School playstations and a touch of schoolwork







Everyday play

 Jennifer is still into dolls, but does take a break from motherhood more often, and enjoys pretending to be various people we know.

She also loves to do "crafts" her favorite being "scissoring.  It means chopping a piece of paper into  many many pieces.  Often the bigger pieces of them are handed out as bookmarks.  When I'm busy she'll take out glue too, and use copious amounts of it.  She does a fair bit of careful drawing too.

Matthew can spend his naptime hour all in careful constructing.
 Usually it's K'nex, but sometimes he'll try something new. 
 Other times he will appear to have done nothing other than watching out the window and thinking.

 Jennifer did some schoolwork, and was very proud of it.  She did have to modify it with a hole punch and turn it into a mask like Daniel has been doing lately.  She needed a hand with getting them in the right spots. ;)

 Book worm.

Watching others and planning his next project.


A rocket, almost ready for it's first launch!

Evelyn on the counter.  She now can push the stool up to it and get up herself!  :o

Daniel is 5!

 So, about a month ago, or rather more...

 Daniel turned 5!  He opted for having a friend over, but the friend had moved out of town, so he had to wait almost two weeks for his "party" but meantime, we had a party with the family.  Hats were important-Matthew made one, another one was from Nathan I believe.  Since Daniel loves dressing up, he was sure to wear a hat for a while during his special day.  He had a good time, and we enjoyed letting him know he is special to us!

Daddy's late

 We had a "fancy dinner" when Daddy was out.
 And another time, watched a movie. (Real rarity at our place!)  Evelyn loved the animals in it!

First snowfall of the year!
