To Fill Up a Week

Uncle Tyler, Aunt Lauren and Mason gave Miles this set for Christmas.  He started working on it with Daddy's help, then Daddy left to go out of town for work...   so there it sat all week. Ha! 

We found other things to keep us busy in Derek's absence, and the boys are great helpers.  They helped peel carrots for stew.

Owen pulled the magnetic bottle opener off the fridge and thought he was peeling his. πŸ˜‚

They matched and sorted socks.  I'm sure you can imagine how much help Owen is with that.

It was really cold January week, so when Miles dress himself in a short sleeved t-shirt, I told him he should put on another shirt too.  He came back out with at least six shirts layered up!

Appropriately enough, it was also "Fashion Disaster" night at AWANA.

Owen likes to run into Cooper's bed and tuck himself in...

But his real happy place is in his own bed with his binkies...  all of them.
(And his blanky and Bandit, the raccoon from Aunt Mandy)

The day Derek was driving home from the Archery Trade Show in Indianapolis, I woke up around 3am to a thunder storm and hail!  Then early in the morning, it changed to ice.  Yuck. 

The boys went outside to 'get the mail' and decided to shoot some hoops... the ball got stuck because the net was frozen and had to give. 

So they made the best of it and slid down frozen the driveway on their sleds.

And :::shocking::: Miles found a bug! 

Derek didn't hit the ice until close to home, so had a fairly good trip back home.  And he brought gifts: Freebie Hats! :)

And Miles wasted no time at all talking Daddy into finishing up his Contructors set.

πŸ’™ We were all glad to have him back home. πŸ’™
