Valentines


On Thursday, my friend Megan and I hosted the Valentine's Day party at Grace. Here, Rocky concentrates hard on making a valentine with Kathryn and Ruby.


Megan made a zillion heart-shaped cookies, which the kids decorated with frosting and sprinkles. They made extra for the Salvation Army shelter down the block from Grace. Megan, her girls and I brought a big load of donations from the parents of Rocky's classmates to the shelter that afternoon. 


Oliver had fun too. It was a little bit of déjà vu for me :)

Backyard fun

Rocky chose to stay inside ... Feeling sluggish after his booster shots.



Dual doctor's visit


Rocky was much more compliant at his yearly check up with big brother to show him the ropes.

Ollie's caffeine buzz

"Moooom! Owie has coffee!" Rockam yelled from the living room as I was finishing up a tutoring session.

Our fridge door sometimes doesn't close all the way, and Oliver loves to rearrange our condiments. When I went to investigate, this is what I found:


Next, I went looking for the culprit, who was very pleased with himself.


"Cheeeeese," he said.

"Oliver! You need a bath!"

With that, he got up and headed straight for the tub. The kid was super hyper as he splashed all the coffee grounds off himself. 

Rocky turns 4
















Outings


After a trip to the post office both rocky and Ollie got suckers. Rocky chomped his, but Oliver savored.


Then we had a snack-nic at the park


Mmmmm crackers n cheese.
