Playing Towels

This is one of those "games" Claire plays that we have no idea where it came from.....she calls it playing towels. Basically, unload the drawer full of dish towels and spread them out perfectly around the floor. Sometimes it means stacking them all up in a neat pile.
Most of the time when it is time to pick up, all the towels get neatly folded and put back in the drawer...by Claire, no joke! Maybe a little OCD...hmmm, wonder where she could have gotten that from??!!

Also, I would like to introduce you to "Am Wade". Lately, Miss Independent wants to do everything herself, so this is what we get told..."Am going to do it" "Am feed myself" "Am going to put my shoes on" "Am going to watch Mickey Mouse"...get the picture. Of course, we try and correct her and say " I am". But now it is funny because we ask her name and she says "Am" and the best part is, is she knows it's a joke. "I not Am, I Claire"

Snow Day 2011

We take what we can get when it comes to snow in South Arkansas...oh! how I wish we would have gotten the 5-10 inches that many of our friends got a mere hour away but maybe next time. Miss Claire is probably more of a beach bunny then a snow bunny. She liked eating the ice and got cold quickly. She could not quite understand why there was not a snowman...try explaining that one to a two year old....and of course, the snow we got was not snowman material. I did, however, get some precious shots of our growing little lady!

"Momma, Am going to eat all this ice!!!"

Me and my girl!

Christmas in the Ozarks

Like I said before I was not good at taking pictures this Christmas so I borrowed these from Emily's blog. My dad and Kathi just finished building a beautiful home in the Ozarks with breathtaking views. Mountains, rivers, and even a train that runs along it....God sure did paint some pretty pictures in Arkansas!

The following pictures of Claire and Josh make me laugh out loud!! She was being so silly and got Uncle Josh to play along...I think she surprised him with a kiss!!
