Cram

I found a new obsession recently:  hot yoga.  So I've been out every evening and hence the lack of posts.  So I'm going to cram a bunch of pictures and stories into one long post.  Here is how February has been going:

 

 

 

 

LOTS of wrestling with Daddy to get out LOTS of energy.  And yes, there is a Daddy under there.  Winter is a tough time for the kids, they crave running, jumping and playing outside.  The wind has been so nasty lately that we've been going out for five minutes before they were begging to come back in.

 

I took Ava and Dawson to see the Woodwind Trio at the Canton Symphony {Carter was at preschool}.  Dawson was so well behaved!  He sat and only needed one or two reminders to sit down.  It goes without saying that Ava was wonderfully riveted to the performance. 

 

 

 

She loved this statue.  She decided to model her kindermusik statue after this Pegasus statue in the Cultural Arts Center.

 

For Kindermusik the kids had to create a statue of something they would see in the city.  So I gave the kids some collage materials and modeling clay and let them get to work.

 

Ava decided to make a Pegasus horse.  She also told me that the yellow pieces of paper were band-aids.

 

 

Carter made a very fancy, feathery, fluffy Statue of Liberty.

 

The kids have been so "helpful" lately.  They are very interested in cooking and constantly want to help me.  Unfortunately dinner has been late to the table a lot due to all the "helping."  I've been trying to allow them to help as much as they'd like but I'm constantly gritting my teeth as they pour half the cup of milk on the counter or dropping egg shells into the bowl.  Carter has improved a lot, today he did a great job peeling carrots.  I want my kids to learn how to COOK a meal, not assemble, so grit my teeth I will.
