In no particular order...
Our photo card reader is broken, hence the lack of pictures and posts. We now have one that semi works so here are a bunch of posts in no particular chronological/importance order. Katherine and Kailey are here visiting and everyone but me is napping, so as hard as it is for me to do, I'll be brief.
Gluing stuff.

John, Ilka, Dylan and Morgan came to visit, bearing gifts from their travels through DC, Rochester, and elsewhere. John read about Tim's sadness at his inability to get Two Buck Chuck here in MD, so he came with a whole case just for him that he got from a TJs in VA. John almost got lucky that day (Tim was super happy about the 2BC).
We all went to eat at a Greek restaurant that Tim and I had been wanting to try, and we also went to the park one day when it was bitter cold. Mostly we hung out and the kids played. Then on Saturday morning we received the other gift they brought us, a stomach bug-they thought it was long gone but there must have been some sneaky viral particles hanging around on their person or possessions. I got it first, then Gus. It was Gus's first real barfing illnesss and it really wasn't that bad. As he was telling me he wanted another blueberry blintze he was barfing, so apparantly he didn't feel that bad. From their description, I think John and Ilka had it worse than we all did, so it must have mutated on it's way to Maryland. So Dylan and John left to drive home on Saturday as scheduled and instead of Ilka and I getting to hang out and shop until she flew out on Sunday, I slept the day away and poor Ilka cooked us dinner and chicken soup. Overall, the bug wasn't that bad at all and really only lasted a day and a half for us. No biggie but it really blew that we didn't get to hang out more.
Dylan and Gus hard at work cooking. Gus is in his pjs...as always. But at least he has clothes on!
Cooking on the oven that Bre and I built. I was going to buy one but the ones I found in stores and online were 1) expensive 2) short yet huge 3) plastic 4) fug and tacky 5) pink, so Brandi and I made this simple oven for under $40. Before now the kids would use our antique pie safe as an oven.
Dylan, John, Ilka and Morgan at the park when it was cold.
This is where Gus likes to throw rocks into the water (for hours). This day his hands got cold because he wouldn't wear his gloves (of course) so he melted down because his hands began hurting and so we went home. I think he was still tired from Bre's visit. He took a nap, then we had a successful dinner at the Greek restaurant. Morgan was like the little brother in A Christmas Story and couldn't walk well because of all the layers of clothes.

Painting with Tim.
Bre and Gus painting - and Gus in PJs yet again. It's about 5 PM and he's still in PJs. Getting him to change into clothes (and leave them on) is an ordeal and an exercise in futility. The second I turn my back he's in his underwear again. Hanna Andersson makes a fortune off of us in sleepwear because he wears it all day like regular clothes. And I'm in big trouble because there's an actual HA store at the mall 5 minutes from me. Must ...resist...buying ...Gus clothes... (not that he'd wear them anyway).
Painting a treasure chest for Kailey.
The finished product. Ta daaaaaaaaaa!
