When we got back from Christmas, the window guys came out and put in all new windows!!
Wyatt finished his Kindergarten Hooked on Phonics! Yay Wyatt!
I did a lot of painting...with some little helpers.
Jim took off the mantel and one layer of brick to paint it white and lower the mantel so the TV would fit above it.
I finished this family room wall! Looking at it makes me happy. :) (There is now a white "B" in the upper left corner.)
Science experiments, goggles and all...
Mr. Ten Shirts made an appearance (followed by Mr. Eleven Shirts *Wyatt* a few days later)
Wyatt put the whole puzzle together!
One of Wyatt's first independent writing projects!
Wyatt got Snap Circuits and was super excited. Garrett showed him how to do things on it. It's handy to have an older brother who can read and has done this before!
The boys had fun making Keva block creations.
Happy Wade going out into the snow.
We started the process of organizing rooms so I could paint and decorate. Garrett's newly cleaned room!
Wyatt's clean room!
Wyatt made a sword and sheath.
So did Wade. Tough guys!
Painting on a cold day...
On a warmish day we made it up to the National Center for Atomospheric Research, and had a great time learning about weather!
The cloud machine was a big hit!
There was an interpretive hike with beautiful views. We got locked out of the building but worked together to figure out the way back in!
The lightning tube was pretty neat!
Valentine's Day was fun with a fire in the fireplace and some special treats.
We found these whack-a-packs at the Dollar Tree, and they were so fun. Little balloons that inflate when they are whacked.
Garrett made a "laptop" with pages to insert for different screens.
We made chocolate playdough using cocoa powder in the recipe. The boys played with it for a long time!
