A Touch of Spring

Temperatures broke 50 degress last week in Connecticut and we just had to take Aaron and Helena outside to play! They received mini ATVs for Christmas and had no trouble riding them up and down our street. We had a blast!

Aaron smiled the whole time riding on his ATV

Helena needed a bit of help getting started

" I've got to catch Helena!"

"Look at me!"

Aaron and Helena couldn't resist playing in the melting snow!

Finger Painting

As winter continues to linger here in Connecticut, we have found many entertaining activities to engage Aaron and Helena while they are stuck inside. A new favorite is finger painting! At first both children did not like having their hands dirty, but they quickly got over it and painted several creative pictures for us. We had so many we couldn't fit them all on the refridgerator, a difficult diliema followed as we decided what to do with all of the lovely artwork our children produced.

Helena examines the colorful paint

"Look Mom, I'm painting!"


Helena is so serious as she continues with her colorful creation

Aaron creates a masterpiece

Following our morning of finger painting, Aaron decides that a Pampers Box is the perfect place for him to read a book. He sat there for at least 20 minutes with his blanket and books.
