Moments

Friday moments with Soule Mama again. If you have a moment (or several) to share, please leave a comment with a link.

In the midst of the endless wintry-ness of January in NH, I was inspired one cold and snowy evening to introduce our big boy to finger paints. Unfortunately, he did not at all approve of dipping his finger into the paint.
"Wipe it off, mama."
So, being a quick-thinking and resourceful mama (i.e. not wanting to wipe his finger 17 times per minute), I provided him with Q-tip "brushes". Success!


Neat and tidy toddler.

In a less inspired mama moment, I got bleach on my brand-new shirt.



Dammit.

There are these wicked icicles hanging from our roof, just outside the boys' rooms.

That big one in the middle is easily five feet long.

We read wee tiny books, until we were exhausted.



Yes, he's resting his head on the shelf.


And we had moments of brotherly cuteness.

Where'd we get the sweet toybox? My uncles
made it for us. They rule.

The endless games of peek-a-boo continue.

As I mentioned last week, he cheats.

Happy Friday to you, and you, and you. Thank you for visiting. xo

    Oh, you gotta love OCD toddlers! Wait 'till he starts lining up all his textas according to colour, with the lids all facing the same way! (sadly they grow out of it just when they are old enought to start putting away their own clothes!)
    have a great weekend

    The Q-tip brushes are a great idea. I remember my little cousin using q-tips for those water painting books.

    Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment.

    Wow, those icicles are unbelievable!

    My boys didn't like finger painting either. Your blog brings back so many sweet memories of when my older two were little... good times, if a little chaotic! And yes, one kid at a time is nice once in a while. I couldn't believe how much quieter my house was the weekend my middle son was gone, and we only had two in the house again. Apparently, they were the quiet two. ;)

    What wonderful pictures. Your boys are so gorgeous. I love your oldest resting his head on the shelf while reading, and that last shot is an absolute classic - so cute.

    Thanks so much for sharing your moments! I've been itching to try finger paints with my little one - you may have inspired me to go for it! I'll keep the q-tip idea in mind. Enjoy your weekend.
