Life on the homefront

 No window.
 New window.  Dan has installed new windows in the house.  All but three have been replaced and those will be done when it warms up again.  Now when the wind blows the window coverings don't move!
 I had to give Dan a haircut to get out the caulk that he had in his hair after a window fell out of the window hole and hit him in the head.  He was getting ready to secure the window with screws when it fell out. 
 Without prompting Calvin wanted to put his underwear on his head.
 
 Big boy.
 Little boy.
 Sleeping in his chair for nap time.  I'm sure you've all seen pictures of toddlers sleeping in funny places such as a highchair or standing floor but with his head on the couch snoozing away.  Calvin has never been one of those kids so this is as funny as it gets.  I did have a moment of panic when I went in to wake him up and didn't see him in his bed though.  He chose to sleep on the floor at least once and the chair a few other times.  I think he quickly realized that neither are as comfortable as his bed.  Even though he can get in and out of his bed freely he still likes us to put him in bed and take him out in the morning. 
Calvin wasn't feeling well this morning so he stayed home from school and we decided to make biscuits.  There was some extra flour in a bowl that I let him play with it along with the scraps of dough and he had a great time as you can tell by the big mess that was made.  Big mess = lots of fun!  

Warm biscuits!  Even though Calvin and I don't follow the directions exactly they always turn out!  I tried explaining how to slowly pour milk into flour while stirring but he's more of a dump it all in at once kind of guy. 
It's fun to look back at pictures of Calvin when he was a baby and see how quickly preferences were formed.  Even at four days old he liked to sleep with his arms behind his head and he still does.
