Papa tried to teach card house construction, Viola is more into card house destruction.

 More snow today, Viola was so excited to go out and build a snow man and got on all of her special snow gear but alas, the snow was too dry and wouldn't stick in a ball, tears followed.  No good pictures there.
Then for an indoor activity Papa tried to show Viola how to build a house of cards using her new alphabet cards.  She really wanted to help but the motor skills just weren't ready for card construction. There was a lot of "Oops".
 It was however the best use for these alphabet cards which were sent to me by mistake.  I ordered some really nice vintage illustration ones and received these Paul Frank ones instead.  They say things like: The cozy molars are teeth on the T card.  How is that helpful for learning the letter T.  Any way the seller sent me the right ones and didn't ask for these back so now we build with them.
