Storyville


A couple of Sundays ago we spent the afternoon at Storyville, a Baltimore library set up which houses a fabulous playspace for kiddos with lots of different zones. There's a pretend store, pretend theater, a pretend construction site, all in amazing condition, with tons of toys and books all over.

It's amazing. And free. And even open on Sunday afternoons!

Here are some shots of our happy guys playing.





Eitan had his pants on backwards. HAHA. This is what we get for letting him get dressed himself.

Happy Boy

Levav has been so flippin' cute nowadays. He just loves being cuddled and has been doing some silly little tricks to get a laugh from us. His favorite is putting things over his head. It is also terrifying and unsafe, so obviously this attention loving boy does it more:)

All the Kings Horses and All the King's Men...

Finally put Levavi's room back together again.

See?



This poor humpty dumpty of a room has had burst pipe virtual raining into it, ruined carpeting, lost it's ceiling, had asbestos tiles pulled out, new concrete sub floor put in, but finally after a few days more then a month of being out of commission, it's back and better then ever.



So we are still missing an AC vent that went missing during demo, and haven't hung up the new light yet, but the whole month I was focused on little ways we can make the room back and make it even better.

Everything is back, and I added in a little home made bunting above the crib, and put a new area rug in. The rug was in Eitan's room in DC and until Tuesday, and it was just sitting in the attic. It's totally not necessary in this wall to wall carpeted room, but I like having some more color and pattern in there. And it matches the bunting that I am super proud of crafting, so win-win.

We are thrilled to have the boys each in their own room again. Levers doesn't wake up Eitan before 6am anymore, and Eitan doesn't have to be evicted from his room during early bedtimes or naps. While we love the idea of putting them in the same room eventually, for now, having them separated again is doing wonders for our (and their) sleep.

Also, one silly snow day picture. Yes, another snow day, and yes this is as close to the snow as we got today!

Brotherly Love!

Every once and a while we catch these moments of glee between the boys. It's wonderful and makes my day! 

The thing about being a mom to a baby and a toddler (or are they a toddler and a preschooler now?) is that the minutes can be so hard, but at the end of the day, when they're asleep, I miss being around them so much.
 
But that's just me, so you can just enjoy the pictures of the best moments!

This Is What Happens...

When a three year old commandeers your phone!


Love him anyways. And was relived that he didn't erase all my contacts or call India. What a happy little surprise to find this shot on my camera roll.
