Brrrrrrr – things sure got chilly fast up here in the Windy City! Poor Henry caught a bit of a bug early in the week – Tuesday morning he even snuggled with Dad in bed for a little while. He rebounded for a fun trip to the train exhibit at the botanical gardens, which both he and Eleanor enjoyed. We have had some great moon rises the past few days, and both kids love to point out the moon when they see it. They get so excited that they start howling like a couple of wolves :)
On Sunday Lala brought over a gingerbread house for us to build – and we were much more successful than last year! Mom got out some sprinkles left over from valentines day and Eleanor and Henry had a blast making a fantastic mess! We got some snow on Sunday afternoon, and Eleanor and Dad had fun recreating “Cat in the Hat Comes Back” on the driveway while Henry was napping.
