Peter & the Wolf

Book and CD set.  Edmund picked out the characters as they and their instruments were introduced.

Happy Train Conductor

What better way to spend your Saturday night than watching Star Trek, eating ice cream, guacamole, and chips, and playing trains.

Pizza with Bacon

The bacon topping was a pleasant surprise for Edmund.  We were pleased with how much he ate.  We thought he might be growing out of dinner, but not on pizza night.

First Walk of the Year

Since it was in the sixties today we decided to walk around the neighborhood.  Edmund made the entire mile on his own two feet.  I made it too, but will be happy for a hot bath later.  Jonathan was happy not to have to carry either of us.

Big Helper

Edmund usually brings up the recycling bin on Thursdays.  Today the truck came late and he was quite distraught when I pushed the trash can up the drive and he had no bin to put away.  We stayed out to play because it is beautiful weather.  The truck finally came, so he was able to complete his only chore.

This could be spring...

Edmund is helping remove the snow from the backyard, one handful at a time.  The new wagon is going to cart it away, somewhere sunny I hope.

Putting away our puzzles at the end of the day

We always count the pieces even we put the puzzles away. Fortunately, they have fewer than 30 each. If it was one if those 1000 piece puzzles we would never get to bed.

Shoulders...Spin

One of Edmund's favorite games to play with Jonathan is to sit on his shoulders and be spun around.  This apparently is also one of Tigger's favorite things to do.

Veggies

Tonight we are having fresh veggies with dinner.  Edmund has put away better than a dozen carrots with dip and is now chowing down on the grape tomatoes.  The current count is six with more to follow.  We wanted him to eat better, but we wanted to spread it over more nights.

Build Tunnel

This is a new refrain we hear quite often now.  It is usually followed by, "OK, OK," or, "Crash!"

Boys and Technology

Glad I have my iPad so I am not left out. 

Shopping v. Swearing

Sometimes those coupons they send you have so much fine print that it is a wonder stores stay open.  But, we ended up with the pants we wanted and did not spend more than we planned.  Just go to Amazon if you want service.

Monkey Jammies

With Bananas

A well scrubbed smile

Bathtime is the only thing to do when Mother is tired, you can't watch movies, and Dad is coming home late. 

Cheese

Grilled

"Webrews 9"

When Dad is sick...

You should curl up under your own blanket and read your most exciting story to him. Preferably one that Mumma had read to you thrice already this day.

Frosting Mustache

Go Hawks... or that is what my Dad says anyway. I just say go cupcakes.

Snuggling with Mumma

Somehow I feel like I am more horizontal these days...   Maybe it's

the new chair?
