February Fun

Owen as beauty commando. Little man loves my hairband and wears it around the house whenever he finds it.


Showing his well-roundedness, he also adores the jr. tool belt given to us by friends, and filled with real, metallic, miniature tools. The coffee table now falls into the 'rustic' furniture category. Oops.


When it is very quiet, I can often accurately predict that Owen has made his way to the kitchen, assembled his setup of stool, bowl, flour drawer and measuring spoon, and has commenced filling the bowl with flour. He doesn't do too badly. When the fun is done, he runs for his earmuffs because he knows the dustbuster is coming out and it's 'lauwww!' He likes having his tummy dustbusted quite a bit, and it usually needs it.




Today I was doing the dishes and Owen assembled the outfit below and came to tell me he wanted to go outside. Boots, jacket (I had to help get it on right, but he had made a valiant effort), jacket hood on, and daddy's winter hat on top of it. It was 50+ degrees outside today and honestly felt like summer, no exaggeration. We spent the afternoon chipping up the melting ice off the driveway, grateful for the chance to return it to asphalt rather than skating rink status. Owen thought chipping ice with the 'wuhwel' (shovel) was the most fun he's had in a while.


I got out the camera and Owen would stop his chipping to turn around and say cheese, unsolicited :)




Depositing chipped ice/snow at my feet. Thank you!
