Wee Mail

I will be the first to admit I am the worst at reading all the papers Baylor brings home and getting everything done on time or complete.  Apparently the first two weeks of the month was some Wee Mail event.  I read it on the second week and after Baylor had received a letter from Kartikey.  So we did our part and responded to him.  Baylor drew a picture of them together and then wrote him a nice letter.  We put it in an envelop and sent it to school in his folder.

Botanical Snowman

When I picked Baylor up at COF he showed me his peg leg.  


Saturday morning we headed to Mom's because I needed to go shopping for a few things I know I can easily find in her area.  Baylor stayed at their house watching movies with Buddy while Mom and I went shopping.  When we got back I played outside in the snow with him.  We had brought our sled and the snow was perfect for a few sled rides, a few snowball fights and a snowman.  I gathered bits of flower heads and branches to decorate our botanical snowman.  




Dad came out to see the snowman and Baylor took the opportunity to throw a snowball at him.  Thankfully Buddy just threw one back with better aim though.  


We wanted to be home for dinner so we packed up the sled and headed home.  


The sunset was beautiful the whole way home.  



And still pretty when we arrived home.  


And our snowman in the back is still standing, although a bit smaller in general.

No Need for a Sled When You Have Your Butt

We had to take Baylor to a specialist in Hershey to have a certain boy body part checked out.  It is all good and nothing to worry about but we are glad we went just to know.  


He had to miss most of the morning Kindergarten but I wanted to make sure he was there for the rest of class.  On the way back to the car we let him play on the snow covered hill.  He walked up 


And slid on his butt down.  


And he did it a few times.  



We do whatever small things we can to fill him up.

Babies Under Wraps

Julie sent me a photo of Lochlan in a baby wrap I had given her.  She said she needed to work on turning him around so I found photos of Baylor enjoying our trip to Shelburne Museum when he was nine months old.  


Look at that big, beautiful, bald head!  I loved having him in the wray and when he was tired, I turned him around and tucked his head in and we finished our tour with him cuddled next to me.

Spikes


Gloria picked up Baylor after school and they went out for lunch and haircuts.  Baylor specifically asked for spikes.  They put something in his hair that made it crunchy spikey.  He loved it and kept making sure it was spiked up by running his fingers through his hair.  Super cutie!  



Meme and Pap were over for the night because they had an appointment on Wednesday.  Meme helped Baylor with his homework.  It was nice having a little break from it!!  


I made sure Baylor saw the beautiful full moon that was right out our front door.  It was gorgeous!

Full Moon Selfie time!!

First Report Card

When I left work there was a bank of clouds blocking out the setting sun.  It was very dramatic and beautiful  


And still beautiful when we got home.   


Baylor brought home his first report card.  He is doing very well in everything, nothing needs improvement.  I found it funny that under his work habits he exceeds expectations in Accepts responsibility for behavior.  I often hear that and that he will apologize to a teacher later for how they or he was behaving. Awwwwww

All You Can Eat Churros

When we were at Toys R Us we bought The Book of the Dead DVD because I have wanted to see it since it came out.  Baylor and I watched it when we got home and again first thing in the morning.  While he was watching it in the morning I made a batch of churros for us to try.  One of the lines in the movie is, "All you can eat churros!!' and I have been wanting to try them.  Baylor and I loved them. Gloria, not so much but she does not like cinnamon.  Good movie and good breakfast!
