Is it spring yet?

These past few days we had the chance to enjoy some warm, sunny weather. So we tried to take advantage as best we could with trips to the playground and outdoor fun!

McDonald's picnic on the front stoop, chalk, and bubbles...

York in Winter

It's been way too long since I've posted. We've had lots of snow and football in the intervening month. Phin and Silas are getting infinitely bigger, and I'm struggling with the thought of sending Phin to kindergarten next year. Yikes! Phin loves his LEGOS more each day, it seems, and Silas is totally into dressing up. We have had many epic light saber battles as well.

Here are a few pictures from our visit to York to see Grandma Vivian and Grandpa Duane at the end of January.

Making a gingerbread house.

Some crazy dress-up with Grandma.

And lots of playing in the snow!

We built an awesome snow fort.

And Phin's first try at Jenga...

It was a super fun weekend... and since it's already March as I write this, it's already time to start planning Phin's birthday party!

Monsters, snow, and playdough

SNOW!

Silas playing with his playdoh movie snacks set.

Thanks, Uncle Denny and Aunt Karen!

Phin working on his

"No monsters allowed" sign.

It's now hanging on the door to the boys' room.

Caleb drew the monster.

Phin and LEGOS: a match made in heaven

Not sure what he's building here, but he's following the instructions

(he calls them "constructions") intently.

I think this is General Grievous's ship.

Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa Sawyer!

He built the droid factory from one of the Star Wars movies.

Random fun and snuggles

Cool cookies we made using Phin's new

Star Wars cookie cutter (and my first

attempt at Royal icing. The verdict? Royal icing doesn't

taste good enough to bother with.)

Phin dressed as Indiana Jones.

Watching TV: probably either

Diego or Backyardigans.

Phin as General Grievous.

We've had lots of epic light saber battles

with all Phin's new electronic lights and sounds

light sabers!
