Just Hanging Around

Although we have lots of activities planned this winter, some days are just too cold to go out, or we are just too tired! On those days, we just hang out at home and relax and have fun there.

The other day, I gave the boys some Cheerios and then put them up for their morning nap. When I came back down, this is what I found.

She had gathered her little friends (all 12 that she travels around the house with) in their basket that she uses to carry them, and plopped herself on the couch. She also found the Cheerios on the coffee table and set herself up with a little snack. Not a bad way to start the day!

Here's Ben doing two of his favorite things- standing up and eating.


Jack doing his patented army crawl. Jen calls him Lowly Worm (from the Richard Scarry books).


Brian and Christin came over on Monday night to talk about wedding plans (weddings and plans, two of MY favorite things), and the brought Emmett. Mairead thought his crate was a great place to play. She got in and started yelling, "It's a airplane!" and going, "Mmmmm.... vrommm..." until Brian picked up the crate and 'flew' the 'airplane' around a bit. She is a character, that's for sure!
