Beach Day!

Mr. cool dude:



Digging himself in:
??? not fully sure what he was doing, but he loved it and was doing it quite a bit today:

Nice weather again

We had beautiful weather today, and spent lots of time outside with the kids. Really, Mike and Quincy did enjoy going for a walk, in fact, the walk was Mike's idea. And to think I sometimes wonder where Quincy gets his scowls from.
And here is Quincy swinging, I put him in his swing for the first time yesterday and he was laughing and having a ball. Miles was a bit put off, because he still tries to squeeze himself into the baby swing. But Miles had fun on the other two swings, so quickly forgot to be upset.
A little shoulder ride, at first Quincy didn't know what to think, then he settled in and started gnawing on Mike's head.And Miles in his sandbox, still loving to bury himself in sand...

Get Fit week 9

I slept through the alarm this morning, but luckily Mike woke me up to see if I was still going to work out. Thanks honey, I think. The workouts went well this week, but we got the Wii and Wii fit this week and have been having fun playing the games. And I am now very sore. This mornings workout was very tough. Between Wii in the evenings and workouts in the mornings, I am in pretty sad shape!

A boy and his dog

Quincy and Rocky really are becoming best buds.

What a look

I think Quincy understands much more than I expect of a 6 month old baby. Miles and I were each eating a chocolate chip cookie in front of Quincy. This is the look he gave Miles and I the entire time we were eating our cookies. Most of the time he was looking at the cookies with this scowl on his face.

Snow day

We got a few inches of snow overnight, and it is still snowing a bit now. Miles is super excited to have snow to play in. All four of us went out this morning playing in the snow.
Here is Miles trying to slide - mostly just pushing snow down the slide.

And Quincy collecting snowflakes on his eyelashes:
Then we were joined by some friends.

The kids tried to build a snowman, but it just wasn't good sticking snow. Here is about the smallest snowman I've ever seen. Look for the tiny orange carrot sticking out of the snow, then you may be able to make out the small snow mounds that make up this snowman.

And of course, a break for hot cocoa with whipped cream and some chocolate chip cookies:
The Dads have just taken the kids to go sledding, while Quincy warms up and gets something to eat. I'm sure there will be some fun sledding stories by lunchtime! I hope everyone is having a great snow day!

A meltdown

I did something to upset Miles yesterday after naptime. And I was fortunate enough to have my camera in my hands while he proceeded to have a meltdown. I'm sure taking pictures of him while he was crying didn't make him any happier.
