2.1.18

Miles is always helping do dishes. Too bad it makes it take 10x longer and I always have to clean up a mess. 

Miles likes this little table for playdough so we are always using playdough on it. 

Miles is cooking in his toy kitchen. He doesn't use this nearly as much as I had hoped. 

I was trying to be productive in the basement and look over and find Miles this high up the ladder!

Well, I was looking for something so I was digging through every single box. I guess that counts as being productive. (I did not find it!)

I got another picture before I took him down. 

In the boxes I was going through, I found Ella's old laptop. Miles pulled that right out and was playing with it. 

Miles briefly went in Ella's cardboard box house. 

Miles was in the corner and I went back to being productive. 

Leaving him alone to keep digging for stuff was a big mistake. He got to my watercolor crayons, he unwrapped a few, and he broke one. 

Apparently Poly needed a kleenex blanket. 

Climbing is always happening here. 

So I was snapping a few pics before I realized that Miles was about to dump the drink on Ella.  He got her a little bit!

I got 2 new hoodies at the mall! I got them at Athleta. They were more expensive than I'd want but I looked and looked and sleeve length is awful so I figured I'd get them!  One of the hoodies is actually a light jacket for outside but then my hoodie won't always be used once it gets a little warmer. 

Poly just let  Ella pick her up. I couldn't believe it. Then I was telling Ella how to better hold her.

Miles loves to shovel. No snow. No problem. Warm weather so no coat = even better. 

 Two shovels!

Miles has been feeding himself yogurt since Sam's club didn't have yogurt pouches. He'd rather feed himself yogurt than use a yogurt tube. But he turns the spoon and makes a mess down his bib. I usually grab a spoon and put that back in the container. 

 Miles was helping mop.

Miles woke up from nap and was extremely hot. He wanted to sleep longer but he was too warm. I guess warm weather + sleep sack + 3 blankets + clothes was too much for him. 

Salami, cream cheese, and crackers was a good snack.

More yogurt. 

 Before getting Ella, Miles and I did some cooking.

Miles wanted chicken nuggets. 

He was very sad that we were having other food and not chicken nuggets. 

Ella's sculptures from school. 

Miles had 2 plates of pasta. He had pasta with meat sauce in the big compartment and some with butter in the smaller compartments. He had seconds of both and thirds of the meat sauce pasta. 

Ella just had pasta with butter.

 Miles sat by Dave. Then Ella joined them. I tried to get a picture. It didn't go that well.

Finally I got one of Dave and Miles.
