I decided that we would make these for Eden's Sunday school class. I haven't assembled them yet (I'll post pictures when I do) but I did make the clothespins. They were incredibly easy to make and have made a cute little addition to their art wall. All you need to do is put some Mod Podge on a clothespin, cover it with a piece of scrap paper and cover with more Mod Podge. Viola! I think for the vday cards I'm going to put a magnet backing on the clothespins so that the kids can hang drawings on the fridge.

Crafty Clothespins
Since we've been snowed in the last few days I've been looking for things to keep me busy. I came across a cute idea in a friend's blog:http://thislittleproject.blogspot.com/ . She has some really neat ideas in it. One was for this cute little valentine:http://brownpaper--packages.blogspot.com/2010/01/clothespin-valentines.html

"SNOWMAGEDDON!!"
Our first winter in DC has turned out to be a pretty snowy one. Obama coined the term "Snowmageddon" and I think it fits nicely with the pictures.


The tree next to our place has completely tipped over and is touching the ground. That's what most of the trees in our complex looks like. I hope that they recover.

Here's Bela having a great time in the snow. It's pretty hard for him to manuver around in it. You should see him try to go to the bathroom.

The parking lot. Nobody's going anywhere today. They say that they won't get to secondary roads until tomorrow at the earliest.

Everyone was out trying to shovel the snow out away from their cars. I heard a lot of explatives in Spanish flying around (hey- I took Spanish in high school- I know...) After people got their car out they would leave chairs and shovels and things (someone even used an extra car door propped us by a broom handle) to hold their space so that no one would take it.
Here's Andrew throwing chunks of snow out from our car so he can get out tomorrow and go to work.
Our car wasn't blocked in too badly.

Christmas 2009
She got it for a great price-- free at a toy swap.
The Christmas morning mess
On Christmas Eve we told Eden Santa couldn't come unless she went to bed and stayed there. She took it quite seriously; the next morning it was hard to convince her that she could go downstairs. But she finally relented and was pleased to find a stocking full of Sleeping Beauty figurines--especially Malifacent.

White House Christmas
There's only one place in the world with this view and last week we saw it for ourselves: The White House. A sister of a friend of ours who works there took us on a Christmas White House Tour. Of course, it was incredibly beautiful with all of the Christmas trees up and the decorations out.
