Winter's cold and snow has finally hit us. Colin and Hobie both are ready to go out and play in the snow before breakfast.
Colin and mommy cleaning of the bench outside....because, what else do you do??
Probably the best 'bundling up' job of the winter so far.
Colin had 2 areas shoveled out for him to play in while daddy shoveled.....moving snow onto the newly shoveled paths was more entertaining though. He tractors were kept busy in his areas for a while still.
The neighbors came over to say hi to Colin and Hobie.
Mommy decided it was time for a vacation. This is the list. It was pretty straight forward but took weeks to find the right place. The plan right now is that we will be going to Mexico in April. That should be fun. Now we need to get passports in order.
We had a few outings and play dates this month. What better place to go when it's in the single digits than to get ice cream?
Some bumper bowling was tried with some friends. Some of them were
excited. Colin was very focused and serious about his bowling.
Aunt Ursula came over with Luke and Emmett to do some crafts. Then we went to the furniture store. It sounds odd but they have a water/light show, ice cream shop, Fuddruckers, jungle gym with harnesses, fire truck strollers...it was a busy place.
We have Colin's first report card from school. It told us what we thought. He really knows the academic stuff for preschool. He is very quiet and introverted. Not much surprise. He is excited about going and will come out happy. So preschool seems to be going well.
At home Colin loves to help out. He's doing a lot more stuff on his own. We'll see how long until he decides these things are not fun.
Helping build a shelf for his toys. Vacuuming the couch. Changing the sheets on his bed. What a big boy.
He also has been picking out his clothes for the day. This was one of his first which wouldn't be bad except that it's well below freezing outside and that's where he wants to go.
