cold days

Elinor making yoga a challenge.
I was desperate for her to get out all her energy the other night so we made a "popsicle" course. Line of tape as a balance beam, yoga mat#1 for a tumble, tunnel and yoga mat#2 for a bridge. After a few times she just ran in circles. 
 trips to target turn into Elinor trying everything on and inspecting every toy down the pink aisle.
 She picked this outfit out. It was in the negatives this day so anything goes to get through it.
Our days always consist of her lining these guys up and quizzing me on each ones name. "mama, who's this? awesome, very good!"

We have done some baking and cooking (chocolate chip scones and the best vegan pancakes I've ever made, plus soups and stews) and watching the Frozen videos over and over. Elinor mimics Elsa in the Let It Go video and tries to sing it. Dave and I cry from laughing. I need to get a video. We are super Frozen obsessed over here and were excited to find these printables. Elinor has been coloring the same page for days now. 

How is everyone else getting through these cold days?

  1. Love the obstacle course! That is an awesome idea.

    It's HOT here in Florida, but it's been storming every day. We are going stir crazy indoors.

    1. She is obsessed with my glasses. I showed those "fashion" frames and she thought she was so cool.

  4. Love the obstacle course! The boys have been using lots of blankets and furniture to create forts, and then of course the baby comes toddling over like Godzilla and destroys them! We've definitely been staying indoors though!

    1. Forts are always great ideas! Since she got her tent for Christmas, we haven't been making as many forts.
