Magnets and Marbles

Lilly Grace plays so differently than her brother. She will sit and "sort" and put objects into containers WAY longer than Owen ever did and much more gently/intently. Girls and boys are sooo different!

COWBOY BOOTS!

I know these are bad quality, but I still think they are cute. Papa picked up these cowboy boots at an auction and dropped them off on his way home. Owen was so excited about his new boots that once he had them on he wanted to get out his cowboy hat and go ride his horse. He now wears his boots pretty much everywhere!

Loving the mild winter

We've been blessed with being able to go out for walks several times in the past couple weeks! The kids absolutely love it! And so do I!

Beading Fun

Just a note: I know, I know...It's been a while since I last posted...and I have quite a few pictures to blog about, so hopefully I can get back in the swing of it...be watching. My energy has been lower than usual this pregnancy and we've had sicknesses come through that have also zapped energies.

This morning the kids requested we play with beads while Daddy went for his valentine's day massage. I am amazed at how long the little activity kept their attention.

Owen worked on stringing and counting the beads on his tray.

Lilly had a blast putting the beads in her jar and then dumping them out over and over again.

Here's Owen counting:

He's not super consistent on one to one correspondence yet and sometimes gets the numbers out of order still, but just last week all he would count to was 3, so this is a HUGE improvement! (Thank you, Numberland DVD from the libary!)
