Cold, Cold go away.

My goodness it has been cold here the last couple days. Well, more than a couple, it's been really cold for a week now. This morning it was 22 degrees but with wind chill it felt like 13, our little feet are freezing. We have been doing our best to stay warm, staying inside most of the time. It's been hard not being able to go to parks which we love so much, Chance really needs to get out and run around but we have been keeping busy inside the house with lots of fun projects and playing with all Chance's toys.

We have made it out of the house here and there too on Friday we went to the Children's Museum with our playgroup and on Thursday we even made a quick unplanned trip to Chuck E. Cheese while purchasing supplies to fix our couch. We also made a quick trip to Target to get another rug for the front of the house to help keep the place warm.

While at the Children's Museum we explored their brand new area all about the unique architecture of New Orleans and then building and architecture in general. They have a whole little shotgun house (the type of house we live in) and a creole cottage that are both perfect size for little guys, I couldn't get a good picture of Chance inside one of the houses because he was having too much fun playing and running around in them.


Scott left for Houston today where he will be all week, but we are just happy it isn't a long trip, he will be back either Friday night or Saturday morning. Chance and I have little things planned all week, playdates and the library and other things to keep us busy and hopefully warm too.
P.S. for those of you interested in our pictures I added a widget to the blog at the right that shows a slideshow of the most recently uploaded photos to our Flickr account.

Picture #1 is Chance buildding a tower with his new blocks, staying busy inside.
#2 is him inside a big bubble at the Children's Museum. he pulled the rope all by himself.
# 3 Chance practicing his city planning in the new section of the Children's Museum
# 4 at the Children's Museum, he played with this for nearly half an hour. He grabbed the ping pong balls from the bottom and put them in the cup at the top then watched them roll all the way down back and forth.
# 5 Scott and Chance playing games at Chuck E. Cheese
# 6 this is our couch with a new look. We covered the hole in the top back adding the black fabric over the top and front. This was our first time doing anything like this but it's still sticking so we give it two thumbs up.
