Dylan's First Snow Man!

We had our first real snowfall of the year today! It was a perfect snow, the sort that just hangs onto the trees....ahhh, I love it. (I won't be as excited to see snow in March.) Dylan rushed outside to shovel the snow and make a snowman before he thought about breakfast. The snow was so heavy; I am impressed he managed to roll the snowman with no help! I offered, he just wasn't interested. Logan and Nathan also made it outside this morning.....for about 2 minutes.

Aaarrggghh!

Dylan celebrated his FIFTH birthday with his 12 favorite Buccaneers!

I am so lucky my husband goes along with my crazy plans, like building a 48 foot pirate ship around the play area.

Walk the Plank!!! (By far everyone's favorite game.)

I CANNOT believe he is FIVE!!!!

Draw IT!

This is a fun little reading game that both boys can play together!

I wrote several words on index cards, Dylan reads them silently and then draws the word. Nathan gets to guess what he is drawing. I am excited to try out all the variations of this game!

Did I Mention that I LOVE Dylan's Art Class?

I know I have, but really, it is AWESOME! This past Fall Dylan took LiterARTure. Every week the teacher reads a book and then the class creates art based on that book. Very cool. Next week he is going to start a new class called Coral Reef Art Exploration. I am so excited to get back into a routine and he truly misses art school.

Here are some pics from the Fall. The first one, he did a week after his 4th birthday. I think is is amazing, although I am a bit biased.
