Keep Those Snow Days Comin'!

Snow day #3 yesterday was fun, but I was feeling a bit under the weather.  However, Mia was still zipping around going 90 to nothing, so I kept up as best as I could.  I was incredibly happy to find a sticker book in Mia's art supplies that she got for Christmas.  She made some "sticker art", and that kept her occupied for quite awhile.  It's interesting to see how her art turns out.  In a way, it kind of shows how her mind works. 

For lunch, Mia and I bundled up and walked two blocks to our favorite diner, Norma's.  Norma's has been a staple of Oak Cliff cuisine for decades.  Corn muffins, chicken, mashed potatoes, carrots, and then peaches for dessert.  Yum!  The sidewalks were basically a sheet of ice, and I carried Mia the whole way there and back.  I was pretty tired when we got home, but it was good to get out of the house for a little while.

Mia must have been pretty tired, too.  Even after her nap, she sat quietly on the couch with a cup of dried cranberries and yogurt-covered raisins (a favorite snack combo of her's) and watched Hello Kitty.  I tried to capture this rare moment of stillness with a picture, but she kept leaning around me to see Hello Kitty.  Funny girl.  The rest of the day was spent like we usually do with books, toys, and coloring.  We also danced a lot to Mia's Silly Songs with Larry cd.  All in all it was a great day!

Trying to see HK.  I guess I was in the way.
