Plenty of basement playing. the boys play hockey, ride bikes and scooters and do whatever they think up for hours on end...seriously!
Playing on their Nugget, aka the world's best Christmas present. it can be anything they imagine but they mostly like to make "obstacle courses" which translates to the boys running full steam at the Nugget and jumping on it, over and over and over. ;)
A few good snow days! Jake has asked a few times when we'll get more snow because we haven't had much good snow that they can play in. thankfully we did get one good sledding day in! This was Reid's first time sledding on a major hill and of course, he was all about it. Jake surprised me and loved trying to spin around on the sled as he went down the hill! He also tried to wreck into the snow every time too. :)
The next afternoon there was still enough snow for Deric to come up with this very creative snow fort! You know that was a huge hit for the boys!
Moving Reid into a toddler bed in Jake's bed! He did so well with that transition. The boys talk to each other at night but they haven't kept each other up too late. Its fun to listen to their conversations over the monitor.
A donut date with each of my boys! sprinkles are the favorite for both of them.
Lots of games from the library! We've always got at least one game on hand and we all love to play them. Blokus is a favorite for me and Jake; Sequence for Kids is a great one for the whole family to play together. Deric and I had a Qwirkle tournament a few weekends ago and played best out of three. I managed to win one night and that's the best I've ever done in a game against Deric. Good thing I'm not competitive. ;)
Bouncing and running 'til they drop at Flip Zone (a gymnastics gym) and Sky Zone (a trampoline park) over a long weekend in February.
Finding fun activities (thanks to Pinterest & Instagram) to do together! I love gathering the boys around the table with something new and interesting they can discover together. We're just beginning to teach Reid his letters and Jake does a lot of number activities since his reading is so solid right now. The boys obviously love activities like these and I also like finding ones that will teach them new skills and be entertaining at the same time!
Puzzles are one of Reid's favorite things right now! Lots of puzzles happen while Jake is at preschool and Reagan is napping...or not napping and watching the fun from my lap or her playmat.
And then there's this, just because... :)
