Inside Fun

Winter has arrived, and although that means that we aren't always able to get outside and play, we are having lots of fun inside these days. I'm sure I'll have a change of heart come March...but right now I'm enjoying all the time spent inside reading books, doing messy art projects, watching a movie after dinner with popcorn, and best of all, seeing Jack and Miles entertain each other! Here are a few pictures of the boys from the last week:

The workbench continues to be a favorite toy. We now have enough hard hats and tools for an entire construction crew...

These Melissa and Doug blocks are one of my all time favorite toys. Jack got them from Grandma Eleanor for his first birthday and 3 1/2 years later they continue to be played with several times a week. Here is Jack with his completed masterpiece (the castle from Shrek).

I decided to be brave and let Miles paint at the easel for the first time. Needless to say, he LOVED it!

Of course, Jack had to show him how it's done.

What kid doesn't love to paint??!
