Lunch time!

This is what we ate for lunch today, as part of our 'snow' themed activities.

What a cute idea!  It wasn't mine.  Cream cheese on soft toast, with raisins and carrot sticks for the buttons, eyes, arms and nose.  While making it, it occurred to me that mini bagel slices would have been more perfect, because then you wouldn't need to cut the bread into circles.  

  Speaking of snow, if you watched the news this weekend you're aware that the entire state of Kentucky had a sleet storm followed by a snow storm, resulting in some heavy power outages across the state.  The entire post was dark for about 36 hours, and in surrounding Radcliff, E-town and Louisville it's still pretty sketchy.  We braved it for two days and one night, mostly because we couldn't find a vacancy at a hotel from here to Cincinnati.  We spent one day bouncing around well-lit and heated spots in Louisville, and the next at the Newport Aquarium in Covington, KY (right across the river from Cincinnati).  What a great aquarium!  We had a blast.  Hannah was most impressed by the penguins and multitude of fish tanks, and was intent to walk like a duck the entire day.  Amelia walked wide-eyed between everything, waving hi and bye, and blowing kisses at everything that moved.  I'll be sure to post some pictures of our trip.  Sometime soon...
