Wanted Man


We are left to guess whether he is described as the one-handed bandit!

Painting Dinosaurs


Dinosaurs have become all-the-rage at our house lately.  We have movies, books, coloring books, etc....all related to dinosaurs.  Noah got to sit down the other week and paint his own dinosaurs.  Pictured here in action, he really focused on getting them how he wanted them and, all the while, Jacob was up in bed sawing logs.  We will get a picture of the final painted dinosaurs in a future post.

Skittles


Jacob's class did a sorting activity with skittles last week and the kids loved it.  They learned their colors, counting, the letter 'S', sharing, and, most importantly, just how wonderful that much sugar packed into a small container can really be!!!

Pretzels

Noah helped make soft pretzels on Saturday morning.  They were a big hit but perhaps a bit more than our collective attention span was expecting.

Bike Rides


For Noah, it won't be long and the training wheels should come off.  As for Jacob, he has made it a habit of charming everyone in the neighborhood while out on his bike.

Studious

Jacob, at times, can display a tremendous amount of focus and discipline on certain tasks.  The rest of the time.....he is all two year old boy.

Sliver

This titanic struggle took place over a little sliver in Noah's hand. It wasn't quiet and it wasn't solved in short order. For the record, the sliver is out of his hand.

Thank You From Noah

This one came out of left field.  Noah's class does some work writing in their journals every morning but we don't see them very often. After a trip to the grocery store last week one day when he was sick, Noah sat down on his own, without any prodding and created and presented this.  They are learning phonics and it shows.  Really great work for a four year old!  If you look closely, this is what he was trying to say:

"Thank you Dad for getting me a donut"

All four family members, with donuts in-hand and arms raised on absolute sugar-infused glee. Complete with a picture of the shopping cart that he is almost getting to big for at this point.
