Peek a boo- Jonah reading

Introduction of chalk AKA get clothes and hands dirty quickly

This is where I fail- I have no artistic ability whatsoever! I to this day draw stick people and a simple house that my 1st grade teacher showed me how. Good thing Jonah is too young to know the difference. I just felt good knowing he could identify what I drew--- simple pleasures for me. And of course great pleasure for him finding something new to do outside.

Silly boy!

bath time can never be long enough

Pile 'em on!

Hanging at Justine's house- having fun!

Finding stuff to do

We're really stretching our creativity in finding inside fun things to do. So this weekend - it was IKEA! The kids section is a free for all and is recently expanded- which equals more things for Jonah to play with! And it's free- except the tolls to get over there! Ahh-- happy boy- priceless! And one anxiously awaiting boy for it to be semi warm to go outside.

Winter Wonderland = Snow Day

Thanks Daddy for making me such a big snowman~ love Jonah!

Meet Jonah's new BF

Yep- it's ketchup! The boy hasn't really liked meat forever, but now it's gotten worse. He can wear crocs, be a tree hugger, save the whales, choose not to wear socks (cause he's always pulling them off), but not eating meat-- oh no! That isn't an option in this household. So we've added this new sugar induced dip called ketchup and yahoo- the boy eats meat! Hard for me to be critical since I use ranch dip for everything--- a real chip off the ole' block!
