Helping Daddy

Well we needed to put a heat vent ( i think that's what they did) in the kitchen, and the boys were very busy. Charlie got his tools and was right there with Will doing the sawing, drilling and whatever else they needed to do. It was so cute, Charlie seriously thought he was doing a lot of the work. ahh.... how great it is to have a handy husband that can fix things!

Crib Obsession

Charlie has been very much loving his crib lately (except for sleeping of course), he loves to climb in and aout of it, hang on it, jump in it, and run back and forth in it. We had his new buddy Ashleigh over and they had a blast in there together.

This is another day when Charlie was just being a crazy boy, in and out, in and out, I eventually put his rocking chair in front of the crib so he could get in and out himself because I was sick of lifting him, he thought that was the best idea ever! this is actually a picture of him telling me "no mom! Stop" He's been anti-camera lately. he puts his barn over there to stand on to climb up, pretty clever! and we're in...... and we want out.... this is Charlie getting mad at me for taking pictures and not getting out for the millionth time

Upstate Adventures

We took another adventure to grandpa's other house upstate in Angelica, NY.

It was very very cold. After a long drive with lots of traffic we were a little bummed that we didn't see massive amounts of snow, but while we were there it snowed a little bit so we did get to play a little. Charlie looked so fat all bundled up with all his layers and snow suit, it was in the single digits so we were freezing our buns off. Charlie LOVES to go for rides with Dad! Charlie was on a mission to find animals in that barn, but there weren't any. Still no animals on this side either...... So we took a drive to a neighbor cow farm. There were 1,400 cows there, Charlie was in his glory. He kept mooing at the cows, it was funny. We also got to see a couple of baby calfs, 1 was only 3 hours old! A little fun in the snow

Playing with Justin Hitting the slopes. Dad thought he would try skiing since he left his snowboard at home which got someone else thinking about skiiing............... He also really wanted to get on that ski lift............... So we gave him a little ride on Dad's skis.

Mackenzie didn't want to use her skis, so Charlie gave it a shot. This lasted for about a minute, then he wanted nothing to do with it, it was just way too cold! Later that night we goofed around at the house with all the kids. He's actually cuddling! The lollipop crew! Jack, Charlie, Mikayla, and Mackenzie.

NYC

We went to the city on Sunday, it was chilly but still a nice day. Charlie was really good about staying in the stroller (he usually isn't). FAO Schwartz...... The best toy store in the city! It's huge, you could spend all day there, like an amusement park. Spongebob made out of legos This was a room filled with toy trucks, Charlie had a huge melt down when we had to leave, hmmm...... I wonder why?! Next stop, Central Park, Charlie didn't want to go on the fake horse, he wanted to go on the real one.......... So here we are in the horse and buggy that took us through Central Park, well at least a very small part of it. Waiting for our connection on the Long Island Rail Road Fun on the train!

Charlie's Latest Obsession

Charlie has a new obsession with Play-doh......

For some reason he thinks he needs to make this face when I tell him to look at the camera

Green spaghetti and blue meatballs mmmm!

We went to the city today, I forgot my camera, but since I'm a nut about "capturing every moment" we bought a disposable so when I get them on a disk I'll post the pictures, hopefully they came out alright, it's very weird to take pictures without being able to check and see if they look good, we are so spoiled this day and age.
