You’re never too young to fall in love with a new pair of shoes…

Or pretend you’re a model and pose with a serious face…

She refuses to take these shoes off by the way…

I have no idea where she get’s it from

The freezing cold temps of winter make it challenging to be outdoors, especially for M.  Looking for different indoor activities we could do at home, I randomly purchased some Play-Doh.  I had no idea what her reaction would be. The main thought that crossed my mind was she’d try to eat it.

On a day where we peaked on every toy we had in the house, I decided it was Play-Doh time. I laid her mat on the table, set up the Play-Doh, put her in her chair, and waited to see what she’d do with it.

M was beyond fascinated.  So fascinated that she played for over an hour, without needing any of my help.

She mainly reorganized all the Play-Doh containers.  At one point she did bust out the rolling pin and tried to make some shapes.

I’m very happy with this for three reasons…

1. It kept her entertained for over an hour (with light supervision).
2. I was able to finish a load of laundry and clean & reorganize some kitchen drawers.
3. She didn’t try to eat any of it

Success and happiness for all parties involved!

We got a little snow in the DC area last night.  When I say a little, I mean about five inches, which is enough for the entire DC area to shut everything down.

This meant no school for M today.  Snow Day = Soft Serve Day

We went to Artfully Chocolate.  I love this place for so many reasons.

1. Its just down the street from our house
2. It has the best Diva Hot Chocolates ever!
3. It has soft serve

Here’s M mesmerized by all the retro candy…

These are just a few pics of their cool candy selection.

Turkish Taffy….

Skybar’s…

PEZ dispenser’s + candy refills….

Hello Kitty Marshmallow Pops….

We stuck with what we went for.  We split a chocolate vanilla swirl soft serve with sprinkles…

It was the perfect afternoon outing
