Pretending - 3/15/13

Harrison and Declan LOVE to take the cushions off the furniture and build things to pretend. According to Harrison, this creation is a truck that they were taking a ride in...pretty creative!

Snow Bunny - 3/14/13

Look where I found 'B' the other day! I guess Declan thought Bunny needed to try on a pair of snow boots. The day before he ended up wrapped up in a blanket inside the dirty laundry basket. 

Soaking up the Sun - 3/14/13

From snow to sand in just a few days! What a beautiful day we had today. Harrison and Declan played at the school playground for an hour after school ended and then we went to the 'beach' for a picnic and played in the sand all afternoon. We even made a really neat sand castle before it got trampled!

Declan worked on eating his cheese quesadilla the entire time we were playing in the sand...and he was still trying to finish it after our castle was done...must have been yummy!

Sledding! - 3/9/13

 It snowed all day yesterday! Kevin had picked up a new sled a few days ago, so it was a perfect opportunity to try it out with Harrison and Declan's first sledding adventure down the big hill next to the school by our house. They didn't last long, but had fun!

Preschool Buddies - 3/7/13

This is Harrison with his friends, Grayson and Lydia, at school. Grayson's mom took the picture after they came in from recess at the end of the morning. Apparently, they were tired from running around outside!

Biscuit Bakers - 3/3/13

Harrison and Declan are great little biscuit bakers! And, since we were just planning to hang out at home this morning, we decided to make some sweet-potato biscuits for breakfast. Not many biscuits survived with these two at the table!

Mammoths and Mastodons - 3/2/13

 We spent today at the Denver Nature and Science Museum, so Harrison could attend a day camp for preschoolers. The camp had an Ice Age theme to go along with the museum's current exhibit, "Mammoths and Mastodons: Titans of the Ice Age". During camp, he got to visit the special exhibit, go on a 'dig', make an Ice Age coloring book, create some artwork, and learn a lot about the Ice Age. He had lots of fun! This is him on his way into camp with his sack lunch.

 Waiting to check-in for a fun adventure!

 Harrison was immediately absorbed in the coloring activity they had ready to go while waiting for all the kids to arrive. He didn't even hear me trying to say good-bye to him...from 12 inches away...multiple times!

 So, while Harrison was enjoying his day camp, Declan and I spent the day exploring the museum together. First, we checked out the Ice Age exhibit ourselves. Check-out how tiny Declan looks next to this mammoth!

 There were a lot of neat things for kids in the exhibit. Declan really liked this spot where you could pull the lever and 'grow' a mammoth tusk. He also got a cute mammoth hat that he liked!

Ready to go home, with a new friend (Snowy)...and lots of new knowledge.
