puzzle girl

Meg has taken a liking to assembling puzzles, just like her big sis. A perfect diversion from the TV and knocking-down her brother's Legos.

the boy is now 6.

Henry turned 6 last week... we celebrated with a Lego cake, a bowling party, lots of his friends and lots of Legos. He got the book "Paul Revere's Ride" from Uncle Chris and re-created it with, you guessed it, Legos. Greg was able to read it to him from memory... because his dad read it to him so often. Oh Hen, six is going to be a fun year.

And FYI, this is the 4th time I've blogged about Henry's birthday. Go ahead, check the records there on the right! ;-)

10 things that make winter more tolerable.

1. coffee
2. my van's seat warmer
3. sunglasses (for that God-awful glare when you drive)
4. Christmas (but that's over now...)
5. baking cookies or...anything!
6. snowy paws instead of muddy paws
7. Greg taking the kids outside to sled
8....

ahhhh yeah. I can't think of any more.
