Weekend activities

Weekends are wonderful!  Here is Chloe in her "chef hat" helping Andrew with the pancakes.  She likes to be Chef Chloe and we are known as Chef Daddy and Chef Mommy. 
 Madeline gave the pancakes and berries two thumbs up!
 Next up:  Baking.  Not cookies, but Christmas ornaments.  We made a big batch of salt dough which to Maddie's surprise does not taste like cookie dough (1 cup flour, 1 cup salt and about 1/2 c of water or more until dough is soft but not sticky).  We just baked it in the oven at the lowest temp we could (170F) for a really long time (4+hours) and the ornaments come out hard and sturdy, and ready to be painted.  We don't have any finished products yet because around here the painting process takes weeks on end!


 I even had a little time to fit in a baby photo shoot, while Andrew had Chloe outside.  Maddie kept catapulting herself off the bed onto me, so although she was super happy, capturing a still photo was a challenge/miracle.   

 While we were inside this is what Chloe was doing with Andrew outside!!  Skiing!  She loved it.  Andrew taught her how to sidestep up the hill and to ski down.  She is a natural!
 Falling down was even part of the fun for her.  She loved that she could get up again all on her own!
 Too cute!  We love the weekends!
