Welcome to 2013! I am looking forward to this year. New adventures await, I am sure... but I also haven't posted in a while so I am going to backtrack and show you some of what we got up to at Christmas. Here we go:
The boys had a blast pushing each other around in their "snowmobiles"... I told them they can get a real one when they move out, they scare me (snowmobiles)!
I LOVE doing this activity, even if it is messy and I have to do laundry after. I filled several containers with warm soapy water and a little food colouring and they just do whatever. In this case, Daniel took off his pants (but not his diaper) and climbed right in. It was great.
This weird "play dough" is like a bunch of tiny balls that somehow stick together. It is sort of like playing with rice krispie squares. I actually find it easier to sculpt than playdough which is useful because I frequently get asked to make creatures more complicated than a snake. Also good to note: it is safe to eat.
And since it was a hit last year, we made gingerbread houses out of graham crackers. I told the boys they could each pick a bulk candy at the store for decorating, and despite my attempts to control the choices we ended up with DinoSours and Blue Whales. I did like the green dinosaur right on top of Jacob's house, it made me think of Godzilla.
And it wouldn't be Christmas without a great family shot in front of the tree. What?!? Jacob is hugging Daniel? Totally not planned, he just bearhugged him right when the camera went off. I love it.
And one of the best memories we made was having a New Years countdown with the boys after supper. I don't know why but they loved it so much we must have done it four or five times. This is Daniel jumping and cheering at the "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" part.
