January Randomness

Well, January started off with a bit of surprise when Westyn came to us with marker all over his hands. I couldn't figure out where he had gotten it. When we asked him, he lead us to Garytt's bed where he had stashed the permanent marker. I dreaded asking him to show us where he had colored with the marker, as I could imagine walls and carpet all colored black. As it turned out, he crawled back under Garytt's bed and pointed at his Michelangelo style creation. We did have a discussion about not drawing on furniture but, honestly, I was relieved that was the extent of the damage!


The boys still enjoy playing with basic blocks to make tower and pyramids.


They also very much enjoy playing in the snow.


Westyn liked playing in the snow so much that we found him a few times putting on his own hat and gloves by the door.


Even when the weather warmed up enough to melt most of the snow, the boys were outside playing in the last little bit of snow.


They love reading and practicing in their workbooks.


They are always getting into our dress-up clothes. I especially like Captain America-Tweedle Dum.


Recently, Westyn has been crawling into bed with Garytt after prayers. I think he is ready to transition to a big boy bed...too bad mom and dad aren't ready for him to have that much freedom.


Garytt was invited to his first school friend birthday party. It was a Doc McStuffins party. So, all the kids were told to bring their favorite toy to get a check-up. Garytt brought Woody and he did a great job examining Woody!


Westyn and Garytt both enjoy the new art easel that Westyn received for his birthday.


Garytt has been practicing singing his ABC's.


Bath time is also more colorful since Westyn's party since he received tablets that change the color of the bath water and bath crayons!


The boys recently re-discovered this little traffic cone that Justin got for free a while back. They use it as a megaphone to yell at each other but they think it is hilarious.


This is one of my favorite photos from this month. While were were waiting for our food at dinner one evening, we were distracting the boys by working on their counting. Westyn was using Justin's hand and he clearly says, "One, two, three, Aggies!" That's right, he knows what the Aggie Ring is! WHOOP!
