I Digress

Need to interrupt all this Christmas reflection with a bit of real time reality.

  

It was -26 in Eagle River over the weekend.  No amount of bundling up of a 2 year old is enough to head outside.  The sun shined bright and frankly Amelia was a bit confused as to why we were not going outside.

We opted for indoor activities including playing with her My Little Pony and Littlest Petshop playsets she received for Christmas and Cupcake making. 

I saw the squeeze bottles on Pinterest and my niece mentioned pancake batter in them too.  They make it soooo much easier for kids to fill cupcake liners!  Only a few drips when she was not paying attention to the task at hand (I asked her to look at the camera ahhaha).  She did about 6 and said "mom you finish them."  Fine.  Whipped up some buttercream icing and we have cupcakes for the week (or more) as our neighbor, Jim is not home to share with. 

Funny too, I was just thinking Spring the other day (when it was +30 degrees) and a package arrived from Bebe Bella Designs ... that certainly put me back into 

the spring mode! 

First time I have ordered from here and all were on sale :) Tank dresses, shoulder tie dresses, tunic tops, flowery hair band and striped capris were all included. Think she has enough dresses!  Actually...enough clothes in general!

Amelia loves to get packages in the mail and this one she gasped at and wanted to put on the "bee" dress.

   

Apparently, I have an Alaskan child as she could run around in a sleeveless tank all day and never say she is cold.  I did insist on the long sleeve shirt underneath.  It's -26 outside!!!  Good grief.

Next:  back to Christmas Day at the Wierbinski's.  

Sorry for the distraction :)
