Springtime!

Today actually felt like spring. Temperatures near 50, sunny blue skies, and the revealing of the sandbox.  Scott and Tyler were able to ski today, and play in the sand. What a lucky boy!

Last day of Ski Lessons

Tyler made amazing progress with his skiing this season. On the last lesson day, they set up a course of gates for the kids to go through. He did really well and loved going on the chair lift. Hopefully we can get him up there a few more times before the mountain closes!

On the magic carpet

At the start of the course...

Uh oh, meltdown! One too many runs today!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Our little leprechaun wishes you a very Happy St. Patty's Day!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

The Donut Debacle

Tyler is a Curious George fan. That's actually an understatement... Tyler is a Curious George Fanatic! We watch George every day, and there was a recent episode where George buys 100 dozen donuts. Tyler thought that we should buy donuts, so one Sunday we went and got 3 donuts. Now he wants donuts all of the time. If I ask what he wants to eat, donuts. At the store, he wants donuts. So today I used that to my advantage...

Tyler caught a cold last weekend, mostly a bad cough, but he has barely eaten anything. After 5 days of barely enough calories to get through the day, I decided to whip up some beignets from a mix I got at work the other day. They're French donuts, so that should count, right? He loves to help in the kitchen, especially if there is flour and a rolling pin involved. Low and behold, we made perfect little beignets, I mean donuts, and he proceeded to eat several.. and some peaches too!

Hopefully we are on the very tail end of this cold, it has been a crummy week of staying in and listening to him cough. Today he has been active, playing, singing, EATING, and hardly coughing at all. I'm chalking the success up to donuts.

Showing off the remains of a donut. And yes, we are still in pajamas at 2:30 this afternoon. It has been a long week.
