A dance party and colored ice.

There was a dance party in our living room this afternoon.  Everyone was invited.  

Giraffe.  Frogs.  Dogs. Octopus. The Cats. 

AND I guess Jett thinks you don't wear shirts to dance parties because once the music started his shirt came off.  

Hilarious.

 Clara came but just sat and stared at their craziness.

 Henry didn't even go to the party.  

He was too comfy on the bed.

We tried something new today.  

I put food coloring and water in an ice cube tray, covered them with saran wrap, stuck in sticks and put them in the freezer.  

 

Hours later they were ready.  

They LOVED it.  Once they started melting, we put them back in the freezer to use again.   

My Little Artist

Some boys love sports.  

Some boys love trains.  

My boy loves art.  

Drawing.

Painting.

Cutting.

Creating.

All day.  Every day.

We have creations on our walls, in frames, on the fridge and in scrapbooks.  

He amazes me more and more everyday with what he creates at the age of 4.  

Here are two things he created just this week:

1.  Fantastic Four Book

He made his own book (he broke our stapler so he hole punched and I helped tie the ribbons).  It was all about the characters of 

Fantastic 4.

 Seri helped write "flamse" and he was so mad that she spelled it wrong.  She was darn close.

Little does he know "stretch" is spelled wrong too.

This is the first time I have ever seen him draw a jet with his name. 

 2.  Outer space

He started this yesterday in my classroom.  He found the star stickers in the treasure box and that must have triggered the picture.  He is studying space at preschool and was telling me all about constellations.  If you look closely, there is a constellation at the top of the picture.  

I think this may be one of his best drawings yet.  It's definitely making it's way to the "art gallery" down our stairwell. 

 Can you find the sun?  Meteor?  Earth?  Rocket?  Planets? Constellation?  

I love that he has a passion.  

We go through ALOT of paper, tape, glue and markers.  I am constantly finding tape on my socks, pants, counters and floor.  Even though I can get frustrated with the mess he can make on the kitchen floor and our white table is stained with markers and paints, I wouldn't change anything.  I hope he continues to love being an artist.

  

Saturday

Jett woke up this morning at 5:15 this morning yelling "Mom, I'm ready to get dressed."  

He had a birthday party to go to today and was SUPER excited.  

The birthday party wasn't until 4:00.  Oh boy.

We ventured to my classroom so I could get somethings done. They couldn't wait to go.  

They are so overwhelmed with all the things they can do there...art tables, computers, toys, the big easel, music and even a gym.   

After the birthday party and baths, both kiddos were asleep by 7:15.  

It was a good day.

Laundry tomorrow.  

Blah.

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

We have SOOOOO much snow.  

It has been snowing for days.  

I can't remember the last time we had this much.  

I love every minute of it.  

It is beautiful.  

 We have had a big carrot in our fridge since Christmas waiting for our chance to make a snowman.  I have wanted to throw it away so many times but I am so glad I kept it.  

How cute is our snowman?

I hope he lasts for a long time.  

He looks so cute in our backyard. 

 Nothing better than hot chocolate and a cozy fire to warm up cold little fingers and toes

Snow Day

No School!

Let's go sledding!

Today we headed out in our winter wonderland to play in the snow with some of our favorite friends.

 We had a fun morning, but the cold was a little too much for this boy.  

Snow!

My boy has waited and waited and waited for snow.  It came today and he was THRILLED!
