in the winter, it's cold, dry, cracking-skin dry coldness. I really don't like that part. And a lot of the first days of winter I spend wishing I could just stay in bed. Honestly, it's the best place to be when it's cold, yeah?
Warm, cuddly, and with a humidifier going on the nightstand you won't dry out. So I think it would be awesome to fatten up on pumpkin pie all fall just to hibernate in bed through the snow storms. : )
Anyway, since we can't do that....
Today Levi and I went out with both the kiddos-- something we haven't done a whole lot. I think Zoey just absolutely hates her care seat. She cries about 90% of the time she's in it. Like when I took her for a walk in the stroller with the car seat and she had just had a nap and nursed, yet she screamed a good 3/4ths of the 25 minute stroll. ? I know she'll grow out of it eventually, and I'm counting on it because I love walks....sigh. Especially in the spring. : )
Anyway, we went out with Isaiah and Zoey to look at some houses in Charlotte since we're moving out of our current home come January 1.
It was pouring down rain most of the time and Zoey cried a heck of a lot, but it was a good time. We got to see inside one house and got a few numbers for some others we're interested in. It would be great to actually experience Charlotte's culture a little bit more, and by moving closer we hope to be able to do that.
I need to go to bed but...had to share an Isaiah/Zoey story. First of all, Isaiah loooooves Zoey and is so great at kissing her, loving her, offering her his food, toys, stickers, etc.
And, of course, he's two, so he's very curious. Earlier today I was doing something on the computer about 5 feet away from Zoey who was lounging in her bouncy seat when I noticed Isaiah doing something with her face. Out of the corner of my eye I saw her grimace and quickly jumped up to get closer.
Low and behold, Isaiah had just stuck a PENNY in her mouth. THANKFULLY it was just on the tip of her tongue and I grabbed it as fast as momma's grab things that are dangerous (very fast-- like a ninja).
I tried to explain to him how that wasn't good, but I couldn't get mad at him, since he didn't know any better, obviously.
It definitely scared me to realize that he could so innocently put her in real danger!! Mercy, please Lord!
I made this hat for "squishy face" last week, thanks to a tip from Lora! : )
Another picture, just because she is so lovable.
