Cleaner

Last night Declan was eagerly awaiting his dad’s return from Japan. He decided he needed to clean up a bit around the house for him. First he picked up his toys. We put new sheets and blankets on his bed. Then he cleaned the kitchen floor for me!

 

All that hard work deserved a hot cocoa with whipped cream and a marshmallow snowman. 

Preschool activities

Declan had cooking day at preschool! He made a little polar bear! 

He also painted this picture. It’s a snowman wearing headphones. 

Adventure!

Declan asked to go on an adventure this morning. We packed up our beach stuff and headed to Richmond Beach to enjoy the sand and pirate ship playground! 

We made an awesome castle with a moat! Declan used a stick to try catching a salmon or octopus! 

Last we did the pirate ship playground. Declan loved the tunnel slide. 

Declan worked up an appetite for Costco pizza. He ate the whole thing! 

Artist

Declan is an incredible artist. More and more he’s enjoying drawing on his own with out any direction or instruction. He often asks to see a picture and then draws based on what he sees. He’s very talented and creative. Incredible Hulk

Mickey Mouse of course!

Ski lessons

Declan and Elias had their third and fourth ski lesson while Brad, Scott and Pop were in Japan. Kristine, Mao and I took the four boys up to the cabin on Friday night. Saturday morning the little boys stayed with Mao.  Kristine and I took Elias and Declan up to the pass for their lessons. The boys with coach Lauren

Back at the cabin we played with some filters on my phone. 

The following Friday we came up again for lessons. There was about 5” of snow at the cabin.  After dinner we made a snowman and played with the new cabin neighbor kids. 

Declan named his snowman Pop 

Saturday morning Kristine and I loaded up the boys and headed to the pass again. The pass was crazy busy due to all the new snow.

Movie Day

Declan and I had a movie date while Brad was skiing in Japan. We went to see Ferdinand and had popcorn. We had a great day and loved the movie. Wesley stayed with Mao. 

Scuttlebutt

We had one last family dinner at Scuttlebutt before Brad left for Japan! 

Swimming lessons

Declan had his first private swimming lesson on Wednesday. He was marvelous! He listened really well to his instructor and was swimming with big arms!

Preschool Pals

Today was Declan’s first day of preschool pals. He was so excited he was up at 420 in the morning getting ready! Here he is! 

 

Here’s Declan signing in on his first day: 

I picked up Declan at 11. He was excited to tell us that he sang songs, played with new friends, had circle time, made an awesome robot drawing and ate his snack. 

 

To celebrate his success we walked up to  Frost and ate a donut and read stories! 

Last we went to the library to choose new books! 

We came home to relax and do some hand art!
