Sunday...the boys and I got some seeds started for the garden while Todd worked hard studying for the PE exam. Actually, and much more accurately, Ethan and Jack mucked about in the soil, enjoying the dirt on their hands and everywhere else until I finally gave up on the idea of them actually planting the seeds, moved the tray to the counter, and planted them myself while they enjoyed a rousing game of "shove the table back and forth across the kitchen." Maybe next year...Tuesday...
We got a new (or new to us, anyhow) dining room table about a week ago, which has been wonderful for the boys, and all of us really. Great for Todd to spread his books out while studying, great for sewing projects, the boys' crafts, etc. The boys now have their own bench, which they fit on so perfectly, and they really enjoy having their own spot together.
Thursday...
The big spring snowstorm hit. Ethan and I ventured out to get the newspaper, but one cold fall in the snow had us hurrying back inside in no time. We decided to bring the snow in where it was warm, and have some fun with it without have to deal with snowsuits and 1 degree wind chill.
(Blue plus yellow? Green, of course!)
Another indoor activity for the day- a masking tape road/city. Our cities usually include a craft store and a pet store (located next to each other in real life) and of course, King Soopers. Ethan also wanted a house for the cars, complete with car beds. Ethan's car took a trip to the pet store, and, using his "tow," brought four animals back to the car house. After the animals were nicely settled in, we took a trip to King Soopers to buy some food for the animals. So much fun!

Friday (Today)...
We made it out to play in the snow today. It was beautiful, sunny and warm, but the boys were overtired and had a hard time. Poor Jack- his little mittens kept falling off and he got snow in his socks. But once he started eating the huge snowball I was trying to make a snowman out of, he began to have a higher opinion of the snow. Ethan's favorite snow activity- also, eating the snow.
