February Adventures

Pinterest
So, I decided to go on to Pinterest and look for some crafty ideas to do with Samuel. It came down to a can of shaving cream, some messy hands and a creative mind. We had fun making train tracks in the foam and drawing silly pictures. It was a lot of fun.





Thomas Sleeps?
Even the greatest of engines have to sleep at some point. 



Valentines Cookies
This year we made a batch of valentines cookies but this time I let Samuel get a little creative. Can you guess what this is?............What? You didn't guess GARBAGE TRUCK? 



I also learned a new decorating technique at a ladies church activity. It was quite fun.


Cold Park Days
Who says you can't go to the park in February even though you freeze your bum off while doing so. A little sun comes out and us Washingtonians HAVE to go outside to soak up our vitamin D. We went to a park next to Kyan's work so that he could join up with us. 





Date Night
We decided it was time to go have a little fun with just the two of us. We got a babysitter, drove to Seattle and enjoyed a wonderful evening. We got dinner and then enjoyed a walked down to the Pier to ride on the Seattle Great Wheel. It was a great night full of spontaneous fun.





Blocks & Diggers
If you didn't know this already then you should know now that you can't build with blocks without your diggers nearby. I mean, come on, it's a given right?! I love this boy of mine. He loves building and creating. He's not one to build simply to tear down. He is all about his creations. I love that.

Open Your Mouth Wide!

Samuel had his first dentist appointment. I tried to talk it up a few days prior so that he would be really excited about visiting the dentist. IT WORKED! He loved it. 



He had no problem with the Dental Hygienist working in his mouth. It helped that he could watch a show. He LOVES watching shows probably because I don't let him watch many. But hey, whatever keeps a young kid happy at the dentist. He even got to pick TWO toys because he was so good. :) 


Ethan was great during our visit. Though, he didn't seem quite as excited for Samuel's new experience as his Mommy. :)
