Winter has come with full force and is taking my sweet daughter by surprise. When it is time to go outside, Joel and I bundle up Miss Ainsley with about 50 pounds worth of blankets, a hat, onesie-pants-sweatshirt ensemble, more blankets, and a sleeping bag-like sack that zips around her carseat. The only thing uncovered is a 1 by 1 inch area around her eyes. Even still, the moment we hit the frigid temperature, Ainsley's eyes narrow and her scowl gets vicious. She looks up at me as if I am a winter monster determined to ruin her snuggly state. It's really quite heart wrenching.
Today the lady and I are going to brave the frosty air and enjoy our favorite outing- a stroll around Target. Yes, my daughter and I are those kind of girls- bargain hunters, if you will. We thoroughly enjoy walking aimlessly through the aisles, trolling for deals. After Target escapades, I fully intend to come home and bake a respectable batch of Christmas cookies while the little Miss. settles down for a wee nap.
Ahh, the pleasures of winter.
