{Ponies, Angels and Sleds}

Someone decided to be brave today and ride the pony.  She just hopped right on and pushed the button.  The tail swished, the hooves clip clopped and the neighs began.  She loved it.  No amount of prodding from us could get her on that thing, but today she just jumped on.  Usually works that way doesn't it?  I guess all that bravery prompted her to share the love. Nothing like bringing a friend along for the ride.

I can't believe how fast this little peanut is growing up.

I keep trying to see that little baby in there.  The one who stares back at me from the pictures on the screen saver every day over and over, but she keeps getting hidden by this new changing face.

She is talking so much now.  Her personality is starting to show it's self.  We are seeing glimpses of  the little girl she will become.  We are all pretty smitten I must say.

We got quite a bit of snow today.  The first thing the girls wanted to do after school was get knee deep in the white stuff.  Too bad it was really only ankle deep.  More then anything they like walking in the fresh snow, the snow no one has touched yet.  I totally get that.

Someone asked once if they always get along and if they are always the best of friends.  Right after they made these angels, I tried to get a shot of both of them together...Janey got mad at Riley for messing up her angel, snow was thrown, feelings were hurt and yada, yada no picture was taken...one went one way in a huff and the other went the opposite direction in tears.

I look out the window later and see Riley  writing "sorry" and "I love you" in the snow.  Janey saw it and tried to write something too...couldn't quite make it out...let's hope it was nice!

Five minutes later, they are doing this. Pulling each other around on a sled...on level ground mind you.
Now that's love.

Dave has been out of town for a few days.  Boy do we miss him.  We did pretty good for ourselves I must say.  The big girls help out so much and Aubrey...well if she can get in her cabinet while I play "Where's Aubrey"? she's quite content during dinner making.

Yes that is mac-n-cheese straight from the blue box boiling there on the stove.A girls gotta do what a girl gotta do. We certainly do eat better when Daddy's around.

After some jump roping, carpet skating  and some light reading we had dessert and called it a night.

Hope your Thursday was terrific.

Enjoy the day,
