What they've been up to (or rather into) in the cold.

Here's some pics of what the kids have been doing this past month or so.  It's been cold!

Having a conversation

Ben has been amazing us with how much he talks and what he says.  When you ask if we wants something he goes, "sure!" When we go to Costco he'll tell me, "maybe after we shop we can get lunch." Last night I was standing behind him and he told me he could see my reflection in the window in front of him.  Great,  but I wonder who taught him the word reflection?  He also has started gesturing a lot.  He'll put his hands out with palms up when he asks where something is.... Very much like mom!

Tommy loves to get into anything that's not his!  He loves to get up a chair and write with our pens on scrap paper that he finds.  I hope the city doesn't mind that our bill has scribbles on it.  He's also telling us stories all the time.  He tells me that he has a baby and two dogs.  He told Grandpa Howard, "I don't live here,  this is where I work."  o-kay.....

Home improvement with Daddy.  I've hated that red wall now for two years!

Organizing with Mommy

Painting,  see the snow out the window?

Playing in the snow,  hopefully for the last time. 

Chillin in a box. She got in there herself.

I'm sorry for the neighbors.  He does this everyday for at least ten minutes!

Having a bounce.

Sitting with the boys.  She was devastated when I moved her to her high chair to eat!

Waiting from a push from one brother or the other.
