A Quiet Week

Everyone has been feeling a little under the weather this week. Sam's been fighting another round of croup - keep your fingers crossed that daddy and mommy aren't out tonight walking him in the cold air.

Sam has always loved music. He loves to pull out the piano bench and start playing. This week he found a new way to make piano music . . . with his knee. It was actually pretty good.

Story time is always a favorite time of the night for us. Here we are reading The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle. It's a good one!

We got in the Christmas spirit a little this weekend by watching The Polar Express movie. It combines two things we love . . . trains and Santa. We also helped with some yard work this weekend. The leaves seem to be waiting until its gets really cold to fall this year. Sam begged to rake the leaves all day . . . even after we were done. I did a little block building - I built a city with a train going around it. The building with the orange semi-circle on top is the Orange Factory - where they make oranges and orange milk . . . who knew?

Another one of our favorite things is doing Yoga with mommy. We have mastered our Downward Dog poses. Here we are doing some relaxation. Namaste. And for craft time this week we made hand print turkeys. Then we got to paint a whole turkey scene. We love crafts! Sam Alert: Hey everybody! Sam here. The title of this picture is . . . A boy and his dog. And the title of this one is . . . Following in Daddy's Footsteps. Ahh - now if I could only stop coughing. Sam out!
