JUST A LITTLE WONKA

Here's a little math problem for you.

What do you get when you add "coming off of the holidays" jitters with cold, cold, cold, outside weather?

The answer: A couple little girls who are going a little stir crazy

Yes the post-Christmas slump has settled in, and although we really can't complain about our weather at all (yup, still no snow!), so far this new year does seem to be experimenting just a little with some really cold days.  Definitely too cold to be out, which leaves us not many options.  

The first few days of staying at home in jammies and playing with new Christmas toys were a dream come true! But it does get a little old, and the girls started to get a bit antsy for some entertainment.  So that's when I got the books out, and before we knew it, we were through Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!  Brinlee adored the book, so naturally her little cup of joy was overflowing when we did our "bring the book to life" night.  Our cast of characters this time:

Miss Brinlee Kay as Charlie Bucket

Madam McKenna as an Oompa Loompa

Mommy as Grandpa Joe

Both girls got a Wonka bar with a Golden Ticket invitation inside (a dream come true for our little Charlie).  We had pizza for dinner, and then stuffed ourselves sick with candy while we watched good old Gene Wilder as Mr Willy Wonka.  I wasn't sure how thrilled they would actually be with the movie, but it was a huge hit!

You know, I think these two get more cute, and more fun every day!

Sure love these sweet, smart, amazing little goof balls!
