January

Scott delivering some compost to the garden boxes while Perry supervises.

We went for a light hike at Belgatos Park and stopped for a picnic at the turnaround point.

Then we went to Grandma's and played with cousins in the hot tub.

We got one last visit on our Children's Discovery Museum passes before they expired. I was going to renew them, but the price jumped up and I'm not sure we'll get enough use to make it worth it now.

There was a magic show outside that was fun. Melody and her girls met us there and Nora has the cutest smile in this picture.

A little upsidedown reading before bed.

I was on the phone with customer service in my room because I couldn't hear over the kids. I came out and Perry had entertained himself cleaning the heat intake vent with tissues. There are worse things to do while unsupervised.

Scott got some bigger puzzles from another family on buy nothing and they were the perfect rainy day activity.

We went to an epic light saber battle at the Higleys one night.

I always have willing recipients of any extra smoothie.

Waiting for the wii to start their game.

Perry thinks he's done napping, but sometimes his body disagrees.

Looks so comfy with his legs crossed.

I wanted to take a picture of Jonah with his artwork, but Perry jumped in.

Another afternoon fighting his naps and losing.

This time at the dentist. Another clear check-up for the big boys.

I took a picture of Perry's tip toes as he climbed up to use the sink, then when I was in Seattle I saw it on my phone and wanted to squeeze his little bum.

Also while I was gone, John picked up this couch I bought from our friends. It fits our space so much better and is great quality. The room looks a little drab with all neutrals, but nothing some bright throw pillows can't fix.

Big huggies for little brothers

Talking to each other on the walk home from school drop-off.

Kitchen helper

Perry tucked himself to sleep on the floor. He only lasted a few nights in his toddler-converted crib.

Just lounging while he listens to his dump truck.

Pushing the button again. He can be SO lazy.

Another unexpected nap, this time on the gym childcare floor. So gross.

Jonah went to bed with his "shoot" tucked into his underwear.

I was watching a friends' kids and noticed Scott's shirt and pants were short on him. He sprouted up overnight.

Most people in our area only use kids dress clothes for a wedding, funeral, or holidays, then they're outgrown, so it's easy to get free or inexpensive clothes for the boys for church. This blazer is Janie and Jack, worn once, and was free from a neighbor on Buy Nothing. It's perfect for Scott.

We went for a Sunday walk after church. It was beautiful weather for January.

I appreciate the trampoline more after it's rained and we haven't been able to use it. I love sending the boys to the backyard to get some energy out.

Little Bieber hair action going on. He loves combing his hair with my brush.

And wearing John's hat.

Picking up Scott from school

We took the twins to the park during cookie day so their mom could have a break. We had tired legs on the walk back and needed to triple up on the stroller.

Jonah helping Perry get the kibble out of the kitty.

The cat is still entertaining us all a month later.
