Chocolate Touch

Things were eerily quiet in the kitchen. Somehow, both kids were on a tall chair licking out a bowl that I had used to melt chocolate in. What a mess! But what fun!

School with Mom

Ollie got to spend the afternoon with me at school while I did grade cards. He kept himself busy with puzzles and drawing. He loves looking at all the big kid stuff.

St. Patrick's Day 2013

Every year we try to catch a leprechaun and every year he escapes before we can get gold out of him.  We have tried all kinds of tricks including fake gold, signs that say "don't get on this hat", and shiny necklaces.  Fortunately for Ollie, he always leaves us a present to show he is a good sport.  This year he left Ollie some jelly rocks and a wind up robot.  Next year, leprechaun, you are OURS!!!

Dress Up

 We had a fun spring break day just playing dress up with old Halloween costumes and some of Daddy's toys.  Penny loves to wear anything different and Ollie loves to be Darth Vader. 

Snow Days!

This was the first 2 snow days.  We had about 10 inches of powder snow.  It was cold and not much fun to play in. 

 This was the super sticky snow from this week that brought another 2 snow days and about a foot of snow.  It was a beautiful winter wonderland, and we didn't lose power.  Nothing but fun!

 Super tall snow man!  He fell over after just a day, but we have a bet about when he is going to melt.  Ollie says March 1st (Sorry, O, you are going to lose).   Wes says mid-March and I say the end.  It will be awhile.

 We painted our castle with snow paint (food coloring in a squirt bottle).  It turned out pink but fabulous!  Lo also spent the day with us and played in the snow!  Penny loves Lolo - Lo is her new favorite word.   

Super Ollie

 Ollie created this costume himself.

Here we tried to perform some special effects that they use in Ollie's favorite show - the 1960/70's live action Batman.  As you can see, Super Ollie is climbing a rope up the side of a wall, right?

Spinosaurus

Ollie is an artist.  Here is his rendition of a spinosaurus - his favorite type of dinosaur.
