Snowy weather

The weather man went on and on about the nice weather in Washington and how it was coming our way. Of course that meant it had to snow today... all day. Good job channel 8!

I've been feeling trapped inside and wanted to go outside so despite my hatred for snow I headed outside with Rosalee.

It's hilarious what joy she can get out of the weirdest things!

Trouble was SO happy to be outside and to have someone play with her. It was fun to play soccer with the dog even if it made me worry that she was going to pop the ball.

Rosalee saying, "Brrrrrr!"

Despite my warnings, Rosalee wanted to drive her car in the snow. It got stuck, she got frustrated and quickly backed it back onto the porch.

After the car fiasco Rosalee went around the porch collecting pieces of wood and cleaning them up. When I asked her what she was doing she told me, "Mommy I build my house."

No trip outside would be complete without Rosalee "cooking" something for me. Today's special included two pinecones, a large rock, snow, and a rotten tomato from the dead plants I've neglected to throw away.

After Rosalee made me my snack I convinced her to come inside and make a real snack with me. We made brownies and halfway through the cooking process she informed me that we need to add "chips" to it. So I pulled out the brownies, stirred the top around, and let Rosalee dump a rather large handful of chocolate chips on top. End result- gut busting deliciousness!
