Catching Up: Winter Fun

In January Oliver discovered the fun that is painting! I got these wooden shapes at the craft store. When the paint dried I glued magnets to the back so he can play with them on the fridge - which he does quite a lot.

We had a lot of fun in February:

• We decorated Valentines Day cookies with friends at the church for Adventure Days. We spent Valentines Day delivering little Play-Doh valentines and visiting with friends - ending the day at Pete & Camille's for fabulous chocolate covered strawberries and fun games.
• Oliver and I went to tour the new fire station in our neighborhood. Oliver got to "drive" a fire truck and an ambulance. It was so much fun that I had to call my friend Kathy so she could bring Jonah over. Oliver loved when Jonah got there, because that meant that he got to do everything again! It was very exciting and actually quite cool!
• We went snow-shoeing, which I'm wishing we had gotten into earlier in the winter, it could have made for a faster funner winter. Oliver had a blast even though he got cold fingers - he loved running around in the snow, sliding down the snow banks, and he made his first real snow angel.
