Another snow day...another art project

Playing with the "Guys"

One of Andrew's favorite activities these days is playing with "the guys". He takes his playmobil men all over the house. They slide on the slide, take baths, read books, dive down the stairs.... On this particular day they were climbing on the bricks.

Mardi Gras has come early!

Last week I was cleaning out some boxes and Andrew spied some Mardi Gras beads Grandma Debbie gave us. You should have seen the sparkle in his eye when he got a hold of those!!!! He hasn't stopped playing with them since. He wears them, gives them a ride in his wagon and truck, pours them in and out of buckets, he's even tried dressing the dogs in them! Thankfully for the dogs he has not been successful in cornering them (yet)!

Look at me!

These are so much fun!

Megablocks Man

After a wild afternoon of running around and terrorizing the house, the dogs and me, we finally got Andrew to sit down and play for a few minutes with his new blocks. We were amazed when a few minutes turned into 30 and he was still at the same task--buiding a tower. Marc and I loved sitting back and watching him. He had such concentration he didn't let out a peep the whole time he was working. That never happens!!!

Stand and Climb

Our friend Suzy gave us a new toy the other day. I'm pretty sure these are called sit and spins, but Andrew insists that it is a stand and climb!

Fingerpainting

Andrew tried his hand at painting again the other day. As you can see by the picture he had a great time exploring the paint!

Let it snow...

They don't happen as often as they used to, but Andrew had another first this week. The first time palying in the snow. Click on the link & select "Let It Snow" to see pictures from our fun day outside! http://www.photodex.com/sharing/viewalbum.html?alb=136997

Florida

It's taken a while, but they are finally here. Here are a few of the hundreds of pictures we took in Florida. Enjoy!!!!

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

A budding artist

Being snowed in this week we have been looking for anything to keep us busy for a few minutes and to keep Andrew, well--quiet. I pulled out the crayons this week, and what was once Andrew's favorite snack--is finally Andrew's favorite pre-dinner activity. He loves to color!

A monster has been created...

Everyone in our house has been sick to some degree over the past week. For a couple of days Andrew was just miserable so we let him settle into his bean bag chair and watch a little Bob the Builder while snuggled up with his blanket. Sounds like a good idea right??

WRONG!!

A monster has been created. From the time we wake up to the time we go to bed all we here is "a Bah, a De De". For those of you that don't speak Andrew the translation would be: "A Bob on TV". All day and all night that's all we here. The minute he gets to the family room he drags his bean bag over in front of the TV, settles in and starts asking for "a de de, a de de", and watch out when he finds the remote. Then he thinks he really has power!!
