Happy Valentine's Day


Jonah traded Valentine's with all his friends at preschool yesterday. Ben was quite interested in Jonah candy haul. When I asked Jonah if he would be willing to share with his brother he said, "Sure" and took the half chewed tootsie roll out of his mouth and handed it to Ben....not exactly what I had in mind!


And I suppose something must be said about Ben's "Homeboy" look. Honestly, I could not (and more importantly WOULD NOT) stage something like this! I did dress him in the shirt and jacket in the morning. He asked me to unzip it later in the day and then insisted on wearing his hat indoors (this has been the case for about a week; he even wears the hat for naps). The off the shoulders look and glance of indifference...all Ben's ! :-)

Bubble Bath

After a 9 month break we finally bought a new bottle of Mr. Bubbles. Jonah was in heaven.



Ben...not so much!




He lasted a grand total of 90 seconds in the tub...and was shrieking and crying about the bubbles on his body the entire time. I finally took him out and he was content to sit in my lap, wrapped in a towel, watching his brother...bubble free.

Nice 'do/Nice Shiner!

OUCH!

Jonah had a collision with one of his friends just as I was picking him up from daycare the other day. According to him, his black eye has been getting "cooler" every day!

Outdoors at last!

We had a beautiful light snowfall Saturday morning and with the warmer temperatures (mid 20's!) we were able to head out and enjoy it in the afternoon. Jonah's new passion is shoveling snow; perhaps we'll turn him loose on the sidewalk today! Although the expression on Ben's face tells a different story in the picture below...he loves sledding!
