Happy Birthday to my 5 year old!

Teague really, really wanted to help Alex open his gifts.
Book reading before naps.
(Today’s book of choice – Knuffle Bunny)
Brothers
Teague not only came in the living room with sunglasses. They were neatly arranged on his shirt.
We had a lot of empty boxes sitting around so the boys decided to decorate them for me.
It’s a Lego kind of day.

The floating head.
Tub monster.
These boys love to mop. Too bad they aren’t quite at the point where I can let them do it all!

Working on the ABCs.
Snack sharing.
Shoveling a sick neighbor’s driveway.
(Wade did come afterwards with the snowblower.)
More snow eating.
Creating targets for the nerf guns.
Little guy plate date.
Shop helpers.
Alex’s happy place.
Teague has just discovered Curious George books (or I should say he has finally developed the attention span to listen to an entire one) and wants to read them constantly.

Gram braved the -40 degree windchill to take the boys to Target. For the trouble they got to pick out a new toy.

We went to see Cowboy Camp today and Teague definitely looked the part!

The boys have been begging for a sleepover so tonight we let them try. (And they both managed to fall asleep in a decent amount of time.)

Reading fool.
“No eye patch Mom”
Alex had his first paying job today. Amber (who works with autistic children) took him on a playdate and he was paid a piece of gum and a dollar.
Mr. Independent can now undo his snap and zipper.
I realized at some point that Alex had been really quiet for quite a while. This is where I found him.
Best buds.
The TV stare.
Taking Daddy breakfast in bed. Happy Birthday Daddy!
School days.
Definitely the new favorite game around our house.
Battleships anyone?
Kitty cat snuggles.
Alex loved playing entertainer to Grant and tried to read him a train book.
