VERY Busy


I decided Levi needed a few new outfits and he is so dang cute in them!

He doesn’t mind that he gets nowhere. It’s that big kid feeling that matters. 

No idea why this game required cooking racks, but he was very occupied for a very long time. 

His hairs are getting out of control. 

Turns out he loves cloud dough. 





Lewis taught him to eat snow. 

His new favorite place to sit during screen time. 




He scooped and dumped lots of times before he realized it was edible. 



Levi is a champion mask wearer! The secret is the binki underneath. 

He did this all by himself. 

The ankles crossed...

He wore one glove for quite a while one afternoon. 



Levi loves this owl. It was packed away in the basement with my fall decor. When I put up all of the Valentine’s Day decorations, he specifically asked me where the owl was. How do you not dig out the owl when your toddler makes the cutest owl sound and then puts his palms up and starts looking everywhere for it?!


Who doesn’t eat their still-frozen waffle off of a paintbrush? He gets really upset if we toast it. Frozen. Waffle. Only. 



He gave this Valentine with a puppy on it a lot of hugs. Thanks GAP!

Levi also makes the cutest helicopter noises. 

Lewis and Levi like to listen to music in the morning and do some dancing. 




OT Homework - Eyes

























Time Together


Watching the Inauguration of President Biden

Taking turns doing their math facts apps. Levi doesn’t do tablet work...he just likes to do whatever the bros are doing. 

OT homework 

More OT homework

Hanging with grandma

Fresh books from the library 

Daddy worked late and Mommy didn’t cook...pizza and a movie. 

Stepping Stones


I’ve been wanting stepping stones for the boys for a long time and I finally found what I was looking for! 







I also bought the balance board that goes with the stepping stones because of all the fun combinations they create.

Projects

We’re working on organizing and purging in the basement to prepare for a lot of work to be done on the basement walls. Time to give them a tune up at 90 years old. 

I’ve been working on putting a little beef back into our diet, for everyone but Levi. This chili was made with Dr. P beef. And Kim made me runzas! And the shaved beef that Aldi has been stocking makes amazing stir fry. 

I did a little revamp on the playroom just to boost morale and change things up a bit. I’ve always gone for maximum storage, but now that we have so much room, I decided to go for cute/fun display. 

The boys got some Christmas money from Uncle Steve (thanks Steve!) so we put it toward OT equipment for home. It’s from Germany, so it won’t be here until the end of January/beginning of February. Germany makes so many cool toys. 
I haven’t done much with the living room since we moved in, but the new green couch and the pieces from my grandparents have inspired me a bit. We finally found some bookshelves that fit on either side of the fireplace (built ins are WAY too expensive), but IKEA only had one in stock. I’m going to go with green/white/wood/gold decor. Now I have to figure out how to magically make the maroon chairs not maroon. (You know you have enough Christmas decorations when you’re too tired to redecorate the mantle once all the holiday decor is finally put away.)

Brothers

It’s been making me sad lately that there’s no easy way for the boys to be with friends. It makes me very glad they have each other.
