February

Our very long and cold winter continues!  With lots of indoor time, the boys are getting more creative in their ways to entertain themselves.  

Declan loves putting on shoes.  He is quite amazing.  
He can even put on socks...my 6 year old still struggles doing that sometimes!


Although he is getting better at taking pictures, I still have to chase him around the house to get one!


In addition to shoes and socks, he loves to accessorize with neclaces and bracelets.  His superhero name today is Rubber band Boy.  He even went to the bus stop to pick up Easton like this because he screams when I try to take them off.  I do draw the line when I see his legs or arms are losing circulation!


Here is Xander, just being Xander.  I pull out a camera, he stops everything, smiles, and says cheese.  
So well-trained! 



The twins love to play at the sink.  Pictures like these still amaze me that I have twins.  



There's something about twins.  Here they are doing the exact same thing, with the same hands.  


I discovered the twins love to paint!  
It's a lot of work, but with smiles like these, we will be doing more painting now!  







Easton loves Cheez-its and he's especially proud of this double.


I move the chairs out of the kitchen to clean the floor.  For some reason, a chair in the wrong place is super fun.  Today they created a new movie watching station.


The twins still love cuddling.


Cache made us a present at preschool for Valentines Day.  
He was so proud of it that he insisted on opening our present too!



I couldn't quite capture the chaos, but I truly believe a bigger mess could not be made with this playdough!  


Here is Cache.  The angry bird, fighting ninja.  


A new game.  It involves throwing a ball up and down the stairs and entertains kids for hours. 


The twins love to build towers with our cans (although I think cans are a very unsafe thing to build with!)
  I am sure that one of these days I won't catch the tower in time and they will lose a foot.  
 Until then, they are all smiles!


Even putting on shoes can be a party.


Why eat Dairy Queen blizzards with one hand when you can use two?



From the moment he wakes to the moment he sleeps, Xander asks for the ipad.


I found this under the kitchen table compliments of Declan.  
It is an upside down booster seat filled with cereal.


I love that Xander drinks the milk out of his bowl after eating his cereal.


The human leash.


We have two cute girls come to our house and help play with the kids. 
 For $3 an hour (combined), this is the best use of money I can think of!



After coming inside, everyone gathers around the heater to warm up.



Cache's version of 'row row row your boat'.




Xander showing off his coloring skills...



Once in a while you get one of those 'brotherly' moments...



Declan is very proud of his stack of dominoes!


Need I explain?
