A normal day

First Snow Day

Today was the boy's first snow day of the New Year! They were all very anxious to get outside. The younger boys stayed outside for less than a half hour, but the older boys lasted a good hour+ outside. They made snowmen and igloos and threw snowballs. Gavin, I think was more anxious for what follows snow play- hot cocoa! It was a fun day overall, but I think we're good with snow for awhile now Mother Nature;)

Puzzle Jumping

Ethan and Gavin have really been enjoying puzzles lately. They always liked them, but just recently started doing more complicated ones. Today we did a pirate one together, though they did most of the work themselves. After completing the puzzle, they immediately started doing flying jumps over the puzzle. Gavin has quite the jump and even lands well.

Primary Day

Spring in January

This weekend we lucked out with some beautiful spring-like weather. We ventured out to Kid's Kove to let the boys burn some energy and boy did they. They love Kid's Kove and could spend hours there. We took a walk down the trails too and saw some ice on the water and beautiful rushing water. It was fun afternoon and certainly wore out some active little boys.

Luke and Uno

Jack received the Uno card game for Christmas after telling us that he played it in school all the time. I was excited because it was always one of my favorite games. Luke was quick to pick up on learning it and now beats all of us quite often. His favorite win is saving all his wild cards for the very end!

Turkeys

These wild turkeys have been visiting our yard since just after Thanksgiving. The boys get so excited when they see them. This morning they were found on our sidewalk, rock wall, and walking through the swing set. Later in the afternoon they showed up again in the front yard and around the neighborhood. Todd officially named them Henrietta and Josephine.
