February 2013

 More indoor activities include modeling at the local Children's Place.

 Chase is so into clothes and fashion.  He has to pick out his clothes everyday and often tries on 3 different shirts before he makes up his mind.

 Everytime there was a forecast of snow Jason would get so excited...Oh no, I would say...all we got was a few flakes of disappointment! Poor snowman!

 We did fondue this Valentine's Day. We all had fun stuffing our bellies, except for Chase...he did not want anything to do with the chocolate fondue...he would say "Oooo, yuckie! It's durty!"

 Kaleb and Jason took on a big project which took up a few days. A paper mache volcano.

Then painting...

 Then drying the paint b/c we were too excited to wait for it to dry on its own.

Voila! The finished product!

Then, the eruption with baking soda and vinegar. The boys were in awe!

 Then, there was lots of time to dress up...as superheros...

 Elmo.

 Monkey and Dragon.

 Dr. Giraffe.

 Dragon Jr.

Skeleton. Being pinned up in the house the boys liked to fight a lot, which drove me crazy...very happy spring is around the corner.

Winter Fun! January 2013

 This winter seems especially long.  We tried to spur on the summer by eating ice cream.

 Chase felt so much power deciding who to give the ice cream to...He chose me! Yeah!

 We went to the circus again this year and it never ceases to amaze all of us.  This year they had a lion in with the tiger act. So cool!

The circus held Chase's attention the whole time.

 This year Kaleb took swim lessons at the YMCA. It was good to get out of the house for a little while.

 We did lots of inside activities, like making ice cream play do.

 Superhero masks...

 Jason had a project of his own to do.  We gave each other a backslash for Christmas this year.  We were going to pay someone to put it in and then Jason ended up having a slow week at work and he decided to do it himself. He did a great job!

 We did lots of finger painting.

And got all tated up.

 Chase is being his goofy self and balancing a plate on his head at our favorite Mexican spot. This just came out of nowhere.

 and he practiced being super cute!

 Chase became a master at hide and seek.

 Kaleb got some cool projects for Christmas and did some dinosaur excavating.

Chase again, hiding in his dirty clothes hamper w/o his pants!
