Early morning excitement

Kid collage

We had an exciting morning. Our basement project began today with an insulation delivery on a big flatbed truck. Boy were we excited! It was cold (40°F !) so Lex decided he needed to get “the hat that keeps my chin and cheeks warm.” This is a hat that I bought a few weeks ago from a lady selling off her kid clothes. I didn’t think for a minute that he would ever wear it, but he ran right in and put it on, and brought a hat for Eve. A few minutes later they decided they needed gloves. I guess the cold weather has officially arrived. It was fun watching them unload the truck, but more fun watching the kids play so happily on the porch. (I can email individual pics if anyone wants them.)

The other day Lex said, “Mommy, look what I can do!” and he spelled his name with his body. I was so happy. I asked where he learned that and he couldn’t tell me. He said not school, not daycare, he just made it up. :) Such a smart boy! He has been very camera happy (or at least cooperative!) lately and that makes me even happier!

Then Eve wanted to play too and they tried to make a W. Eve needs a little work on her straight arms, but the kids had a blast anyway :)
