There are times where as a parent, you just have to have fun. After all the tears and the long nights and the go, go, go... it's time to get some payback.
And our kids just have to suffer through it. In the future he'll roll his eyes at us, and sigh and whine, but hopefully go along with it because it just makes me so happy!
And that is this hat. I'm almost not upset that it's so cold out! I seriously put this hat on him and couldn't stop laughing for a good ten minutes. I just couldn't stop giggling.
Of course E made sure we were aware of his displeasure. Although I have to say, his angry "stop taking my picture!" face almost makes me laugh as much.

E’s favorite bird has always been a cardinal. Don’t tell him that you think it’s red, because he calls it the “orange bird.” Luckily we get a lot at our bird feeders, so he’s always happy.
I keep waiting for a goldfinch to show up, because obviously G would love that, but I’ve yet to see one at our house. Instead, we recently had some Chickadees show up. I was super excited, because I’d been mentioning to people that I thought it was weird we don’t see them AT ALL in Massachusetts. I mean, it is the state bird and all..
