the snow has melted a bit and christmas is over, and papa is home.  so it time for washing cars in freezing weather and playground fun!

karate chop!

zoe loves the winter...

but still hates wearing socks!  but we are somehow managing to get her to dress weather appropriate most of the time.  the school had a field trip to the ice rink, so zoe has been practicing at home.  it was her first time ever ice skating, and it has been reported that she did really well.  she absolutely loved it.  she really wants to go back to the rink, but none of us can skate, so we keep trying to distract her with other things.  bad parents!

 she made us a snow heart...

 uh, oh, look what glitter did to my winter gloves!  oops!  naughty dog.

winter came early...

what happened to fall, winter is already here! boo hoo.  but zoe was happy to see snow!

 

then we headed to the swimhall, but it was closed for kids today, so we finally tried uggla baddet in perstorp wasn´t bad, but zoe likes the bigger slide in tyringe better.

snow!

we picked the right winter to stay home.
as you can see on previous posts we have a bit of snow.
normally in this part of sweden the snow aint stayen. but right now we have almost half a meter of snow (about 2 feet, translated to those strange people who messure in that strange way) 2 months and counting...
zoe loves it and we try to go out playing almost every day.

zoe goes sledding

we usually seem to manage to get away every winter before the snow hits, but we didn´t this year. so zoe finally got to use the sled our neighbor dorthea gave us (it was full of mushrooms she picked in the forest, yum) last year. here she is going down the hill with pappa for the first time...
it was quite the day for photographs, even bonita was in the mood for posing, when thomas got a shot. i love having such a huge beatiful forest as a neighbor.

and the obligitory family shot...finally getting my fair share of them.
