Before the snow...

Well our big snow storm weekend turned out to be a total bust.  Other than a few flurries on Friday afternoon, we didn't get any type of accumulation.  The snow pants went back in the basement for now.  And, to my surprise, school is canceled this morning due to inclement weather... apparently it was sleeting in the wee hours of the morning, but now it's just raining, so I'm unclear why school is completely canceled!  Normally school delays mean delays at the kid's club at the gym, so that is off the table for this morning... the only thing standing between me and cleaning bathrooms is this blog post, so I'm going to milk it!  These shots are from a week ago.  Brennan and Tyler have been driving around a lot together and Brian and I were jogging along to keep pace with them!  We recently drove by a Ford dealership and Brennan told me that's where his truck must have came from, since he recognized the Ford symbol.
I've been teaching Brennan a little bit about field hockey and he's been very interested in hitting the ball back and forth with me.  He's working on holding the stick properly and has started to get a few good hits in.  He's also practicing stopping the ball properly.  I have him using my indoor stick, which is lighter and easier for him to control.
Brennan tried riding his scooter down the backyard slope, but wasn't having much success.  However, Tyler also wanted to give it a try.  Kerry and Philip got Brennan a razor scooter for Christmas, so this may be perfect timing for the three wheel scooter to move to Tyler while Brennan graduates to the two wheeler.
The Pecorinos got me a new entryway bench for Christmas (Brian bought me the hanging shelf) and Tyler has been quite amused by this new feature in the house!  Our entryway is looking much more organized than the mess of shoes and jackets that were constantly scattered around the coat rack.
The boys have been watching the Madagascar movies all week.  They love their cuddle-uppets blankets.  Those blankets have gotten far more use than I imagined when I put them on their Christmas wish list!  Tyler is adorable and makes a woof sound whenever he sees the puppy on the blanket (or any dog!)  He can also tell you what a cow says and will say meow and quack if you ask him to!  He really tries to repeat any sound you ask him to say.
Brennan has been enjoying seeing the moon in the daytime, which we've been seeing quite a bit of lately!
