess, We love it

No School

Because it is the end of the term and Martin Luther King Jr. Day Mia had a four day weekend, which I was really looking forward to at first, I really miss her while she is at school. On Friday we spend the very cold day (the high was about 4) hunting bargains in Grove City at the Outlets, we found some awesome deals, and both girls were troopers.


I wanted to go into one more store and Josh and Mia were desperate to go back to the car and get lunch, so we decided I would take McKinlee and Josh would go warm up the car. So off we went our separate ways. Josh started the car and began to drive off, Mia got a little concerned and asked "what about Mommy and McKinlee?" And Josh told her that he was hungry and Mom and McKinlee could walk to the Restaurant. So off they drove, and Mia said, "it's going to be a long walk, they won't make it. and Josh said, "well...then we will pick them up after we eat." And Mia responded, "ya, and hammer the ice off of them..."lol Glad she was so concerned.




On Monday we went to the Pittsburgh aviary, no surprise Mia loved the flamingo's and children's Museum. It was Mckinlee's first trip and she loved it. Maybe we will have to move in

Big Helper

Much like her older sister McKinlee likes to help out, her favorite is to help make brownies...she really isn't much help.












Measuring ingredients




I didn't do anything
Caught "brown" handed

Let it snow, if only it weren't so cold



So yesterday was McKinlee's first time playing in the snow, she wasn't sure of it at first...maybe that is because in her winter snuggly she looks like the little brother on "A Christmas Story" She fell over and tried and tried to roll back over but she couldn't move her arms, she was gettind so frustrated...lol, it was so cute. Once we put her in the sled she changed her mind and had a blast
