Maggie made it through the night. She woke up at 5:45 but that's actually progress. The girls are not going to sleep quite as quickly tonight. They are taking turns yelling "I love you" at the top of their lungs and then chanting "Mom" simultaneously. It's pretty sweet - but it's obvious they are looking for a way to somehow extend the day a little longer.
The girls and I ventured out in the snow today. They have been begging to make cookies since we got here...but I didn't have any eggs. Le cinq seasons (the 5 seasons) mini grocery was again on our agenda today. We stopped by Oink Oink on the way. It's a two story toy store. It's similar to the toy stores in Columbia accept it's on two levels which made a big impression on Carly. The prices were very expensive, though - $20 for a simple puzzle.
Maggie was in the backpack for the outing. I didn't think our cheap umbrella stroller would make it in the fresh snow. I decided to let her walk home because my back was killing. I was glad to have it for the toy store, though. The walk home was probably the highlight. The girls ventured off the sidewalk into the fresh snow quite often. This was the first snow that was actually good for making snow balls...I guess it was a little wetter. I took a picture of them sitting against a very large tree surrounded by snow on my phone - but I have no idea how to get the picture off my phone.
I had brought a package of oatmeal cookies that just needed water and eggs. I looked all over the store today for more prepackaged cookies, brownies, and cakes...none! Yikes!!!
