January....

...has gotta be the worst month of the year.  Cold, rainy, dreary! Peyton's had a cold all week (now Olivia has it too).  He stayed hom from school on Monday and he layed low for a day or two.

Resting and reading books

 We've been hanging out inside a lot this week and when Peyt's not in school I try to keep him busy and he LOVES to help me around the house.

He washed all the dishes by hand after we made a vanilla pound cake.

He always loves to help vacuum

Olivia playing with her letter magnets

She's really loving stuffed animals and anything soft or cuddly.

 Today while I was working on some birthday crafts for Olivia's party, Peyton did some Valentine's Day crafts.

Working on patterns and making a Valentine heart chain.  He chose a 6,3,6,3 color pattern.

Practicing spelling L.O.V.E.

Every morning he will pull off a heart as a countdown to Valentine's Day.

And he chose to hang up his love picture in Olivia's room above her changing table so she can see it.
