Took our monkeys to the Conservatory today for some plant exploration. We three had a pretty great time. ..their fave was definitely the kids' hands-on area. This cute boy's least fave was the cactus plants...he refused to stand close to one for a picture. Silly guy.
There aren't many people who wake up with this kind of hair... my son is one of them and he eats breakfast with it like this. He has absolutely no idea how awesome he is.
Big boy is a little sick... his nose wouldn't stop running. It's also clogged. So he was annoyed when he couldn't blow it and stop it from running so we made a nose plug. He's happy and showing his silliest pose for a picture.
Oak, Davey and their neighbor buddy Eli are posing with one very superbly sculpted snowman. The boys decorated him yes... but this big Momma rolled, formed and lifted each heavy snowy ball all by myself. It's the first time I found snow enjoyable since Dave took me snow skiing over a year ago. Snow ain't my thing. But I'm pretty proud that my boys love seeing a respectable snowman sitting in their front yard.
Yes little buddy, that's the official face of January. It plain sucks up here this time of year. It's ok to cry and get pissed that your fingers are numb, and snow is blowing in your face stinging your eyelids, leaving your nose frozen and simultaneously dripping, and chapping your cheeks and lips. So let it out my poor cold little guy...I assure you warm weather will come back. In four or five months you'll be out here barefoot and chasing fireflies. The trees will bloom again!
Poor son. My oldest inherited his momma's indecisiveness. He's trying to choose which Superhero fabric he wants to hang in his room. "I just like all of them. I can't decide" he says perplexed. It took about 15 to 20 min but we finally found his very favorite one (the one on the far right).
This was us tonight. They both leaned their little heads in and laid on my shoulders while I read. And my heart was full and so grateful.
It's one of the first significant snows of the season. The boys were excited and they wanted to catch snowflakes in their shovels.
Big bro dressed up little bro and attached all the important fire fighting accessories (minus the camera Oaks is holding). They're gonna spread the word: don't play with matches kiddies.
He spotted it snowing before I did. He got excited and yelled "Snow! It's snowing!" He's wearing brother's scooter helmet for fun because brother is at school and can't complain about it. :)
