Dresser

I finished painting Benjamin's new dresser. It came from my Grandmothers house and I really like it. Joseph rebuilt and fixed the bottom drawer and now it fits perfectly in Ben's room. I originally intended to paint several coats but the because the dresser is old the wood absorbed much of the paint and created a crackle-type finish. I like it and think I'll leave it as is.

We are getting a huge snow storm. We probably have a foot of snow already and are expecting that much more tonight. The roads will be closing at 6 pm. I think we will enjoy a quiet night at home.

Green Hat

We have been spending some time in Ben's bedroom this week. I have been painting his bedroom furniture. He has been arranging his animals. These are his favorites. Baby, woof, and Grover. Grover plays his sax. Monkey would make the list of favorites (the monkey from his birth-mom, and the one from Aunt Gina), but they didn't make the pictures.

Mascara

I went downstairs to get something and was only gone 1 minute. In that time frame my cute little 2 year old went into the bathroom rummaged through my makeup bag and decided that he needed to apply mascara to his eyebrows and sweatpants. He met me at the top of the stairs saying look mommy. It is amazing to me what he can manage to do in a minute or two.

We have enabled comments on the blog. I studied up on comment moderation and find that will work for us. Thanks everyone for your kind words in emails about our cutie. Benjamin is the best!

Blast Off!

We spent the afternoon playing in the living room with Benjamin. First we played with cars then Daddy initiated the countdown to blast off.
Benjamin thought it was fun!

Carrousel ride
