Winter activities

A fun winter activity we like to partake in...making fresh pasta!

Here Dylan is making his dough into the shape of a chicken.



Way to work that dough!!


Kneading the dough is the best part of the activity!!


Work it boys!


We also like to do art projects on rainy days...which are plentiful!  So much so that Dylan is becoming a bird painting expert!


It was actually quite in the house...for about 10 minutes!


Cole working on an activity book Dad brought home from the National Gallery of Art from DC.


Spending a day off in Portland,where we learned all about...


...Dutch Babies!  We've been making them ever since Aunt Julie!!


And reading is always a favorite.  


Never knew as a parent that I would have to say "stop reading", "no you can't read while you are walking down the sidewalk", "stop reading so you can get out of the car and go into school" or "no reading at the table"


One wintry morning, mom got to sleep in a bid and came out to this scene...Dad and the boys playing Chess, drinking tea out of tea cups and saucers and some Chinese music playing in the background.


It was truly a delight!
