Catch-up is crazy!

So the origami calendar was put on hold when we ended up taking Ben to the hospital following his overheating episode, which although showing as posting today was actually supposed to post 2 weeks ago! He is now doing much better!! He had some kind of virus and it just hit him really hard and was kinda scary! On a brighter note, with all the snow we got in the last few days, Ben had his first adventure in the snow! 
I pulled him around in a cardboard makeshift sled so he could enjoy being outside. He didn't entirely enjoy it though...
But he does make the cutest tiniest snow angel!! 
Overall it was a success and he was able to have some fun too! Look at that smile!!
And look at that snowman! 

On a calendar note, Noah and I had a marathon folding session this morning! He thoroughly enjoyed helping and tried in vain to get me to do more...he was very cute begging though. So here's our shots from this morning! 
Grasshopper:
A kite base:
A baby bunny:
A yacht: (Noah called it a yack!)
Some helpful tips! Aka extra paper...
Easy tree:
Aka weird paper airplane.
Simple penguin:
Very proud of himself!
Helmet base:
Cat finger puppet:
Puppy finger puppet:
Excited to play with his new puppets:
More random (and boring) tips...aka even more extra paper:
And lastly, today's cupboard base:
Nothing too exciting, but the puppy and cat finger puppets were a hit with all and are now exploring the rest of the house...now to go have hot cocoa while the kids go back outside into the snow! One more day off school!

  1. Hope Ben is feeling better and hopefully all of your kids are having fun on their snow days. How many inches did you all get? We got 16 in Chesterfield and school is still closed due to not all the neighborhoods getting plowed and school parking lots aren't all clear yet. I like reading your blog keep it up.
