Bird Nests

Today Henry was still not feeling well, so we decided to stay home (again). Since we could not go anywhere, the next best thing would be chocolate of course. First we made chocolate bird nests and filled them with jellybeans. Then we read The Best Nest while our chocolate hardened. Finally we were able to enjoy our yummy creations. I also decided we needed a day without television, so it has been a wonderfully productive yet quiet morning. I am so ready for spring and these nests gave us a little snipet of the wonderfully refreshing things ahead (it really does not take much).

mud

After Henry's nap, we went for a walk and then I decided to do some planting/digging. Claire and Henry starting off helping and then they found something much more exciting-mud! After all of the rain, our backyard is like a lake. At first it was just a little splash and it rapidly become stomping and yes, sitting. I decided worse things could happen and gave them their second bath of the day.

No Way!

My sweet little boy who just turned 2 on Sunday has a new favorite saying. It literally happened the day after his birthday. Henry do you want to sit on the potty? "No way!" Henry, it's time to go now- "No way!" Henry, you need to wash your hands for dinner- "No way."

Henry was very quiet for too long, so I went into the kitchen to check on him. He is kindly showing me the marker he used to draw on his face and the wall.

Haircut

There is nothing like a little lady with a fresh haircut!

Our Week

We had such a great week. We especially enjoyed getting some fresh air on Thursday and Friday. Having said that, last night was not so much fun when Henry was sick. Some of our favorites:
