Bringing winter indoors

A friend of mine had a great idea that she does with her kids- if it's too cold outside, bring outside indoors! She's so smart. 

We do this every once in a while on those insanely cold days. 

At first Ellie didn't get it, she thought we were getting dressed to go outside but soon realized that her hands would freeze off if she tried to play without her mittens.

This is usually a hit, instead of playing with the same old toys again that they have grown so bored of. 

And just for fun, these pics are from a couple of weeks ago before I took Wren to go get her hair cut. I found them in t he bathroom getting ready. Wren was coming Ellie's (sparse) hair and Ellie was loving it. 

Wren wanted her hair to stay as long as Rapunzel's (like from the movie, Tangled), but we chopped a solid 2 inches off. I was tired of brushing through endless knots. It's pretty cute now, I'll get on another post sooner than later...hopefully! Does anyone even stop by here anymore?! I would have given up too!

Anyways, stay warm. :)
