passing the days...

Andrew has been gone a bit more recently and since its also been cold and gloomy in "Colorful Colorado" we've been trying to keep busy and happy indoors.

This activity definitely kept Will and me busy- but not always happy. After putting up with the living room being completely useless for 2 days; while also interceding on numerous demolition attempts by the girls which were ALWAYS preceded by freak out attacks from Will; I was MORE than delighted to put it all away last night.  However, through his tears and words like: "It just makes me SO sad and tired [*sniff, sniff] that we have to tear down my [sniff*sniff] fort", he begged me to take a TON of pictures before we tore it down. poor boy.

But it we had jolly times nevertheless.
Will's looking a little intense here...

After being "holed up" for so long we thought it'd be a great idea to venture outside and take a walk to Auntie's house. and, what do ya know? but the sun decided to come out on our way back home. Those 28 degrees all of a sudden felt extra warm and lovely.
 
  
The only reason the girls are actually looking at me and standing still in this picture by the garage is because they were in the middle of a chorus of "no, no, no, no" telling me they were not interested in looking at me so i could take their picture! ha, outsmarted. ;)

SURPRISE! Nana drove by and stopped for a quick hello. Yay for nana who can always make the girls happy.

Very cool fort, I'd be sad to take it down too. Gee mom, why can't it just stay up forever? =)
