Webster Winter Weekend!

Morgan spent this past weekend at her Great-Grandparents' home in Webster Springs. It was such a relaxing weekend! Morgan kept her Great-Grandma June busy all weekend. They drew pictures and hung them all over the walls with stickers, cooked, did the dishes, and played a lot. And of course we ate--A LOT! Morgan had more snacks over the weekend than she normally does, but of course we don't go to Grandma June's often and Grandma likes to make sure Morgan eats :)

A purple tongue, evidence of the fifth popsicle Morgan had while we were there.

Morgan was totally enamoured with Grandpa Ralph's cane. She would kindly ask him if she could play with it (go manners!!) and then would run around with it pretending it was her pogo stick.
She loved this outfit and wanted a picture of herself in it :) She's not a camera ham or anything...

We worked on a project that Morgan had been begging me to do while we were in Webster Springs. Morgan is painting dowel rods so we could hot glue them together and make picture frames. Of course, she painted about 5 of the 32 we had to paint and then pooped out on me and I ended up having to paint most of the sticks myself.

Morgan did get to spend an afternoon outside for about an hour. She had a blast playing in the snow. She and Grandma June built a snowman and threw snowballs at each other.

Morgan also went sledding, which was an adventure because Mama forgot to pack the sled! First Daddy tried pulling her around on a trash bag...


Then they tried using the girls' old swimming pool from last summer....



Finally they pulled the drawer out of the bottom of the stand freezer and used that for a sled! It worked the best, although Morgan wiped out more than she made it all the way down the hill. But she had a blast, and that's all that matters.

She was very sad to leave on Sunday and is already looking forward to going back. I don't think we'll make it back before Easter, but hopefully we'll get back really soon.
Here is a video of Morgan's biggest wipe out and ensuing aftermath:
