Back to the regular weekly schedule of school, lessons, and work has been a lot for this week !  Lincoln completely crashed at bedtime after his first day back.  It was eerily quiet that he wasn't coming out of his room a million times asking for art supplies.  We got back to normal after a day or two, and he handcuffed himself to the Ninja Turtle Lair.  The handcuffs from Leo's birthday party have been lots of fun!

Daddy had an extremely cold adventure this week!  He spent the week in Detroit, Indianapolis, and Cincinnati . . . to say it was cold is a complete understatement!!!  A wind chill of -16 is just wrong!!!    He was happy to get back to Dallas where the wind chill was only 24!  How long until summer?  Glad to have him back home for a while!

Lincoln spent some time crafting with plastic spoons and pipe cleaners before bed.  He made a tiger, a lizard, and a zebra (not pictured).   

Beau did a little imaginative crafting of his own . . . a plastic beer boot, a green frog, and a flashlight made for an "International Big Shooter"!  It's not clear what he's shooting in his room, but as long as he stays in there until he crawls into bed to sleep . . . whatever!! 

It's still really cold, and that isn't changing for a few days.   Clearly, Lincoln and Beau know how to create awesome activities to entertain themselves.  At least we aren't iced in (with no power)!!!!!
