Cold days

Winter, we love winter, but we also love snow. Its been so cold and the boys keep running to the window in the morning hoping for snow, but its just not happening. 

So we find other things to occupy their time.

But first, these photos of Zander, he LOVES books and every night at bedtime he requests a flash light so he can read in the dark. Regular occasions bring this image when I go in to check on him like I do every night. He is sleeping, his light still on and his book still propped up one way or another. This night it was impressively held up by his arm.

A bit of "computer" time. They do such an awesome job sharing. ( Christmas is coming and a little elf told me there will soon be 2 kid computers in this house)

Just cuteness

Race track. To you this looks like 3 boys delightfully playing with their cars on some race track. The truth is this is 3 boys who dont want to share and have each set up their own track and refuse to let the others play on their own. 

Zander trying to play Chutes and Ladders with Syler. Syler doesnt really get it but Zander tries really hard to be patient with him and explains over and over the rules. 

Playing outside in the ice, not snow but they had fun anyway.
They really enjoyed discovering the different qualities of ice.

Frosty leaf

"Ice puddles"

Our blueberry plants, so pretty with frost.

Staying warm

They love pushing things around outside. We have a pretty good collection of outside toys to push.

Loving the sun with the cold! Perfect. We still want some snow though!
