He wanted to make him a house so we found a jar with holes in the lid and he ran outside to get him some leaves and grass. After he put those in he looked at the house and said, "he needs a picture in his house." Then he quickle went to my craft room and found a mini "frame" that I have been meaning to make a necklace out of. 
Russ just laughed and said he is like me, and it is true. William does appreciate the beautiful things.
When I was uploading pictures from the camera I found this picture William took of the bug. 
Gracie trying to get in on the game.
Finding her belly button
Reading a very exciting story with her Papa
Hugging the book (she is going through a phase where she hugs and kisses EVERYTHING)
her pony tails pulled out...
And she is ready to go in her new necklace she made in nursery. We have been letting the kids stay up a little later because Russ' schedule has him coming home later. After seven o'clock the both get really crazy and rambunctious. It is loads of fun to watch.
I think he is going to like doing a garden. I have decided to help a friend down the street with her garden before I invest in everything I need to get one going here. I need to learn a little bit more.
I showed them to you and you said you liked them. I am glad. People are always telling you how much they love your hair and your response is, "I know". You used to say thank you but I think since so many people tell you, you really feel like you already know. Your hair is getting pretty long. I trimmed it a little in the back before church but your dad and I are holding out for warmer weather and then going to do the annual buzz.
Maybe you will be okay with it because that is like Buzz Lightyear. That is one thing about you William, you are loyal to your movies and characters. Here you are in your Buzz jammies with your Woody toy. 
or this. And yes, I think that is pen on your arm.
You love being a brother and for the most part have lots of fun with Gracie although I do have to admit that you seem to enjoy terrorizing her and making her scream. Hopefully that will get better.
You love to ride your bike and are getting better and better at it all the time.
There is a path you take that circles the house and you just keep going around and around.
You have become fascinated with letters and numbers and are pretty good at writing them. One of your videos starts with the letters D-V-D popping up individually. When this happened you named each one correctly and I told you what a good job you did. Then you said, “Am I such a good letter-man?” And of course I said, “Yes.” You love writing your name and even wrote it on our dinning room chair. It was written with your favorite color (orange) and it is hard to see except the parts where you tried to "erase" it (that means you scribbled harder in the attempt to get it off because you knew you should not do it).
Daddy found a pair of little nail scissors in the drawer where we keep them, but they were all black on the end and kind of bent. He asked if I knew what happened to them.
We had just had a lot of kids over at our house so we figured one of them must have done it. I called you into the bathroom and showed you the black and our conversation went like this, “did someone put something in there?” and you said, “yeah, I did.” “What did you put in there?” “The little scissors” “did you get an owie, did it hurt?” “No, orange and yellow stuff was coming out of there, but I watched out.” “When did you do this?” “When Elleigh was here, she was going potty.” That means it was over a few weeks ago. 
later that afternoon we went to a
Valentines Dinner
Gracie loved the balloons, the candy, and the dancing
William took his shoes off and ran around until his feet were black.
He thought that was pretty funny until he found out we had to go home because he wouldn't stop running around long enough to use the bathroom.
Ahh, such is life. Happy Valentines!
