Lazy

Here's a few pictures, cause I know you crave the cuteness.
A couple weeks ago I took the boys to Como Park Zoo and Conservatory, while Orrin played broomball. Silas took his job feeding the animals very seriously.

Meanwhile, Emmet roamed around brandishing nylabones intended to feed the tiger. Apparently, I need to feed the boy more meat. (Is it just me, or does he look like MacGyver in this picture?)

When they aren't wreaking havoc in the greater Twin Cities area, they occupy their time just fine in the pantry.

The toys they got for Christmas were just not enough...they really needed the toys in the sea shipment. So when arrived, Silas went to great lengths to find the box containing the train set. (This is a fraction of the boxes, so can I please be excused from not posting so often?)

And finally, because I was getting so much flack for Emmet having a baby mullet we finally cut his hair.


Of course Silas got a haircut as well. I didn't realize how wild it had become until I look back at the pictures of him above.

My regular computer is back up, and most everything is out of boxes. We're busy going to the library, ECFE class, swim lessons, and music class. It was warm enough this weekend to go outside without the threat of instant frostbite. Orrin made me a compost tumbler from a 55 gallon plastic drum. Our next project is a duck enclosure for the four ducks that will soon be joining us.
