The things we do

- Put up the camping tent in our basement and play in it for hours.
- Mix up batches of Oatcakes and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. For Daddy, of course.
- Make the tastiest batch of ice cream ever. No joke.
- Do a lot of art and watch the sticker stash dwindle.
- Play "pillows" (This means all couch pillows go on the floor and you take a big running leap to belly flop on them.)
- Go to Wiggleworms to sing and dance and jam with a very special teacher, and then...
- Listen to audio stories on the car ride home.
- Play hard at preschool.
- Go to baby book hour. 
- Plan social time with friends. Co-workers and advisors. Kids with kids. Moms with moms. Parents and kids with parents and kids. Birthday parties galore. And the bestest, most importantest one of all: date night.
- Cook and host a Soup Swap.
- Suit up and take a walk, even if it's only 15 minutes.
- Combat the frigid cold outside with a warm kitchen inside. Granola. Soup. Oatmeal. Hot tea.
- Wear fuzzy jammies that zip from toe to chin.
- Receive envelope of seed packets and start to dream about seedlings and spring...
