Once there was a snowman

Last Sunday, Meg and I built a snowman. She had been talking about it for weeks and waiting for the snow to come. When it finally did she ran around the house saying, "Santa's coming, santa's coming." Then she ran into her room and put on her "christmas dress". It is so much more exciting this year because she is so excited about everything. She walks around the house singing christmas carols. The latest is, "Frosty the snowman, was a charlie in the soul." It's cute to hear what she thinks she hears.

Here is the before pictures. Half the fun was getting Meg all bundled up. She is very into matching her clothes and the colors in her clothes. This was a difficult thing for her. She said she was wearing a lot of crazy colors.

Here is the finished product. Meg wasn't a ton of help. She loved to put in the face and hat. Everyday it melted a little more. She was so sad to see it go, but the song "Once there was a snowman" made it a little more enjoyable.

This was the after party. Meg had her first ever cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows. Yum!

Sayings from Meg

Meg told me that when she grew up to be a mommy she wanted to get married to daddy. I told her that was a great idea. She looked very thoughtful for a few seconds and then said, "But if I marry Daddy, where will you and Adin live?"
Brian made us smoothies last Sunday. Meg was sitting on the counter eating hers. Brian was chatting with her. Meg took a big swallow and said "Mmmmm, this is the life"
As we started a trip of errands, Meg asked how many stores we were going to. I proceeded to tell her the list. After I was done, she said, "Mommy, you talk a lot." When she saw the look of shock on my face she said, "It's okay, I talk a lot too because we are girls." Even more shocked, I asked her who told her that girls talk a lot. She said that she just knows that. I talked to Brian later and he said he never told her that either.
While learning the song I am a Child of God she would always sing "and he has sent me ears"
After learning the song I am a Child of God she turned to Brian and sang "I am a child of Brian"
I can't throw this in the garbage because my legs are so tired.
I was blowing up balloons for Adin and Meg wanted to help. She would blow with all her might and nothing would happen. Finally she handed it to me and said, "Mom, can you give me a hand with this." She talks like she is so much bigger than 3.
Brian asked Meg how her cough was, and she said "It's not going so well." Correct grammer and everything. That is thanks to Brian.
In response to my very detailed explanation of the events of Adin's birthday and how the day would go, Meg said "Hmmm, that's interesting." I don't know where she gets these sayings.
"Hurry, mommy, come look in the potty. I had a snake poopy." (This was all made up in her mind, Brian and I did nothing to provoke this. I was shocked.)
