Henry and Ellis have been doing some fun things to stay busy this winter.
Henry was inspired with the idea of making these snowmen cake pops, which turned out to be pretty cute and very yummy. I love Henry's constant flow of fun ideas!
Ellis has been playing a lot with his landmark toys that he got for Christmas.
I am delighted that he recognizes and loves the Taj Mahal, the Parthenon, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa (I thank The Little Einsteins for 99% of this).
And this is the one that makes me REALLY happy: my boys love each other, play together, and have lots of adventures together (that's not to say it doesn't always end up in fighting with each other - but we enjoy the happy playing while it lasts!). Ellis and I both rejoice when Henry is sick, because it means he gets to stay home and play with Ellis! Henry had two days off school last week, and the two of them had such a good time together - playing with cars, setting up little imaginary projects, etc. In this picture, they were setting up a birthday party for Francesco.
Lastly, the boys were very pleased to be able to go out and spend some of the money they got as Christmas gifts. Henry chose some paper airplane Valentines, which are pretty cool . . .
. . . but Ellis' "Barack-o-rama" magnetic dress-up set was the biggest hit!
I feel only slightly uncomfortable seeing our President wearing boxer shorts and a wife beater -- a feeling that is accounted for by how cool he looks as a super hero. :)

YES! Once again I am left at the end of an Iverson post with only the words "oh wow" in my head.
I love those picutres of your boys playing together. I also love that picture of Ellis sitting on your box. Because I know that box. That is your box. I don't know Ellis, but it makes him seem more yours since he is on that box.
