Snow and ice and cold, but getting closer to Spring!

Almost the end of the week!  Getting closer to Spring, hallelujah!!

As usual I'll start with my sky pictures from this week.  As you can see, we still have snow on the ground.  We have had snow, then ice, then more snow.  It's been quite a while since we've seen bare ground.  But snow is prettier.  I'm just tired of cold, and especially ice.

I took these pictures this morning.  

I loved the pink wispy clouds on Monday morning. 

On Friday we got our "new" van.  I took this picture of the new and the old, or should I say, the old and the older when we got home that day.

I'm adjusting.  There were things about the interior of the older one that I really, really liked better.  It felt roomier with nothing between the driver's seat and the front passenger seat.  But I'll get used to this.  

And of course, always pictures of Elizer.  There seem to be no end of picture moments with him!

He loves to put blankets or adult shirts around his shoulders. 

Reading a book to Great grandpa.

On Sunday morning he got into our bathroom when we were at church!  I decided to let him play with that old curling brush.  I never use it anyway.  He mainly walks around with it looking for a place to plug it in, but alas, every receptacle has a cover.  Thank goodness!

Always, always putting on adult shoes and boots.  This time he was "vacuuming" with his corn popper while wearing some boots, hahaha!  That corn popper is by far his favorite toy.  He truly uses it like a vacuum cleaner.  

There is no door between the living room and the den, so we put a gate there.  I have too many things in the den that he likes to get into, like shelves of music, photo albums, etc.  Our computer.  It's too much of a pain opening the gate, so we just "hurdle" it!  I decided this is a good way for us older folks to keep our hip flexors in good shape!  Unfortunately, Elizer has already managed to hurdle it once or twice.  Ugh.  We'll probably get a better one.  This was the cheapest one at Walmart. 

The day after I took that video I caught Elizer doing "yoga stretches." 

And then I needed the step stool for something.  I let him go up and down and up and down the steps for a while.  I decided we have our own homemade gym around here, haha!

One evening Dick got out the tunnel.  Elizer rarely goes though it, but would much rather shake it and shake it and shake it.

Dick and I saw this at Walmart on Saturday!

Well, that's it for this time.  Not much time to write!
