New toy

Eve opened an early Christmas present and it was a huge hit. They have gotten very creative with it in the past few days. Thanks Jim, Julie, and Molly!!!

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 :)

Eve got herself dressed the other day, including hat, coat, shoes, backpack, etc. Why? She was going to the meeting. What meeting? Watch…

After dropping Lex off this morning we came home and parked the car outside. Getting out she noticed the leaves on Alan’s car and got very happy about the car being “all leafted.” :)

Our afternoon


On the way to Parrish’s house the kids saw a dandelion and immediately stopped to blow on it.

Parrish and his dad had to run an errand before they could come out and play. Lex ran to the road to watch them leave. This seems to be his new favorite activity (obsession?), watching cars drive away and seeing if they turn right or left at the end of the road.

An apple for Eve.
