-the boys were extra excited this morning as they both logged onto Minecraft and found that it had been updated with new stuff. Happy sounds were heard throughout the house:)

-Kyan wrote (well I did the actual writing, while he narrated the story to me) a story complete with illustrations titled 'The Adventure of Pirate Peg Leg and his Super Parrot'.

-I let the chickens out to free range, even though the garden is mostly covered in snow.

-found some arugula in the garden

winter sunflowers

-after stopping at the post office to ship off one of our geoboards to Maryland today, they boys and I headed to a nearby natural trail for a bit of winter fun

-While watching Damek's Jiu Jitsu class this evening Kyan drew the following:  an angry giant and an army of snails, a scene from Poptropica, the earth and a bunch of stars and an apple tree with someone standing beside it.  Currently (as I type this) he and Damek are illustrating a story with the angry birds characters in it and then they will narrate the story to me so that I can write it down.
