Crazy Texas Weather

Last week we had a textbook case of Texas weather - ice storms one day and beautiful sunshine the next! Because of the ice storm (and an achy tailbone for me after taking a slip on some of the ice - ouch!), Meredith and I spent lots of time in the house, which meant we had to find lots of fun things to keep us both busy. We made cookies for a friend that had a baby, and she loved helping me scoop out the dough.

Later we made other cookies to keep - we had a super cute set that Meredith's friend, Isabelle gave her that included a magic wand and color-changing cookie mix. Meredith's favorite part was adding the sprinkles (and of course eating the cookies and lots of frosting!)
When we weren't baking up sweets, Meredith was so excited to pull out her "tent" (which is really a playhouse made out of tent fabric) and her tunnel that she could crawl through. We had lots of tea parties in the tent over the several days we stayed in, we might need to look for a bigger tent if she keeps wanting me and baby Jillian in my tummy to join her!
