I have some random pictures that I wanted to post. I had planned to do them as separate posts, but obviously that hasn’t happened! Here’s Sydney getting a bath. She looks so different with her hair slicked down. She loves when I put the wash cloth on her chest – it keeps her warm. She always smiles at me when I do. She loves her bath, which is good since she regularly smells like old milk from all her spitting up. (She also loves to eat and often over-eats. Thus the spitting up.)
Ben is our outdoorsman. He loves doing things outside. So it was no surprise when he wanted to go out and play in the snow one day (even though the snow was a couple of days old and it had become pretty stiff by then). I checked on him every so often and watched him making a great snow man. I honestly thought the snow was too icy.
Each time I checked on him, there were more snowmen in the yard. I took him some carrots for noses, but the snow was too hard to keep them in place. You can see here four large snowmen, and there are a couple more out of view. Eventually he started making small ones (about 1 foot tall). All in all there were around 15. He was out there for a while, but he had so much fun! I love my out-doors kid!
I debated whether I should post this, but…I wanted to. And I could use a good laugh today. The other day I was trying to clean up a little. We have a cedar chest/bench by our front door that the kids keep their winter/school gear on. I noticed that it was out from the wall a little too far, so I pushed on it to put it back into place, and it didn’t budge. I looked behind it and saw a small ball back there. I pulled the chest out a little so I could reach the ball. As I did so I noticed another small toy or two. So I pulled the bench all the way out to get anything else that had gotten trapped under there. Here’s what I found…
Yes, that is a piece of french toast. Don’t be too jealous. :)
