Beware the Dragon!

Happy Chinese New Year! We don't always remember to celebrate, but this year I did and we had so much fun! In the morning, I looked through Pinterest and found some pages for Ty to color, but he's never been that interested in coloring. He mainly wanted to throw the crayons around.I also found on Pinterest some cute dragon costumes. They also had tutorials, so I took a quick look and thought it would be easy enough. I even had everything I needed to make it! I made the wings from this tutorial and the tail I figured out from this picture. Isn't Ty the cutest little dragon ever!Hugging his tail before I finished it. He loves hugging it and biting it.Flying dragon!A better look at his wings and tail.Sorry about the weird shadow, but I actually managed to catch a smile for once.

After our playing outside, we went inside and order Chinese food from Yung's for dinner. After eating, I planned on watching my favorite dragon themed movie "How to Train Your Dragon", but then we remembered there would be a new Castle on, so we watched that. i did get to watch my movie after though.

A simple day full of fun and Ty loved it! He seemed to get a real kick out of wearing his new outfit.

Ty's New Chair

Gram Gram bought Ty an inflatable sled for Christmas and we decided to try it out the morning when we finally got a little snow. Unfortunately, Ty was cranky and just wanting to go back to sleep so we didn't stay out long. The snow was gone before we had another chance to go out, but we found a different use for the sled.Ty loves sitting in it and watching tv. I put the blankets over it since he doesn't wear pants inside too often and having your skin stick to the plastic isn't very comfortable. It's also warmer this way.

A New Year

Happy New Year! I am proud to say that I have kept my resolutions the past two years! Of course, I only had one each year. Two years ago it was to blog at least once a month. Last year I bumped it up to twice a month and I added the stipulation of having pictures, although I already tried to put photos anyways. This year, I haven't really thought of any resolutions, other than keeping up with my blogging. I do hope to update it on time though. Ever since I found out I could type the post then save it for later while still keeping the date, I've been a little lazy about updating, but it's really nice when I can't find enough time to upload all my photos.

So to celebrate this new year, Lee and I decided to lay low since we've finally got Ty on a good sleeping schedule. We went to a 2:50 showing of Sherlock Holmes while Gram Gram babysat. Such a good movie! After that we went to pick up Ty and talked for a bit before heading home. On the way home we remembered we needed to pick up some Martinelli's and just lucked out. Apparently we happened to find the very last bottle there. We also picked up two glasses on sale from Christmas for only $0.62. Then we went home and watched White Collar (a new favorite), put Ty to bed and enjoyed out bottle of cider.

Sorry, I don't have any photos for this post.
