Icemaggedon 2013

We have been stuck in the house for most of the weekend, ever since Thursday afternoon. Keeping a two year old busy in the house for 4 days gets tough. Luckily, I had been holding out a little while to make some salt dough ornaments with little man. He really enjoyed this. I am grateful that is occupied him for almost an hour. He loves to play with cookie cutters.

Such concentration

All projects go better with your tongue hanging out

After we got them all cut out and on the baking sheet we baked them for about 4 hours. After we did some ornament cutting we decided to go outside and checkout the ice.

Saturday we ended up braving the icy streets and making our way to the mall to ride the carousel walk around. We also ended up going to see the doctor for a cough that just wouldn't go away.  He is on antibiotics and on the mend now, not that you would know he was feeling bad. So the ornaments had to wait until Sunday morning. Sunday we painted some of our ornaments. I saved some for later in the case we get stuck again or just bored. 

Sunday afternoon Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Mike came to visit. Unfortunately, Ethan was napping. But Grandpa came with gifts, one that we can't seem to keep him away from.  He loves this train. And it is something that we can add to as the years pass. It was the first thing he asked for this morning. So thank you Grandpa.

He made sure Huggsie was able to see too.

We hope everyone is staying warm!
