M just loves D's Candy Land King Candy game. He is so good at putting the shapes where they belong. It's fun because D and M will play this game together by themselves now. And M loves just playing with the shapes on his own. We noticed he seemed to do real well with the shapes and we gave him a shape puzzle to do--he did the whole thing on his own! Good job M.
Both kids have really been into puzzles lately.
It was Steve's birthday on Thursday, but he surprised me with a birthday party to celebrate my birthday. It was so great to see everyone there. Thanks for the nice surprise, honey!
M tries to fit into every car or vehicle he owns and "ride" in it. He actually kind of fits on this one because it's bigger, but even tries to drive his little matchbox cars. My silly, funny boy!
D's dance recital was Saturday afternoon. She and her class performed as Raggedy Anns and Andys to the song "Side by Side". It went much better than I thought it would. Her group did all of the moves, just not at the right time or in the right order, but hey, I give anyone, especially a three year old, credit for going on a big stage with bright lights to perform in front of a large crowd. The pictures are dark because they didn't allow flash photography.
Sunday after church, we went to see the snow sculptures for the St. Paul Winter Carnival at the State Fair grounds. They were really amazing--too bad some of them were damaged from the rain earlier this week.
Happy to be outside, even though it is C-O-L-D!
Going through the snow tunnel slide.
We went sliding down Snow Mountain. The kids had an absolute blast, and so did Steve and I watching them.
After our all-day snowfall on Monday, we went sledding in the backyard. D loved going down the hill, while M was content watching us. He preferred going down the playset slide.
D's first time making snow angels. At first she was mad that I made her lie down in the snow, but when she saw that she had made an angel, she made a whole legion of them in our side yard.
