Valentine's Day 2020

We took the boys snow shoeing today on the mountain loop highway! We had so much fun walking together, having a snow ball fight, building a snowman and eating our snacks. The boys rode down the hill in the sled laying on top of each other. It was hilarious. Even though our car got stuck in the snow and we had to have people help us push it out, we still had a great time together.

After our snow day we grabbed a heart pizza from Papa Murphy's and headed home. We relaxed and watched the Flash and then exchanged our Valentines. The boys each got candy and books. Then we got a family gift of a new chess and checker boards with a kid's instruction manual. 

Declan painted a picture for Wesley.  We shared a big pot of chocolate fondue which Wesley thought was just about the best thing to ever happen to him! 

Days at home with me

January was a quiet month for Wesley and me. His toddler class was cancelled due to snow and his tumble class was cancelled because his teacher had the flu! We tried to keep our days busy and full while we wait patiently for Declan to come kindergarten. 

 Wesley has recently decided that he likes pepperoni. Yes, he's sitting on the toilet! 

Here's Wesley working on his Valentine art! He loves to paint! 

While putting away the Nativity Wesley found the last few Christmas cookies and managed to stuff himself with several! He loves cookies.

Wesley also loves to help in the yard. He helped me cut apart our Christmas tree and shove it in the yard waste bin! What a great helper! 

Just like his big brother he loves to dance around and wiggle his bottom at me! 

Zoo day

On Monday Brad had taken the day off since the boys didn't have school. We were supposed to go on an adventure in the snow, but ended up taking Declan to see Dr. Chilcote. After our appointment we decided to go to the zoo. The boys had a great time. We used our membership tickets to ride the carousel and feed the penguins! 

The boys loved checking out the Komodo dragons and the statue outside the exhibit.

Here's Declan after feeding the penguins their fish!

Checking out the lions on the savannah!

 More penguins! 

The new tiger Bummi was sunbathing so we go an up close view of him! It was a wonderful afternoon. 

After the zoo we went to Scuttlebutt for dinner with Mao, Pop and cousins Doug and Sandy!
