In an attempt to get a picture for our Chinese New Year cards this year, I ended up taking tons of pics of the boys. I tried to do everything I could to get them to smile, especially Will.  It involved putting various puppets on my head then loudly sneezing “achoo” and the puppet would go…

Nathan attended a free preview class this morning for SpanishFUN, a preschool age program that teaches Spanish using fun songs, fingerplays, etc. Although he can count to ten and DEFINITELY knows what his favorite insect, a mariquita, is (thanks, Grammy!), I think the class will be good for him.  It’ll meet every Monday for the…

I was cleaning off the kitchen counters a moment ago when Nathan walked right up to me and said, “Mommy, I know what eh-stinked is.  It means dinosaurs aren’t around anymore.” To tell the truth, I wasn’t even really paying attention to him but when he began to walk off, and I re-ran what he’d…

Nate and I were trying to make good use of the naptime that Will was enjoying so that we could go outside and play some.  We ended up with a skinny snow-dude and snow all over our backs and butts from the series of snowball fights that we had.  It was so much fun.   Then…

Will has recently become so interested in climbing into bed with Nathan in his fancy race car bed. I am sure it’s only a matter of time before they start having slumber parties in N8’s room.  I managed to snap a few photos the other day of them together.  They were having such a good…

WARNING: this post qualifies for TMI status (unless you’re a mommy!) This afternoon after feeding Will some organic carrots for lunch and while Nathan was still at the table finishing the Gala apple that HE was so proud to pick out the other day at Target, I headed up to Will’s room to change his diaper. …

Today was Nathan’s first day at his sports skills class at The Little Gym and he had a ball.  Janelle’s son, Darren, is also in the class and we like him….even though he is a K-Stater. So, what you need to know is that Nathan has been looking forward to this first day of class FOREVER!  I…

Okay well it was mostly ice sledding.  Either way we had so much fun. More about the day later. In the meantime, some pics to enjoy.

Nathan and I had fun making some butter cookies today while Will was taking a short nap.  As we were transferring them to the cooling rack, I got this wild idea to spread some Nutella between two cookies and Nathan was all for that! So, after a light dusting of powdered sugar, here’s what ensued.

Nathan has always been into the I Spy series books but lately he’s picked up a few really intense ones from the library.  We spend what seems like hours upon hours looking for a silly seashell or a small piece of chalk on two large pages of busy scenery. It’s so great to see his reaction…
