Cars and Snow

Today we didn't do too much. We hit the car wash with two of the cars. A little snow on the ground makes the cars really really dirty really really fast. It is IMPOSSIBLE to keep your car clean here in the winter!

Right now we have three cars. Two are not practical for the kids. The mini is a cute fun car but...Mia no longer has room for her legs in the back and it just doesn't feel that safe for the kids. We don't put them in it that often, just when my car is being worked on. But we are going to start looking for something that would work a little better as an extra car. We may even just give up the third car altogether, but it is really nice to have around when there are visitors or the big car is in the shop. We just keep a set of car seats in it so there is no moving those crazy things around!

But anyway, after the car wash it was the grocery store and then naps so they would be reasonably well behaved for a Christmas party. They both had fun even though there were no other kids their age. Mia spent a lot of the time pretending this marionette was Santa Claus.

Anna...well, Anna did what she does well. She ate.

And yes, this is the third time they have worn these Christmas dresses! They will wear them once more for Christmas Eve and then they'll be retired. But you will probably see Mia's on Anna in the next year or two!
