wooden blocks
















One of the best Christmas gifts Owen received was a set of 60 wooden Melissa & Doug blocks. He can play with these things for hours. He sets them up and has the best time knocking them down and doing it all over again.





A few random things going on with us:

* Owen has taken to hiding toys in his bed under his pillows and blankets and between the mattress and the bed frame. He hides them so at bedtime he can pull them out and play, instead of going to sleep. It's really funny that he didn't imagine that he would get caught. So before bed and nap I have to check his bed for contraband.

* Monday afternoon Harley ate an entire diaper. Disgusting. We are talking about a #2 diaper people. Foul. Obviously he can not digest a whole diaper so we are just waiting for him to throw it up. Lovely.

* We switched our home phone from Comcast to Vonage, Thrilling, I know. But it cut our bill in half. That means an extra $25 a month for me to spend randomly at Target on things we don't need:) If anybody else needs to cut their home phone plan in half (unlimited long distance too) let me refer you and they will give me a month free.

* Here is the part where I want to yell and complain about how cold it is here this week, but I know it's nothing compared to how cold it is everywhere else. Brrr, it was in the 20's this morning here. This is Florida people, record lows.
*Owen is expanding his tv horizons. In addition to loving Elmo, Thomas and the Wiggles, he is now interested in Calliou (I can't stand that annoying kid!) and Handy Manny.

Ava's obsessed with Handy Manny! She loves when Donny pulls out his tool box and she gets to use real tools :) She also brings toys in her bed, but I have been allowing it. oops! maybe I shouldn't. One night she slept with her golf club in her hand haha

Well Owen used to bring toys to bed and it was fine, he would go to sleep without any issues pretty quickly. This week he is way off though, staying up in his bed playing for up to 2 hours after we've put him down. It's been rough.

that is too funny about owen bringing toys into the bed. Sneaky. and also very disgusting about your dog. I really cant believe that. really grosses me out. My dog just ate a puzzle piece that I had been looking for, and finally threw it up!
