Starting the New Year Right...

Jason took Will and Charlie to the zoo after Christmas... The Grizzlies seemed to be enjoying the appropriate weather for that fur coat!

Penguins!

Charlie and this white Wolf seemed to have a connection...

We took Molly and Richard to the train museum in St Paul.  It was great!  It has actual train cars, including the old sleeper cars, that you can really go in and see and touch!  That's unlike any other train museum we have been too, including in overseas... Will and Daddy got to sit up in the engine during the train ride!

On New Years Day, the boys headed back to the Science Museum with Aunt Molly and Uncle Richard....

I still haven't been, but the pictures make it look really fun!

Charlie attempts to assemble a dinosaur...

Charlie has been obsessed with coloring and painting, including in some very inappropriate places. Like the couch, walls, floors, and toilet!  I decided to let him to go town with some paint in the tub.  My grout enjoyed it much less than he did...

Charlie loves to apply Blueberry war paint...

The boys have finally decided that the tool bench isn't so bad. 

It came with these neat foam, wood pieces that fit together to make all kinds of stuff.  So fun! 

I got the boys a set of these cardboard blocks to play Angry Birds with.  They are a hit!

The boys got their 2nd Christmas this week when the presents from Grandma Jeanie and Grandpa arrived. 

Charlie loved his Angry Birds!

And his Christmas Thomas Train.  There is still one more box on it's way so I will try and post more pics after they open that one...
