First Day of Spring 2014

Spring is finally here! Well at least for today it is, today it is going to get to 45 degrees!!!! But don't worry it will be back down in the twenties again tomorrow.
Nana came to Karate lessons last night- both Shane and Jackson are a purple belt with one stripe. Nana also came over for dinner so the boys were very excited to see her- Jackson calls her a cupcake head b/c he thinks her hair looks like a cupcake! I think Nana is going to write a book about it.

Karate and swimming have been going well, the boys are participating and for the most part behaving. Shane and Jackson got thrown out of Karate a few weeks back because they were fighting but they were o.k. last night. We start art classes at the MFA this weekend which hopefully will be fun and not too stressful!

Jackson is still building forts all over the place, last night he built one around his bed and was very proud of it! With the encouragement of Shane, Mommy has been building some legos with the boys. Shane told me "it's o.k. mommy, you can do it, the legos aren't that hard". I know you can do it mommy, and then after I built something he gave me a high five.

The boys carefully reading the newest lego booklet from the Lego Store- this keeps them occupied for a long time!

 Reading before Karate Lessons, Shane Left and Jackson right. Shane read a pirtate adventure and Jackson was reading "an island delight"- don't really know what that means.

 The boys handwriting- March 2014- age 5 1/2. This is from a card they made for Zach.

 Observation time at karate lessons.

 Family fun at the Belmont Winter Carnival at the H.S. - March 2014. Jackson tie dye shirt, Shane in blue Spiderman sweatshirt.

Superheros unite! This is the boys in their Hugh Hefner robes from Nana. Jackson especially likes to wear his robe. Shane likes to put things in the robe- such as the dragon sword and radio communicator to keep the bad guys away.

Building workshop at Home Depot- march 24. Shane above with the hammer.

Shane showing off his new karate moves and purple belt.

The Lego store- shopping for legos is quite an experience! Here is Shane eyeing a new toy.

Here is a picture of a Playroom fort. Notice the blankets and that every crevase is full with a toy or even one of Shane's onsies so that no light will get into the fort. Shane is carrying his tool box to fix the holes!
