Well, 'tis the season for the ick. Caroline got it with a vengeance over the weekend. She had to stay inside much of the time (you can see she is having a terrible time as a result) :) She now has a confirmed case of double ear infection, and the amoxicillin to go with them. So we are on the mend. And just in time for the 60 (?!?) degree weather we are going to have today. Anyone have some snow they can send our way?
A day early (Jack had to work today) we made a family visit to the new Martin Luther King Jr memorial on the mall. It is a pretty cool statue, though it isn't as imposing as some of the other memorials on the mall. But, I admit my view may be a bit skewed by the fact that it was COLD. It was still sunny (see ubiquitous sunglasses), but really cold. But we ran around a bit to warm up. The view of the reflecting pool is pretty cool too.
One of our friend's little girl is not so little any more. She has decided that she isn't going to play with all of her baby doll stuff any more. So she passed it on to Caroline--much to Caroline's joy. She spent a great portion of today giving baby dolls baths. Who knew the baby dolls were so dirty?
So it didn't last long and there wasn't much, but we finally got snow. And as an added bonus, it was perfect snowball snow. So we took Caroline outside and taught her the fine art of throwing snowballs at Daddy's knees. She decided (she has her mon's inability to aim) that it was more fun to jump on them and say "stomp." Too funny.
Happy Three Kings day! We have taken to having a little Epiphany celebration as a family since we are always at home, no matter where we travel for Christmas. So this morning we woke Caroline up just a little early for muffins and the fun surprises in her stocking in honor of the wise men. You can see what her favorite surprise was. Of course George had to come and help us at the grocery this afternoon.
What, don't you wear your sunglasses when you go to the zoo? Don't yours have sparkles?
