Sun protection
On the rare days the sun is out, it shines right in Dash's eyes while we sit at the kitchen table. Solution: use one of my precious Marimekko panels that I never want to cut up. Success!

Reasons why
This is one of the reasons I wanted children so very badly: so they would hide matchbox cars in my freezer and make me laugh.

the end of Dash's rainbow
What you see:
What Dash sees:
I have gotten pretty adept at dressing him while he holds a car in each hand. Getting the sleeves over can be a bit tough but we make it work.

Galosh
I take back what I said about Crocs being horrific. Little toddler Croc galoshes are pretty damn cute.

Between
Somewhere between taking off your day clothes and putting on pajamas, there are The Crazies.

Happy Snow Day
I've had a blog entry percolating for a week or so now, about how I have been working to turn my boys who are terrified of playing outside into little nature fiends. I had been doing pretty well, but let's just skip ahead to yesterday and the first of The Great Snowfall.
I don't really want to think about how we may get 15 inches of snow on Wednesday and have already been snowed in since Saturday afternoon. We have enough milk to make it to Thursday, and I am just going to attempt to listen to Charlie and channel my calm. It's not quite time for me to freak out and go all Little House On The Prairie We Are Out Of Food wringing my hands. We have enough food to last for a good long while.
So, to the snow! We carried the boys up to the road and watched one of the neighbor kids careening around on his 3-wheeler. Once he sped off down the dirt road to make louder and bumpier skid marks, we walked down the street and checked out the pretty trees. Then the boys took a try at walking in snow for the first time. Most of the pictures are of Charlie and Dash, since I was carrying Liam.
Perhaps tomorrow we will go out and play in some fresh powder!

Dash deciding that standing on the snow is going to be ok after all
confident enough to forge his own trail!
ok, enough with the standing in the snow thing. Carry me.
Liam had one hell of a good time
Perhaps tomorrow we will go out and play in some fresh powder!
