Joel surprised me with his handwriting abilities when he managed to pull out VANILLA WAFERS.
In the Dr. Seuss book,
Oh Say Can You Say, one of our favorite lines is that you should never get your father a walrus. Naturally, we wanted to get him this one.
There's a very large dollhouse in the basement/ground floor level of the American History Museum.
Noelle's been devouring the Laura Ingalls Wilder books this year, so seeing an actual Conestoga wagon was a treat for us all.
These guys are from Captain Kangaroo.
Joel enjoys his Christmas present from his cousin, and tells everyone that they shall not pass.
Did I mention that he likes to make things? Like a guy out of oranges and pretzels?
Hands-on Amethyst at the Natural History Museum.
Noelle tries to blend in with the transportation history exhibit.
This is one of my favorite pictures. This is Squidgy. Squidgy is much loved, so much so that Joel persuaded his Amma to knit Squidgy a scarf and boots. Alas, Squidgy is now lost. He was last seen in Cahokia, Illinois. If you see Squidgy, please let us know. Seriously.
Art Museum outing...
Puddle stomping...
In a moment of clarity I remembered a favorite childhood snack--pizza toast. Yes!
Marky will copy
anything his brother does.
Anything, and he will do it within seconds.
