We just had two very warm days. They could have passed for springtime. Here’s how we felt about them…

Thawing Out
The weather has warmed up a bit here. All of that snow is melting, and I am happy.
Yesterday, I took the dogs out to the dog park. If you’ve ever been to a dog park most places… well, our dog park is not like that. 30 acres of fields and woods. No fences. This picture about sums it up.
I came home to find my children up in a tree. I love this. Outside, climbing, together.
Toddlers are fast. Gus especially.
This is not a wonderful picture, but he’s been doing this a lot lately. Driving his cars on the dogs. Our dogs are so good with him.
Again, toddlers are fast. I wanted to snap a picture of him giving a hug to Lena, but I could barely take it before he was gone. When I asked him to hug her again, he gave me this face.
If you’re wondering why he really needs his face wiped off, I’ll tell you one more time: toddlers are fast.
Valentine’s Day
We didn’t make a big deal out of Valentine’s Day. Of course, the kids have a little party at school, which we got Valentine’s Day cards for. They wrote the names on all of their cards themselves, which was good, but did require a bit of hand holding.
I made this for Aaron for Valentine’s Day. I was inspired by some similar items I saw on Etsy like this and this, but it was a very last minute decision to make it, and I didn’t want to spend much money. I actually think it was good it was so last minute, because I ended up being able to figure it out with stuff we already had. Don’t study the map in too much detail, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.
Thank you, Cousins
My kids love their cousins, but unfortunately, since most of their cousins live halfway across the country, they don’t get to see them often.
We used to try to Skype with them, but it was always pretty chaotic. Now the kids are a bit older, and we tried again yesterday. I think they had fun, but it’s still chaotic.
I’m pretty sure that they wanted to jump through the screen and play with them. Not just talk to them!
Then, today, they got a box from their cousins! They had off of school today, so it was great timing for this box full of craft materials. They get so excited for things like tape.
This girl.
Gus-penders
Gus has a problem with his pants falling down. He’s just skinny, healthy, but skinny. I recently put an SOS out on Facebook and while I got a ton of great ideas (including a brand of pants that I’ve found actually fit him), everyone demanded that we try suspenders.
Next up on the mini-Jack Harness shopping list: long trench coat and vortex manipulator.
… that was a Doctor Who/Torchwood joke for those of who are scratching your heads.
I feel like this picture sums up parenting a 3yo. Underfoot.
