And here is our daughter-sweetie, fashionista, and...tom boy! 
One of her latest favorite things to do, "make coffee" in the fridge. She pushes the button over and over and over again...Look at her workin' those calves!
Here he is, Bob Vila. Ty has had a slew of infatuations over the past several months (cars, Jeeps, puzzles, and of course the ON GOING vacuum obsession!), but none as profound as tools and handywork. From tinkering around the house with Daddy hanging pictures, changing light bulbs, tightening loose hinges/cabinet doors and hanging and rehanging clocks to the more involved projects with Grandpa like assembling shelves or using the drill or brad gun, Ty gets various opportunities to hone his handyman skills. Up until this weekend, he was mostly wielding plastic toy tools, but any self-respecting Mr. Fix It will tell you these just don't cut it! So, Ty received his VERY OWN tool bag with REAL tools...
As soon as he laid his hands on those shiny screwdrivers, he went around the house finding every single Philips and Flathead screw he could and loosened it to scary proportions! I found several hinges hanging dangerously on by ONE screw, the other 2 having been loosened by our little man!
He thought it was of dire importance to "fix" this freezer door...notice his "ladder"
Meanwhile, on the beginning of a snow day, Marlo is busy at the back windows teasing the dog!
Big brother joins in on the fun! Na na na na boo boo!
Getting suited up in his new snow outfit for hours and hours of shoveling, playtime, snowball fighting, sledding, snowman making (or, er, about 10 minutes!)...
Of course, Sis wants to watch the boys playing outside...when she'd look outside and see all the mountains of white, she'd go "ooooooooohh!".
Look at the excitement, evidenced in her hunched shoulders :)
My favorite pic of the day :) Look at that little poofy booty in her leggins! LOVE it :) And yes, she does have cankles, but as you saw above, she is working on them :)
And within seconds she's OFF! Crawling under the table...
....past the table....
...a fake out, now she bolts to the other side of the table...
Here he is opening up his tool bag for the first time..."A big hammer!"
"A flathead screwdriver."
Hmm, what else is in here???
"Ooooooh"...
The boys are off to the basement to drill some holes in his new "work board"-a little thing I just made up so he'd have a place to use all of his new tools (so he doesn't completely take our home apart!)
Here he is hammering in his first nail with his hammer...
...he changed up his form to put his hand in this most precarious position, but I think he thought that was the correct form, soo cute...
The completed "work board". Now he has a nail and mini sized picture he can hang over and over again!
Checking to make sure it's level :)
And here's just a little giggle-inducing video to wrap things up :)
