Valentines Day Cont.

 Nathan showing off his heart collage
 Our Valentine lunch: Red heart shaped grilled cheeses, heart shaped ham, and chips with salsa (because it's red)
 Enjoying lunch.  You can't see it here, but they had pink milk too.
 And of course, we had to make cookies!

This is what happens when Connor gets into the food coloring and takes off with one before I realize it.  Luckily he was wearing a red shirt!

Valentines Day

 So far today we've had heart toast with pink sugar...
and made torn paper hearts.
More to come later!

First Haircut

I gave Connor his first haircut this weekend.  It was sad to see those baby curls go.  He looks so much older now!

Hard at work

Hard at work coloring

Cabin fever

Well, I'd say cabin fever has definitely set in here at the Lafferty house.  I can tell the kiddos are getting tired of being cooped up indoors.  I got a little creative this week, trying to keep the crazy down a little:
 Earlier in the week I made the kids an obstacle course.  It involved balancing on blocks, jumping over blocks, going under the piano bench, riding the scooter to the rocking horse.  Rocking on the rocking horse and then rolling across Nathan's mattress that was on the floor.  They had a lot of fun with it.
Connor, of course, climbed on TOP of the piano bench instead of going under.
We also made a big tent one day this week, in the middle of the living room.  They all sat under it and snuggled on the big stuffed animals while watching a movie.

Ring around the rosy

Nathan trying to do ring around the rosy with Connor:

A visit from the "Greats"

 Reading with Great Grandma

 Playing with the new barn Great Grandpa made for Nathan
 Both boys now have a rocking chair made by Great Grandpa

3 Little Monkeys

During a particularly wild morning, I had a great idea to get some of the "crazies" out.  I put Nathan's mattress on the floor and let the kids jump on it.  They had a blast!

Go!

Connor's favorite part of playing blocks?  Knocking them down! :)
