Inspired by this Lois Ehlert book called Fish Eyes that I swiped off Emma's bookshelf

and the pattern for the turtles, I made my own set of fish today. Perhaps I'll create a little ecosystem.

The pictures in this counting book are great and give me lots more ideas if I feel so inclined. But my favorite fish are the little ones in this first picture, which were my initial inspiration.

And this is the view out my window this morning.

We are getting a huge snowstorm and there must be at least 12 inches of snow outside. Not only that, we were getting lightning and thunder during the storm. Strange. The girls were freaked out.
Dan's still out of town and we are all suffering from some severe cabin fever. I think I've got the worst case. Thankfully, Dan's home for the weekend before he's off again to Maryland for a job interview....

FYI: I'm computer-free tomorrow.
