Slippery snowtime session

Last winter JSL was too little to go out and play in the snow. This year it is quite different. Not only is he ready to go outside and play, but he is walking on his own.

Several weeks ago we had a pretty large snowstorm on a Friday. The next morning we all went out to shovel, play in the snow and watch the little guy play for the first time. I happened to capture video very early in his exploration. Here it is:

 

Not to worry, JSL quickly learned how to walk on the snow in his boots. After I ditched the camera, JSL was in the snow playing with his big brother and being pulled in a sled by Daddy. Of course, the only time he did not like the snow was when he tripped over his own two feet and face planted into a snow bank. Major tears resulted with a very cold face.

Ah, the joys of living in a place with cold and snow in the winter!

My question for this week:

Have you ever played the Dreidel game?

As previously mentioned I went into my son’s kindergarten class on Wednesday to play the dreidel game with them. Here are some of the new dreidels that I bought for our family last year on clearance (always looking for a bargain).

Lots of new dreidels

To get into the Chanukah spirit, since the Festival of Lights begins Sunday evening, I want to share a fun video. Several of my friends have posted this and sent links to it via e-mail. Even my grandmother (Hi Mimi) received an e-mail from a friend with this. Please enjoy Captain Smartpants singing Dreidel.

Message from my 19 month old

Apparently singing songs with your new favorite word is all the rage among 19 months old. Can you guess what it is from the video?

Although really cute, hearing this over and over, and occassionally with a wagging finger can get old. My new challenge to JSL come up with a new song for your other favorite word –> Google!

 Note – Sorry about the video. For some reason I could not FTP it today. Will try later when TechyDad is here. For now this works.

One Big Mama Pizza

Have you ever seen a 30 inch pizza before?

No really, I am being serious. Such a beast really does exist, and not simply on Food Network for an eating challenge. We recently found a new pizza place that is really cute. The people there are very nice and the best part, they make wheat pizza.

My mother called last Friday to see if we wanted to have dinner with her and order a wheat pizza since my father was working late. We said sure and figured we would try an experiment. Since there were five of us eating the pizza, and left overs would be great, we opted to order the Big Mama.

After walking in to pick up the pizza, we wondered if it may have been a rather large mistake (pun intended).

The gentleman had to walk around the counter to hand us the mega box holding this 30 inch pizza. I stood there in horror wondering how we were going to get that into our car. I knew it could not go on JL’s lap in the front, nor on the floor in the middle with the boys. Clearly, the trunk had to work. Problem was it was too big to simply go there. Thank goodness we have a mini-van and were able to collapse the third row. We were able to put the pizza back on that and wedge it into place with the stroller and NHL’s car seat. Here is a visual:

The pizza finally arrived safely at my parent’s house. Then another drama unfolded thanks to the size of the box. JL had to figure out how to get the box into the kitchen through the door frames.

Once on the table (where it took up the entire space) we could finally look inside the book to view our Big Mama pizza. 

A "little" perspective

Lesson learned from this experience is that in the future we will leave Big Mama slice eating to the restaurant. We will not be taking home another one of these puppies any time soon.
