blocks and cars

Jane and her friend Robert had a fun playdate the other day! They spent a long time building with blocks and using cars.

I think Robert and Malcolm look alike, so it was like having two Malcolms!

St. Patrick's Day

I guess I didn't take any photos of St. Patrick's Day except for this one of Malcolm at school.

The kids made leprechaun traps and he left them some Minecraft toys. For dinner we had the same thing as last year, vegetarian shepherd's pie and soda bread!

bowling

We had a fun time bowling with Rosalie and Nolan!

They liked the donuts afterwards, too!

cozy cat

I had to share this photo of Westie in Jane's lego box by the fire!

We went to a fun place this afternoon!

science museum

This morning we went out for breakfast and then to the science museum. The kids had fun running around Kendall Square since it was a big open space!

We hadn't been to the Butterfly Garden for a while. It was nice and warm!

We learned about road salt.

The Charles River doesn't freeze every winter, but it certainly is frozen this year.

Jane and I thought it looked like the yellow chick was in charge.

miscellaneous

Malcolm created a museum of animals on his wall with scotch tape.

Jane mostly knit this hat by herself!

There's so much snow, the squirrel baffle is giving him a nice place to stand and eat birdseed.

We tried out the lego club at the library.

It went well for a while but the chaos and noise bothered Jane, so we had to leave.

It did inspire her to use her legos at home, though!

We had an interesting visitor in our backyard.

Jane and her friend Maya made some cool designs with perler beads.

We went to the Discovery Science Museum with our friends Maddy and Hannah, and the kids liked the woodworking section.

Jane had fun celebrating Avery's birthday playing mini-golf!
