Mr. Potato Head

Abigail and Noah....every once in a while I catch them playing together so nicely. And during this rare moment the other day I was actually quick enough to get some great pictures of it.

Happy Birthday Abigail

Science with Daddy

These pictures are from a couple of weekends ago. I had tried to upload a video of this project but it was a little too long. So here are the pics instead. Gabriel earned a Day with Daddy and while they were out Daddy bought him this invention kit. So the next day they broke it out and put together one of the inventions, an electromagnetic motor. I am telling you Daddy was in his element explaining all this science stuff to the boys. And the boys just love science, especially Gabriel, so they were hanging on his every word.

Our New Winter Hats

Boy yesterday was just one of those yucky days where nothing seems to go right. I had just gotten home and crashed on the couch just ready for bedtime to arrive, and Jason comes in the kitchen and says, "hey honey were you expecting something you have a package" I knew right away what it was. And talk about perfect timing, I was really in need of a pick me up.

My friend Neva hand made knit hats for the kids and she even made one for mommy too. They are so nice! And the boys were absolutely thrilled with hat of their favorite colors red and blue. Thank you so much Neva!! We love them and have already gotten good use out of them. Last night was cold and wet and we were our hats out to dinner! Just in time for this chilly season in Whidbey.

Order up!

I just love having Noah at home by himself sometimes. He and Gabriel play together really well, but Noah tends to be a follower of his Big brother. But when he is by himself he is soooo creative. Last week I found him making dinner for his stuffed animals. He had to get them situated just right as they were a little short for the table, but he figured it out. And then he got a book from the shelf so that he could "follow a recipe" and followed directions carefully while he put together a hearty banquet for his three friends.

Nerf Fort

Well after two weekends of cleaning out the office we had a bunch of boxes in the garage. So daddy decided to build the boys a fort to play Nerf Battle with. They saved up there bonus bucks(the money they get for extra chores) a couple of weeks ago and bought nerf guns. Boy what a great way to get them outside this weekend, they spent hours battling. And were VERY sad on monday when the recycling truck came and the boxes had to go.
