Winter Blues Starting

I didn't write last week.  But there was a good excuse.  Throwing up with chills and muscle aches (a.k.a. the stomach flu) hit me and I could barely do anything for a couple days.  Bleh.  So glad that it's gone now.  The previous week nothing much happened.  It's in those final weeks (now just one day!) of Kyle's semester.  So he busies himself with projects.  He actually had the stomach flu earlier in the week, and as far as we know Dak never got it.

Dad taking a break and playing with us.

To help get Dexter away in the evenings get away from Kyle we finished up some of our Christmas shopping and just go window shopping too.  The stores weren't that busy which was nice.  And it's really easy to take an hour through Target, just hard not to buy anything.

Some awesome fog that rolled in on one of the really chilly mornings

It's only the beginning of winter and I'm starting to go crazy with how much Dex and I have to stay inside.  It'll be sunny and look so nice outside, but open that door and Bam!  cold.  It'll be a long winter.  But I'm trying new things to help liven up the day, and on those "warmer" days we do play outside.  Dak loves kicking a soccer ball around, or throwing other ones around.

Making silly faces

Beans and rice (will not do again)

Bath with glowsticks - awesome, and he had so much fun

New puzzle magnet books, finally can match them.  Just need to get him to fit them in the slots.

Figured out how to take off his PJ's.

Such a happy crazy boy.

Another thing we do is have him run around to get his energy out.  He loves to sprint down our hallway, and crash into dad.  Not mom, we tried, only dad.


Also...did you notice way up there.  Kyle only has one day (today) and then he's done with his projects and is a Master's graduate!!
