because something is better than nothing. 

Champion nappers. 

Our first snowgirl (because Ella insisted it was a girl. I got corrected many a time for calling it a snowman.) Kate wearing what we call her "fft fft pants" because of the noise they make when she walks. Ella helping hold on the obnoxiously long arm. (I made fun of the tiny arms Jon picked out, so he found one I couldn't complain about.) And me. . . because I don't make it into many photos.

Round two of our snowman. (I mean, snowgirl.) Her head fell off due to melt. We repositioned  the decorations, and found a more resonably sized arm. 

Jon and Ella's tower. Piglet's ears touched the ceiling. 

The girls (Kate especially) like to play in the water. Kate has gone so far as to open the closet, pull her step stool out, push it up to the sink, retrieve the pan, and hand it to me. She doesn't have a lot of words, but she gets her point across. She usually needs a dry shirt by the time I'm done making dinner, but it's a small price to pay to avoid her beggin to be held.
