Cory and the kids are out running errands right now in this cold, blustery weather. Accalia was so excited to see the snow this morning even though we maybe have two inches. Last night as I was going to bed (Accalia and Cory were still up), I told her there would be snow on the ground when she woke up and she should dream about us making snowballs. This morning I asked if she had dreamed about snow, and she said, "No, I dreamed about going to a park far, far away. And you came, too!"

Putting on her "snow clothes", as Accalia is referring to her winter outerwear, is probably going to get old fast for me. It's so much work! Accalia's been wearing her snowpants, parka, hat, mittens and boots inside most of the day. Cole absolutely refuses to wear a hat or mittens. He even starts screaming when I put his hood up. I think it's going to be a very long winter if this keeps up.

Accalia was eating an apple today. I was in the kitchen hanging up diaper covers on the drying rack when she exclaimed, "Look Mommy! I found something!" She was excited because she had eaten to the core of the apple and found the seeds. Apparently she's never eaten that deep into an apple before :) It was like finding buried treasure for her, though.
