A Cow-Duck

Admit it, you are curious what a cow-duck is. Or perhaps you are frightened to find out. Either way, there is nothing to worry about. A cow-duck is a creation made my my little guy. A little over a year ago JSL received the Leap Frog Fridge Farm Magnetic Animal Set.

At first JSL just liked to look at it on the refridgerator. Then he thought it was neat to take the magnets on and off and run around the house with them. Recently, he finally figured out how to get the toy to make music. He now can make new animals and listen to funny songs.

The little guy will often just stand there for long periods of time playing with toy. He sings and dances to the original tunes that the toy plays. The other day I decided to capture him quietly singing along. Here he is:

As you can see it is very interactive and he enjoys it a lot. It will keep him busy in the kitchen while JL or I are working in there. Of course there is a small down side. After listening to the same song a dozen or more time in a row, it does get on the parental nerves a tad. Now if only we could get JSL to make something beside the cow-duck to change up the song for a little while.

If they come, it will snow

Several weeks ago my brother, sister-in-law and niece were supposed to head here for an early Chanukah celebration. The weather had different plans, so they never made it here. That was the weekend that we had 18 inches of snow, went to the ER via ambulance, and had the party at our synagogue canceled.

Friday night everyone  made it into town safely before what was supposed to be a small snow storm on Saturday. Yesterday morning, we packed up the boys and our presents or Cousin S and brought them over to Nana and Papa’s house. The kids immediately started playing and had a wonderful time. Of course, the adults were planning strategies to get a photo of the three kids together. This has become an on going joke with us. The blooper photos are often more interesting than the so called "good’ photo that makes it from the group shoot.

Here is one of the three kids that was not too bad.

Cousins on the couch

Everyone loved the David’s Cookies prize that I won. A lot of the ones on top of the container were gone long before dinner time. I was a good girl and snacked on tomatoes, a few pretzels, and hummus. I was saving my points for later in the day.

We watched to see if/when the snow would finally show up. Just as we sat down to eat dinner the snow started to come down. We ate dinner, and then quickly had some cookies and brownies and packed up the boys. By the time we went outside there was probably 1-2 inches out, but the roads were really slick. This morning there was probably 6-8 inches outside of our house. Thanks to this we opted to keep NHL home from Hebrew School. It is not worth the risk of going there for the few hours in this weather. JL just got my car out from under all of the snow and we are going back to Nana and Papa’s house. My parents live very close to us, so it should be doable.
