Crash

Just a quick 5 second video... I love his laugh!




He has a weekly playdate with his friend Regan at our house and this one instance I took this to the park to go sledding after school.

Busy Weekend

 It was a busy weekend here. This top picture is of him holding his Valentine box that he made for 4H meeting and for the Valentine party at school this week. It is a Pokeball. I will I will be telling about how I made it on my blog tomorrow.

 Here's a collection of pictures of him at the Science Museum of Minnesota. The kids have some different interest so I went with him to explore while his sister went with their dad. Then we joined up to watch a couple of shows and go see an omnifest movie.

 This next picture is from the Saint Paul Winter Carnival. It's pretty neat to see what they can make out of ice.

 This is Henry's table at our 4-H meeting working on their science experiment. Each table had a different liquid to test and see what it would do to M&Ms and Skittles.

 And this picture is of him dissecting a heart and by dissecting a heart I mean he completely destroyed this guy was hard. This was his first class at Shattuck Saint Mary's. They offer these monthly science classes. He is technically a little young for it yet but I know the teacher and she had said he was fine to take it.

This I just had to share as well. I think there was a couple more pictures I took that he was moving too much and his face was blurred but I was trying so hard to get a picture and he just kept being a goofball.

Sledding with his 2nd Grade teacher

Here is a picture of him with his 2nd grade teacher. They are outside and ready to go down the sledding hill together. The kids in his grade who made their 2nd quarter reading goal got to participate in a sledding party one afternoon and he asked her to ride with him first. She is just a wonderful teacher and he really likes her.

Sledding Videos

There is one more very short sledding video on sister's blog, but here is one of Henry and one of both of them.

Snow Day on 2/22

Sledding with Henry's Friends @ RBNC

42 Degrees on Feb. 13th

It was a beautiful day at 42 degrees in February. It's a nice break from the cold & wind and we are supposed to have this kind of weather all week.

We got to Straight River Park to go sledding and play on the playground. We miss the park.

This aftenoon, some friends came over to play with us in or yard and we got out the bikes & other ride on toys, some balls, chalk, swings in the garage. It was good to be able to play in the driveway again without worrying about slipping on ice.

Sledding at West Hills

We went sledding with our playgroup at West Hills. We had actually planned to go to a different park to go sledding, but apparently the city chose not to maintain that park for sledding this winter. But because of the convenience of cell phones we were able to get information of the location change to everyone planning to come. We had an ok turnout with 4 moms and 1 dad and 8 kids, but that is what happens during the winter months when you have a playgroup with a variety of ages of kids, some of the little ones just can't be outside too long in the cold and moms are reluctant to deal with all the extra clothes needed and the extra work of pulling kids around in a sled. But we didn't let that stop us. We had fun and it was such a perfect January day to be sledding; I wish more days were like that one.

Snow Play

So, here are Henry's pictures. He's still not sure about the cold & snow, but it's growing on him. He loves to be pulled around in his sled. Yesterday I had to switch his to Isabel's old pink Columbia gloves (not pictured) so that he had warmer, thicker gloves on when he is touching the snow. He doesn't care that they are pink and I just care that they are warm.
