This & That

 

Lewis has been asking to play in rice and I finally remembered to buy 10lbs at HyVee. It usually lasts a year, and we were due for a fresh bag, and it was a fuel saver item to boot.  

I had put two valentines in the hutch that Augustine gave me so as not to loose them in the shuffle. I just remembered to open them, and here's one of them (above). Isn't it lovely, and very similar to the poop emoji? (He has never seen that emoji because I would never hear the end of it.) It made me laugh.  

Found this color match/sort game for $5. I knew Lewis would like it. We will get $5 of fun out of it.  

My mom made all of their stockings (and mine too). Aren't they beautiful? And so much work. I think Augustine's has over 100 pieces. 

This morning at Mass Augustine tapped me on the shoulder and handed me a bloody front tooth. Super ew, but also super exciting! I believe it's #4 to come out. It's bittersweet to see his baby teeth fall out because he was a terrible teether. It was so.much.work to get those teeth in, only to have them fall out 6 years later. *sigh* But he's growing and healthy so it's good. (Awesome photo credit: Logan)   

Logan took this one too and said "Isn't he just so cute?!" Agreed. He's just so cute in the backward hat, Mass clothes, golashes, and Earl May popcorn bag. It's his favorite place to go, Earl May. He used some of his Valentine's Day money to buy birdseed because he wants to watch the birds eat. We will make a little feeder this week. Probably a few different kinds.  

I have this photo of all my boys. Comparison post to come.  

He liked the house set too. I watched the Oscars a lot longer than I thought I'd get to because he was so happy playing.  

They spent time at Grandma Susan's and did quite a bit of stamping. Such concentration.   

And what G&G visit would be complete without saying Mass a few dozen times?! We seem to have multiple Liturgical seasons happening at the same time here, but meh.
