Spring Break

Spring Break is here! This year it takes the form of a four day weekend since we had so many snow days. We're getting ready for a quick trip to Las Vegas and Connor is staying at home to enjoy time with grandparents and hopefully some more warm weather.
It's been a while so here is what we've been up to lately-
Outside enjoying the warm weather, playing the horn that is supposed to be a Christmas decoration- "Cheese"
Some of Connor's artwork, with a little help from Nana-
Making "messes." Connor loves to get into the cabinets and drawers and really enjoys any type of bath product (soaps, lotions, etc.). Turn your back for one minute and this is what you'll find- he's pointing his finger in the air saying "Don't make a mess!"

A weekend at home

Surprise--we got 9 inches of snow on Saturday! Cancelled all of our weekend plans and we got to stay in and enjoy some time together- it was great. It also gave Connor a chance to show off his awesome new hat- the one that I refer to as the cutest hat in the world. I just love it because when he wears it his face looks like a baby- not the big boy that runs around the house all day.
Modeling the hat-
Loving the snow--
Showing us the snow on the tree-
This is where Connor spent most of the time outside- the snow was up to his knees so it was hard getting around.
He didn't mind-

Today Connor had a pretty good fall down the step to our garage. He wasn't listening or following directions- imagine that- and fell face first. It looked horrible with blood around his nose and mouth. Connor wouldn't cry- probably because he didn't want to let me know that I was right. Amazingly I stayed calm as well and when it was cleaned up it was no big deal- just a little busted lip. It didn't hurt much until we brushed teeth tonight and when he went to bed he had to take his "Cold Nemo" ice pack with him!
