Sidewalk Flair and Other Items of Importance

Yesterday we braved the cold to get a little crafty on the sidewalk.

Claudia and I drew pictures of sunshines in hopes that we might soon see some.

About five minutes in to this exercise, Claudia started sampling the art supplies.

I never know what is going on in her little head, 

but I suspect it goes like this.

Claudia:   mmm, tastes good.

Claudia:  aah, it drives Mom crazy.

Claudia:  ah ha!  Cramming chalk in my mouth is

far better than frittering it away on the sidewalk.

In other news... Claudia has mastered talking on the cell phone.

At dinner she would only talk to Aunt Debbie via cell phone.

Claudis has also been very helpful in the kitchen lately.

This little girl doubles as a fruit bowl!

This is about how far we've gotten with potty training.  Not quite there yet.  =)

Over in Texasland we are keeping very busy with art projects, visiting friends and family and picking up a few life skills here and there.   It seems like it is bitter cold almost everywhere so I hope this post finds you sitting cozy by a computer somewhere!
