This is Great!

Kylee has a large bucket of balls (like the ones from ball pits) that we play with. One day (during the snow storm) Pete and I started throwing them at each other and Kylee thought this was the funniest thing. Since then, she has told us to "come here" and put us in separate corners of the room. She then takes the bucket of balls and says "throw" so we start launching them at one another. The best is that Kylee then takes a seat on the table or couch and just watches the game. : )

The last time we played this, I taught Kylee how to sneak up on Daddy and pretend she didn't have any balls to throw at him. This is how she did! : )

Kidz Play Indoor Playground

After all the snow hit, we were all itching to get out of the house. We found an indoor playground to take Kylee too that turned out to be a lot of fun. It took her a while to warm up to the things that were there since there were so many people there. First she tried out all the "toddler" houses and slides.

She was dying to go up in the pirate ship. Of course she technically wasn't allowed because of her age but once all the "big" kids were gone we let her give it a whirl.

This is what I got when I told Kylee to "Say Cheese!" : )

It took A LOT of convincing and some practice jumps on the ramp that led into the bounce house but once she got in there, Kylee was in her glory. She figured out how to climb up the ramp ...

... and go down the slide that was inside.

Then she spent quite a bit of time jumping around inside. : )

A Kylee Video

I just wanted to try out the video feature on my camera and see if I could get a video up on the blog. Enjoy! : )

More Snowed In Activities

We are on Day number 8 of being homebound/snowbound. The good news is that there is an end in sight and we MIGHT be getting out of the house today (definitely tomorrow!) Kylee has been great though and keeps finding more ways to amuse herself. Here are some of the newest activites from our house:

Drawing . . .

Drawing on the windows and mirrors (always a fun activity!) ...

Playing with window clings ...

And last but not least . . . "stickering" Daddy's face! : )

Although we have been homebound for over a week it has been nice to be able to just stay home and spend some time together. But hopefully the next post will show pictures of us somewhere other than the house! : )

Blizzard of 2010

After Daddy shoveled some paths in the driveway we got ready to head outside to see all the snow. Kylee was a trooper and really put on the layers for us. She has outgrown her snowsuit and we weren't expecting Virginia to be hit with so much snow lately so we didn't buy a new one for the rest of this season. Plus, Kylee usually just likes to watch the snow from inside. Well, lately she has been wanting to "walk snow" whenever we are outside so we thought she might really want to go outside this time.

Ready to head outside.

Standing in the driveway path that Daddy has been shoveling. Turns out she didn't want to be down too much and just wanted to be "up" and surrounded by the snow.

We have obviously been spending A LOT of time inside. We pulled out Kylee's beach tent and she has had a lot of fun playing inside of it.

First with her animals ...

then as a nice place to read ...

and finally it was a nice spot to watch a movie from.

We also made some brownies today!

YUMMY!

Looks like we will be hanging around the house for at least a few more days so there are sure to be some more pictures coming soon! : )

A Hodge Podge of Recent Pictures

Here are just some recent pictures of Kylee (and a few of Mommy and Daddy) from January and February.

Playing her new computer game (with her own special mouse.)

These are from my 30th Birthday Party which was an 80s themed Murder Mystery! My character was "Debbie Gribson" and Pete was "Vee Pee Herman." We just did our best in having Kylee dress in 80s style. : )

These were all taken at a local park on one of the nice January days that we had.

Last but not least, here is Kylee doing one of her favorite activities ... arranging all of her "friends."
