one hundred pushups

so... i did the initial test, boy am i weak. i eked out 3 proper form pushups. pathetic. i then did 6 girly pushups just to boost my self confidence. so i'm doing this: onehundrepushups
i thought i was alot stronger than that. ha.

cooking

yesterday at ikea i saw these little kids pots and pans and we just had to get them. i set him up with some uncooked rice and some stuffing (yea, i'm not really sure what i was thinking, but i'm sure that was better than flour and sugar).... and he went to town. it really was a blast seeing him so intent and focused, plus i was able to fix dinner without disruption. the mess afterwards was worth the joy.

please touch museum

meredith was such a good sport to join us for the day.

our little character

I can't imagine where Owen gets this idea of making funny faces in pictures.

french creek area

we needed to get out of the house today. i enticed owen with a promise of going for a hike, he loves going for walks. we drove out towards hopewell furnace/french creek state park in high hopes of hiking. it was 10:30am and he was out for the count, which is highly unusual. so i ended up driving around for 2 hrs and came upon this amazing road where there was still a ton of ice. the sun had yet to melt it and though it was cloudy the sun did manage to shine through, displaying a icy brilliance.
