A Margot Moment

Here's a day in the life of Margot. First, see how many random outfits she can wear in one day. This hand-me-down dance costume is one of her current favorites. Next, always have one slipper on, which is not pictured so you'll just have to trust me on this. She walks around wearing one of Elsie's slippers for the better part of her day. Just to make things more exciting she at times will insist on wearing gloves inside the house. Gloves that I need to help her maneuver each little finger into the correct hole. It is a tedious chore. Her hair is always crazy. She walks around the house looking like this and telling people to call her Cinderella.
Margot: "I Cinderella"
Me: "Hi Cinderella! How are you?"
Margot: "Gut. Bye."

We have this conversation at least 16 times a day.

One last story for you. Today I went into Margot's room after nap to get her out of her crib. She had taken off all her clothes. Luckily the diaper with still on. I asked, "Margot Belle, why would you take off all your clothes? It's too cold to be naked." Her answer: "I go swimming Mom."

First Snow!

Snow in mid-November is super exciting when you live with a 4-year-old. Her enthusiasm was contagious. When Elsie looked out the window and said "It looks amazing" I had to agree with her. On Saturday, we played in the snow, made a snowman, sled down our tiny hill and had hot chocolate. As noted above Elsie is a big fan of the snow. Margot is going to need some time to adjust.

After the girls are done shoveling they are going to put together the snow blower.
