Cold, Bumps and Slippery Socks

I know, two posts in one day-not usually a good thing. I know most some of you don't probably care too much about the Cooking Club reviews, but well someday I plan on putting the recipes together into a book complete with reviews and pictures so it is nice having all the info in one place. So if cooking isn't your thing, you can ignore the next post and just enjoy this one.

It has been cold here this last week. I took this picture around noon yesterday.I know, some of you would die for 49 right now, but this is SoCal people. They are saying there might even be flurries during the Oscars! With temperatures that low, I hope all the lady celebrities take the right precautions-otherwise it will be a bit obvious who is a tid bit nippy.

So with the cold- coats, shoes and socks have been a must this week. This truly is a hardship for Alex who would live in her crocks if I let her. So when occasions arise that require Alex to wear socks she isn't as experienced with socks as say someone from the Midwest.

So when she tries to "skate" around in her socks it doesn't always end well. Like yesterday, when she fell on her face and ended up with a nice big bruise right above her eye. Sadly no picture though as she is still summoning her inner diva and hides from the camera.

Those socks-they can be dangerous things.

  1. That is cold for you guys! Not -7 cold like it was here yesterday morning, but still cold!

    The boys and and I were chasing each other around the house on Monday and we all fell at least once after our feet slid out from under us.

  2. Probably good that you don't tell Alex about me.

    I live in the Midwest, and wear my Crocs, without socks, all winter.

    Last time I looked, I still had ten toes.

  4. How cute she is! And yes, I heard that there was snow predicted in California. Climate change much?

  5. Cute picture! Madeline wears socks every single day and STILL hasn't figured them out. She falls 15 times a day . . .

    Second "ouchie!" poor Alex. I love her inner diva though!

  7. 45* isn't bad...especially if there's no wind with it. But, that is kinda cold for SoCal. My little loves to skate around in his socks and I can't tell you how many times he's taken a spill and hit whatever (head, arm, leg, etc).

  10. For my kids, skating on socks is a hobby that they perfect every day while I am making dinner.

  13. 49! I would die for 49 right now! She totally got to check out what's posted on my blog right now and you will understand!

    Ha, inner diva! Love the tutu or skirt or tulle or whatever. Sorry, I'm more into trucks and trains and warm-up pants!

  15. She is so stinking cute! I am sorry that she fell and got hurt. And I love how you described the upcoming Oscars. Too funny!

  16. My kids don't operate well in socks either. I have to make sure Daisy's have rubber bottoms.
    I LOVE the Cooking club!!!
