Every weekend, Nathan likes to get some organ practice in, to be prepared for our worship services on Sunday. Knowing it can be difficult to play with four limbs, he sometimes is able to enjoy some help.
Over the Christmas holidays, we received something like 30 chocolate letters. That means we've been sharing as a family a chocolate letter for dessert once or twice a week. This has resulted in Lincoln thinking that all letters are chocolate. Wherever he sees letters, he hollers, "Chocolate letters, mom!". Here he is, pointing out all the 'chocolate' letters in the Bible :o)
Now that all the snow drifts have melted, Lincoln can go outside without getting stuck. And how they are enjoying their park, spending a couple hours outside, playing together.
Oh, someone sees the pay loader!!
Under all that snow, a sandbox has been re-discovered! I just love, love, love how these two play together. Yes, they can fight, but for the most part, they are best of playmates. I am so thankful.
The other day, Lincoln decided to take a bite of the kitchen floor. Needless to say, it took a bite out of him, chipping his tooth! On his way to look like a hockey player.
Having fun with a few items from the dress-up box:
Apparently we aren't the only ones that love my homemade Toblerone Fudge. Any guesses as to who else has been helping themselves?!
Someone stopped napping daily at 4.5 years of age, but will still need one every once in awhile.
Here Lincoln is telling daddy off for hugging his mom. "MY mom!!". He is quite territorial when it comes to his mother.
Lincoln has learned to "tell a secret", well, the actions needed anyway :o)
And here we thought she'd be a piano player! But nope, drumming is her thing.
I have a love/hate relationship with our Lego. Can you guess what this picture makes me feel -- love or hate?
The other day, I hear from the family room, "Help me, mom!!". And this is how I found him. He was stuck. He couldn't get back up and was a little worried he was going to fall. Again, any guesses as to what the next picture would have looked like? :o)
Now that the new season has started for the business, that means a lot more activity going on outside. We usually can't see too much, but that pay loader is just tall enough to be seen over the hedges. And so, in order to get through the Bible Story without "Pay loader, Mom!!!!!" being yelled out, the curtains now need to be closed :o)
Have you ever tried to get 500 Q-tips back into the box so that they fit?! It's like trying to roll that tent back to fit into its sleeve: not too successful. Seeing as this isn't the first time he's dumped them, my dear boy should be an expert by now in getting all of them to fit.
"Hey kids! Is the steak ready yet?"
(yes, some ground rules (no pun intended :o) were set after I had fun taking pictures of them through the window. And no, the BBQ was not on.)
I had the privilege of teaching one day, enjoying a class of JK and SK students. That meant Nathan stayed with the kids for the day. No wonder the kids want me to teach again tomorrow so that daddy can stay with them......he took them to McDonald's!!
As you can tell by the above pictures, there is never a dull moment in our home, thanks to this mischievous monkey.....
....and his best friend, 'Zah', our favourite brown-eyed girl.
We are thankful for the memories we are making as a family. We praise our God in heaven for the many blessings He continues to shower on us each and everyday.
