Around the House!

This week my car has been in the shop.  Thankfully, there were no major issues, just a testy sensor that had us thinking it was going to blow up any second!!  phhheeew...we avoided a huge bill!!

So, we had to get CREATIVE around the house!!  I was nervous @ the thought of having 2 toddlers (Elsie Anne + Adeline) cooped up in a 1,000sq.ft. condo for 7hrs, 3days in a row!  But, they put me to the test, and I was happy to see that we all managed to have fun + keep our sanity:)

Some of my favorite moments...

• having the... Dump Trunk w/ Driver, Car w/ Momma + Baby, Airplane w/ Pilot, 2 passengers, Handy Manny, Kelly +Abolito squished inside... all out in the living room.  the girls helping each figure in/out of the vehicles, flying the plane, vvrooming the car + dumping the truck!  love their imaginations!
• stacking blocks, making tall towers + knocking them over!
• playing w/ EAs new dollhouse.  each having a wooden figure in hand... bouncing them around, climbing the stairs, sitting them on the potty + @ the table, + sliding them down the arm of the couch!
• pushing the stroller + grocery buggy around + around + AROUND our tiny living room!  using the grocery basket w/ fruits + veges!
• climbing through the tunnel that Shawn made for them one of the mornings!
• stretching, yoga, singing songs, acting like animals, using our musical instruments + pots/pans!
• having almost every book out... and asking me to "wead peease!" and obliging w/ a smile!
• Bus Ride to town + back!!
• SNOW TIME!  its one of my favorite things, seeing these girls in their little snow suits, waddling along making tiny foot prints in the sparkling snow.  each day we get outside, some days i'm a little more motivated than others:)

Buggy Time...

Stacking...

Across the street from our house is a 'wood furniture store', which also make these cute Mtn.Bears...

Having a laugh together!

Took the bus into Town.  Walked around the Bus Station, danced to the music @ the Gondola, sat on a bench for snack...

...and splashed in the only puddle around :)  I love not worrying that they'll get wet!

Almost fell asleep on the Bus Ride home!!

After being worried about the week + what we would do w/out my car, I'm feeling pretty SUCCESSFUL @ the moment!  These little 'highs' are what LIFE IS ALL ABOUT!!
