After Christmas

Samuel has really started to move around quickly and he can stand himself up anywhere. You think he is in one room and you turn your head to find him somewhere else... he particularly likes the ball ornaments on the tree.. He can also open our cupboards!! Man that happened fast!!

Boxing Day had a bit of snow so after some bed jumping (yes the boys have been in their new underwear the last few days, not that Tom is even close to being toilet trained!!), they headed outside to make a snowman and a fort with mama. This is a picture of Tom jumping on the remains of the snowman/unicorn who only survived a few minutes. Thankfully we have gotten more snow in the last 2 days and it is starting to feel more like our regular winter. Inside Matthew has been working with his "magic potions" that he got from santa. Today he got to play with the coloured jelly crystals that he grew and he made some instant snow. Ben loves to watch him. Thomas keeps getting his guitar out so we have been dancing and singing to music each day. Papa got to play lego games with the older boys on Monday before he started his night shift. Matthew also spent quite some time face painting (and body painting) himself and his 2 brothers!! After 3 days at home, the kids are asking to go outside in the stormy weather... even Ben!! They came back in as it got dark by 5 pm today. Friends are invited over for most of the next days so that should be alot of fun. Hope everyone is making the best of the weather. The MacNeills
