Bath Time

Nothing too special, just a cute video I took last night of Eli playing with his alligator and truck in the bathtub.  Enjoy!

Building Blocks

 

"I love to build with blocks!"

 

"I love to make ramps for my trucks to race on."

 

Vroom vroom!

 

"And while it's rare, I do sit still to watch a show every once in a while."

Art of the Week

Eli's been quite the little artist this week...

 The wall that he colored right next to our front door.  Nice.  He colored it blue on Sunday, then found a black crayon somewhere on Monday and added to picture.

This morning.  When I turned my back for a minute to pack his lunch (he was coloring on paper when I last looked).  He told me he drew "happy faces" on his hands. 

Hopefully tattoos are not in our future.

 And this isn't Eli's art, it's our big, old, grumpy, lovey Piper.  He was sleeping so sweetly on the stairs, right next to the crayon on the wall, that I had to take a picture of him.






 

Chicken Wings

We thought Eli liked chicken wings, but then...

he took a bite and spit it out.  Piper seemed not to mind though.  :)

Hooray Snow Day!

Here are pictures from our snow day this past Monday.  

Our house in the morning.

SLEDDING!  

How do we sled in North Carolina?  Why, on big, plastic bin lids, of course!  

And where do we sled?  On big construction dirt hills!

Trying to have a family moment...it didn't turn out too well.

See the picture below.  :) 

 Those are tears of joy and happiness.  

(Actually, he was ready to go in.) 

Christmas Season

Here are some pictures from our Christmas season...

3 Halloweens

I thought it would be neat to see how Eli has changed over the past three years.  We've taken his picture each year in the same spot on Halloween - a bale of hay we put on our porch with pumpkins.
