It's been waaay too long!

Okay, oops. Haven't posted here in ages.  A couple of quick hilarious things I don't want to forget: 

Mitch has been sick today (coughing and sneezing) and he just overheard me on the phone with his auntie saying how sick he is.  I said, "no, he doesn't have a fever." And he sat right up and said, "wait! I need a mama theater! (Thermometer)" :)

Found this heap of Finn in the garden today when I opened the back door :)

Main pastime the past few weeks: Santa and reindeer with sled (or laundry basket) and a jump rope.  Hours of entertainment!

My little Finn and his snowman "Robin".

"Mom, do I have any food on my face?"  Um, just a little buddy.

Ice rink is up and running!

Camping - Erie

The latest...

Latest Mitchisms:
-Says "i thought you were my friend!" Any time he gets in trouble/ gets yelled at.
-Calls Ninjas "injas"
-After singing twinkle twinkle "mom, that rocked."
-Loves doing "the funny things" before bed - where he squishes my face and makes me say different words.

-Also loves the game where I "call him food". E.g. I ask if he's cookies or brownies and when he answers I say, "oh! I LOVE _______" and pretend to nibble his tummy :)
-Hides every morning and after every nap under his pillow pet and yells at us to get out because he's not ready yet (20 more minutes!)
-Wakes up pretending to be a different animal every day: a cat, a dog, today: a "slog" (sloth)

Finn:
-Missing most catches at tball b/c he's compulsively giving me the thumbs up sign from the field 
-"creditors" for predators when talking about animals
-learning to swim and getting so brave in the water from watching friends and cousins
-loves reading chapter books w/me before bed.  right now: castle in the attic
-loves playing with the big kids (especially Jack and Dylan) - splashing in the water near the big kids at the pool today pretending he's  playing with them :)
