Inside Outside

Our weather this past week went from freezing to amazing! Last weekend there were threats of snow and the city pretty much shut down. We were hoping to wake up to snow on Saturday, but the only snow we found was inside of some plants. We had a fair bit of hail and sleet throughout the weekend, but that's it! A couple of hours south got a lot of snow, but not us. So, we stayed inside and had some fun. We have some kids science kits and Benjamin and I made a robot with glowing LED lights, using copper tape, LEDs, resisters, and a battery. He did a great job and was so proud that it worked!

 Caleb is doing so well following directions to make lego sets. He made Benjamin's race car and then moved onto his lego chima set.

 Benjamin loves to help with anything we are doing. This past week he took an interest into helping with dishes. I washed and he rinsed...why not!

 Yesterday was a beautiful day, so we played outside and then took the boys for Chinese food at one of our favorite restaurants, and then tried a new ice cream place. They make the ice cream from scratch right in front of you, and they use dry ice. In between the boys is the smoke from ice and kitchen aide mixer making the goodies. They were fascinated!

 Cookie dough ice cream for Benjamin and strawberry for Caleb.

 Yes, it was good...and all gone!

 The boys love Twix, and Caleb likes to find her when she is not around. When he finds her, he likes to see give her kisses and get her to kiss him back. This weekend, she turned into his special leopard kitty.

 Today was a gorgeous day. After my run and Nathan's walk, we went to the Embassy to play with some friends. Benjamin and his friend Eve, pushing her little sister on the swings.

 We brought Watson and Clover to the park with us, and there were a couple of others when we arrived. They had fun playing and having a PB&J picnic. Loving the nice weather lately!

Happy Saturday!
