Games! Messes! And Chicken Chases!

Mom got this work table at Goodwill for Jonah yesterday and the

 boys set it up this morning so he could play with it.

Jonah was drinking "chocolate milk" he made, which consisted of chocolate syrup

 and nothing else. After that, he continued to smear Desitin all over his face.

So, while I gave him a bath, Mom and Jackson came up with 2 surprises

 for him. One of which was to drop a puff ball from a spoon into a

 cardboard tube then into a bowl set underneath it.

 It entertained him for about 2 minutes.

The second surprise was window art. Mom, Jack, and Kate filled

 zip lock bags with paint. They then taped them to the

 window\ and "finger painted" with them. Jonah

 was soo excited to try it!

While all of this is happening, the house is an absolute pit.

 I can even prove it. Here are the pictures...

The boys like to stuff things under the carpets to make ramps for their cars.

I decided to get out of the dirty house for awhile and

 take Jonah on a walk down to the building.

I bundled him up and off we went!

Oliver accompanied us on our walk. Favorite dog ever!!

Our "pet" chicken however is not as well behaved.

It's Jack's job to make sure the chicken stays in the coop and

 when he saw that she got out, he bolted straight out the door, without shoes or a

 coat, and went right after the chicken. Jonah joined in

 to help Jackson with the chase.

It ended up getting away... they will catch you next time, chicken!

When Jonah and I finally made it down to the building,

 we walked around and looked at things for awhile,

 then we headed outside to play in the snow!

An airplane flew over us and Jonah was so excited!

He kept pointing and going, vveeeerm.

We got cold, so we started the trek back up to the house.

Jonah kept trying to get Oliver to go back to the house with us.

 After awhile he finally relented.

 I love spending time with my little man!

"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless.

 He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the Lord?

 And who is the rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength

 and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of

 a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights.

2 Samuel 22:31-34
