Project 365: The tail end of 2010
Well, I think we've been able to manage the challenges of traveling over the holidays and are enjoying the boys' reactions to Christmas. They (and we) are loving being surrounded by everyone: grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles, cats and dogs. Enjoy the photos :)

Project 365: Week 50 (can you believe it?)
It's been business/craziness as usual here this week. Christmas cards went out (yay), gifts were ordered and packages went out (double yay), and now we're just dealing with Zach asking about getting Christmas presents every day.
Gabe's artistic medium of choice lately is any milk left in his bottle.
An unexpected view of our kitchen. As much as I love this kitchen for it's great light, I don't really like winter evenings in here--I feel like the whole world can see in.
A rather unappetizing Play-doh ice cream cone from Zach...I guess it's the thought that counts.
Gabe's definitely a climber.
Speaking of kitchens, this is one I liked at IKEA.

Project 365: Week 49
Monday, November 29
Just comparing Zach's 2-week prints with his 3-year one. Can you believe he's over 40 inches tall already?
Tuesday, November 30
Snow day, literally. We headed out to daycare, only to turn around because the weather seemed too bad. When Frank got home I couldn't resist Zach's pleas any longer...he had a lot of fun.
Wednesday, December 1
I gave him a fork for the first time to see what he'd do, and I was rewarded with lots of funny faces.
Thursday, December 2
Zach's new love: watercolors (aka playing in water with brushes).
Friday, December 3
On a whim I picked up a package of bubbles from the cereal aisle at the grocery store (4 little Spongebob bottles), and I tell you, they are the best bubbles I've ever had. I can blow a hundred little bubbles from one dip, and they don't leave any drippy mess.
Saturday, December 4
Ever since his birthday, Zach is crazy about Toy Story...I think this photo speaks for itself. Grandma (or somebody) is getting him #3, right?
This was the drive home from shopping, but it's pretty much what all of last week was like. Cold and dreary.
Sunday, December 5
I decided to let Zach try scissors, and he's actually pretty good (with each hand, too), especially if I'm there reminding him where to put his fingers. When I left him is when he put them in his mouth and cut his lip...they've been put away for at least the next couple of days.

Project 365: Week 48
Monday, November 22
Not sure exactly what I photographed here...
Tuesday, November 23
You may think I don't know what I photographed here either, but this is Gabe blowing raspberries on the floor. He also likes to practice on the foam playmat (which he did right after I snapped this photo) and the leather couch.
Wednesday, November 24
Day Three in a series of weird photos. I think that they were wrestling happily right before I took this but I wasn't quick enough. Not sure why Zach is upset, unless he is mad Gabe is paying more attention to me and the camera than to playing with him.
Thursday, November 25
The scene at Thanksgiving.
Friday, November 26
We went to a place called Mini Europe. I think we saw famous cities/sites from over 20 different countries. Kind of reminded me of mini-golf without the golf. It was fun but would have been more fun if it wasn't freezing outside.
Saturday, November 27
Happy Birthday, Zachary! I think he was actually more excited about the chocolate-frosted cake than his presents that day.
Sunday, November 28
Zach still listening to his musical birthday card...You've got a friend in me.

A big boy's birthday
Zach's birthday falling on or near Thanksgiving makes for a great celebration weekend! Abby and Loic were in attendance for a few days full of yummy food and lots of toys. We had a blast. Zach had been asking about his presents daily since Gabe's birthday. The funniest thing is that whenever someone asks how old he is, he says "Three years old, birthday presents!" There was definitely a Disney theme going on: Toy Story movies, Cars toys, Mickey and friends puzzles, and oodles of little Handy Manny tools and stuff scattered everywhere. Thanks to everyone for all the gifts :)
