Fall Fun

Hiking on the Greenbelt

Marlo found a snake skin.

Louis pretended that his play compass was a cell phone and took care of some pretend business.

Blanton Art Museum

Carrot peeling.

Louis stayed home one day- I can't actually remember why, he wasn't sick. I think I had the day off and he just wanted to hang out.  He took the opportunity to play with all of Marlo's toys while she was at school (or winter break camp or something).

Smoothy date.

Marlo can ride her pedal bike without training wheels. She needs a bigger bike (birthday gift shopping done!)
Louis also did great with out training wheels but he can't reach the ground so starting and stopping tend to be a challenge.

Hot cocoa and latte date.

 At this point the kids pretty much hate going to our new house. If we pull up to it Louis just screams "NO" at the top of his lungs. We feel it too. We are ready... but we are close! It will be so worth it. I'm sure Louis feels like we've been building for his entire life.

They had fun running in the yard.

We brought toys to entertain them. Here they are playing on the living room floor.

Louis is 4!

He celebrate at his school on Dec 31.

 

And we had a super fun Thinkery party on Sunday Jan 3rd!

The banner that Marlo and Chloe created

Bottoms up!

 His friends made a mural for him

Ms. Elizabeth hosted a special story time.

Everyone painted a mini masterpiece!

Parachute play!

More painting!

Are you ready?

 For a bubble mosh pit!

 Birthday song, candle, and cupcakes!

 He got a cool new Thinkery Tshirt (that would have matched his shorts perfectly but that he would not put on)

We tried to organize 19 kids into a group picture...

Gifts galore!
