Hide and Seek

A new favorite pastime for Dexter is playing "hide and seek".  I'm kind of glad that he plays by getting into a hiding spot and then announcing, "I'm hiding behind the table/under the blanket/behind the coats!!  Can you find me?!" Not that it would be that hard to find him if he hadn't shouted out his hiding spot. But this way, I can make a big deal about looking for him without actually worrying about where he's hiding. See if you can find Dexter in the pictures below.

Melting Masterpiece

When I got home from school today and came out of the garage, I was greeted by a big smiling snowman missing his eyes and some buttons. Luckily, Ben had taken pictures before the melting began.

Ben and Dexter had clearly been enjoying the remnants of last night's snow storm (I, on the other hand, did not so much enjoy driving on slick roads before dawn this morning!). 








My Bologna also enjoyed the snowman building (and has yet to pee on him).

After Tomorrow?

Every day since Uncle Rob left, Dexter asks, "Is Uncle Rob coming back today?"  And when we tell him no, he asks, "Tomorrow?" And when we say no to that, he asks, "After tomorrow?" Oy.  Yes, some time after tomorrow Uncle Rob will be back for a visit.

Yesterday, Uncle Rob called and he got to go through the whole routine with Dexter.  When Dexter asked, "After tomorrow?", Uncle Rob said, "Maybe in a year or so," and Dexter looked at me with a confused look on his face.  I said, "In a year or so is definitely after tomorrow."
