Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

It looks like we are going to have a white Christmas. So far we have gotten about 6 inches of snow since yesterday and it is supposed to continue. Forrest Jr. is loving it and has been watching frosty the snowman a lot. Forrest had duty yesterday and had to stay on base overnight due to the bad visibility and amount of snow, but he is home now. We took Forrest Jr. out to play this afternoon and he loved it. Even Missy came out to play, although she wasn't too sure if she liked at first.

We are definitely missing all of our family as Christmas approaches. We wish we could be home with you guys, but thanks to Grandma Hill's cookie recipe we brought a little bit of home to us today. I made some cookie dough and then Forrest Jr. and his friends Lilianna and Olivia came over to decorate cookies. Mostly they ate the frosting, sprinkles, and took as many bites of cookie as they could when we weren't looking. So I guess I should say that Amy and I frosted cookies this morning while the kids got hyped on sugar. Then they ran around like crazy kids for a while. Currently Forrest Jr. is napping :)

Here are some pictures from our fun morning and I am including a video on the side of the page.

Forrest was helping me make Chocolate Chip Cookies.



This is the view from out of my kitchen window this morning.


Decorating cookies. Forrest told me last night that he was going to share his car with lilly when she came over, but that was just to hard once she got here.

"I'm not your circus animal!"

The other night Forrest and Forrest Jr. were playing around in the living room. As I was passing by the room I heard big Forrest say "I'm not your circus animal!" This was too funny to ignore I had to ask what was going on. Come to find out Forrest Jr. was sitting on the couch and had his daddy standing in the middle of the floor while he directed him to spin around and around, over and over again. I guess daddy was done playing this game.

Do Banana's Poop?

Well according to my son they do. He was eating a banana before bed tonight and when he got towards the bottom of it he noticed a brown spot. He pointed to it and said "Poo Poo" I told him no that it was just a spot, but he insisted it was Poo Poo and threw the rest of the banana away. Gotta love the way kids think.

Playing in the Snow

We had our first snowfall on Sunday morning. Forrest Jr. was so excited about it and there was no way we could keep him inside. He played outside until his little hands were red and frozen, and even then I had to bribe him to come inside with a banana and 101 Dalmations.

Breakfast with Santa

So I am playing catch up with the blog. On Saturday Morning the Air Station had a Breakfast with Santa for all the families. It was so much fun and Forrest Jr. got a kick out of everything from the mickey mouse pancakes to the jump house. The highlight of the event was when Santa arrived by helicopter. Very cool! We worried that Forrest might not want to sit with Santa, but he jumped right on his lap on started talking away! It was a really cool experience.

Lunch Date with My Little Man

So the little man and I just had to get out of the house today. All he wanted all morning was pancakes and to go the park. It is just way too cold for the park, so we headed out for lunch together at Burger King. We don't usually do fast food, but today was an exception. I have to tell you that at first I felt a little guilty, here I am 5 1/2 months pregnant and with a two year old in tow and I am walking in to Burger King...Oh well...I got over it fast, especially since he got a real kick out of wearing one of those cardboard crowns; which he also wore into the next store.

So what is there to do on a cold cape cod day when you and your 2 year old are going stir crazy? Well first we stopped at the DMV (known as the RMV here), I figured it was time to face the reality that I really am living here and register my car before I get pulled over and hauled off to jail in front of my 2 year old. lol. I know thats an exaggeration but it was about time I did it. Then because we had done something productive I figured we deserved to go shopping. Got a great deal on an awesome purse and new sweater that fits over my growing belly, and also found a christmas outfit for little Forrest. Now its not as good as the park but little Forrest had a good time too, especially when he found a whole bunch of stuffed horses that he could play with. He also enjoyed saying "HI" to everyone we passed.
