Wow what a snow/ice storm we had about 2 weeks ago! I just never know whether to believe the predictions or not but the weatherman hit it right on the mark with this one! The snow and ice kept us inside for a good 4 days. I couldn't believe how thick the ice was! Zack was home with us one day but then went to work on the others. I thought about getting out a couple of times but decided it wasn't worth it. We had nowhere we had to be and I didn't want to chance a wreck with Macie in the car...or this little one growing inside me! By the end of the week, I had cabin fever but Macie was GREAT the entire week! I couldn't complain about that. She didn't even fuss! We enjoyed several pajama days, watched lots of Mickey Mouse Club and Dora the Explorer, played babies/kitchen, and did as much as we could to stay entertained. I have been trying to do little craft activities with Macie lately. So we tried to do some different things each day. We baked cookies and muffins. (Lots of Taste Testing on the muffins...no worries it is only a cake mix and pumpkin. Eggs aren't in them. THESE are Macie's FAVORITE!) We played in Cool Whip, made necklaces, colored, tried using scissors, and basically had some good mommy/daughter fun.
Macie wasn't so sure where or what to do in the beginning with the Cool Whip. Once I started playing with it she got the hang of making shapes and hand prints. She kept saying, "My hand print."
Lots of TASTE Testing
After baking cookies and muffins the first day and playing with Cool Whip, Macie did the dishes each time. She washed dishes for about 30 minutes each day which also included soaking her clothes and the floor! We went through several towels and lots of dishwashing soap. Hey but who cares...it's a snow day!
Reading to her baby
I had these bath toys that I hadn't given Macie yet. So she got them this week and enjoyed playing in the bath several times!
I thought the necklaces were such a great idea. However, I did most of the stringing and Macie did all of the eating! This was Macie's first time to eat Fruit Loops so she kept repeating, "Yummy!"
