Princesses and Big Boys

It was a low key week for us as Addie was recovering from her cold and then Mommy and Daddy came down with slight colds...oh well.
It has been fun to watch the kiddos develop their likes/dislikes.  Addie is such a little girl wanting to wear "princess dresses" every day while Ayson loves following Daddy around, doing whatever Daddy does.

A picture from New Years Eve when Daddy took the kiddos to the grocery store.  (Mommy was checking Daddy's camera for pics from this week and stumbled on this gem :)



Addie had stuffed so many items in her back pack that she could not pick it up!  So Mommy helped Addie thin out her "loot" so that she could stay up right.



On Friday, Mommy got a call from Ayson's school stating that he threw up at lunch...ugh.  Ayson had a bit of an upset stomach but otherwise was fine the rest of the weekend.  So much so, that on Friay afternoon, he wanted to paint the bird house he got for Christmas!  (he ran out of paint for the roof but we will fix that this spring)  Nice job, Big Guy!  (Mommy followed Auntie Holly's lead and stripped Ayson down to underwear and a t-shirt for the painting fun :)



Princess Addie in her princess jammies and princess crown playing with her princess stamp set!



Ayson received at least 3 dinosaur bone dig sets for Christmas and we have slowly been working on them.  Nice smile (and safety glasses), Big Guy!



Ayson with a finished dinosaur...while wearing his dinosaur jammies.  Notice Princess Addie in her Cinderella dress in the back ground :)



The Exhibit, Discover the Dinosaurs, was in Syracuse over the weekend and we took the kiddos on Saturday afternoon.
Daddy and the kids next to T-Rex.  Ayson is even wearing a dinosaur shirt.  He wanted to make sure that everyone knew that he likes dinosaurs.  We assured him that everyone at the Exhibit shared his love for dinosaurs.



A blurry but smiling Ayson (he was bouncing ALL over the place with excitement)



Addie looked so adorable in the outfit that Grandpa Chuck gave her.  Mommy had on her boots, so Addie did too!



Addie enjoyed the big dinosaurs, especially when they moved, but her favorite part was the dinosaur bone "dig."



A purple dinosaur just the right size for Addie!



Ayson had fun in the bounce house section!



Addie playing her guitar!  She was rocking out on Saturday night :)



Excavating another dinosaur on Sunday!



A bit of Ayson's school work:
Mommy likes the stripes!



About the only snow we have these days...



Mommy asked Ayson about the below picture:  He was told he could draw whatever he wanted in art class, so he drew a rainbow and a treasure box (Mommy was unclear on the treasure box).
