Lately...

I wonder if they'll still be doing this when they are 16 and 17?

I'm sure I know my answer, but one can hope.

These tracks are definitely signs of a good day spent outside. Too bad that all of this snow is now melted. I can't believe how little snow we've had this year (especially when compared to how much we had last year!).

Friday night the O'Donnell's came over for a visit. We put Genevieve to bed and the boys stayed up and watched Charlotte's Web.

Saturday we went to the Harvard Museum of Natural History. it was really nice. They both loved all of the animals on display and Sebastien liked the dinosaur bones. Sebastien was especially fond of using the magnifying glass, seen here.

The kids looking at some prehistoric fossil bones.

Why not take a family picture in front of a gigantic prehistoric sea monster? If only it were Christmas card season, right?

Cozy winter nights...

Sunday we went back into Boston because Dan and I had a crazy idea that we'd take the kids to FAO Schwartz. Well, after walking around and not finding it, we later learned that it closed in 2003. Whoops! (Thanks Google Maps for being up-to-date!) Luckily walking through Boston Gardens and playing at the playground in the Common was enough activity for the kids and we ended up having a pretty darn good day. Dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's, complete with all Masse siblings, was a cherry on top. Oh, and Downtown Abbey being on afterwards was a second cherry. :)
