We celebrated Uncle Jason’s birthday (a day late) at his house tonight. Nolan and Lincoln colored “happy birthday” pictures for him and were very excited to also help him eat cake and open his presents. Generous helpers, aren’t they?
After the tree removal, we were left with two large sections of the yard that were just dirt & ground stumps. Jake took the boys to the hardware store to get grass seed and look at the bird feeders. When they returned, the kids helped him prepare the dirt and spread the seed. They are always so eager to help their dad – I love it!
The boys had a couple of days to play with their friend, I. The three of their little minds never cease to come up with creative ways to use blankets, pillows, and containers.
Here they are in their “hideout” behind the couch:
Here are the “cars” they were riding in:
And then, of course, Lincoln had to empty the bookcase. Nothing frustrates me more than walking into the toy room and seeing a mess like this. I would love to know what possesses my 2 year old to take every book off of the shelf and make a monster pile. Maybe he thinks he can read by osmosis through his feet?
