Art and the Park!

Today was a great day of family time! We did some painting in the morning! S loves to paint, and we found out that C does too, only he prefers to paint with his fingers on the blinds - yikes that kid is a handful!

We then took, on M's suggestion, a picnic to the park! We played and played and then ate our lunch. For the first time in his life, C was able to sit at the big picnic table and eat like a big boy instead of having to have his meal while sitting contained in his stroller. Not a 100% success, but it wasn't too awful. It was definitely good to have two adults to help him rather than just me wrangling him onto his seat and keeping him there. He likes to climb up in the chairs(and then onto the table!!!) in our kitchen so I know it won't be long before he will refuse to sit in his highchair and eat. Oh boy! Look out!!! And, I can't forget to point out S's very eclectic look:) She very much enjoys picking out her own clothes and today was no exception! Not exactly my first choice, but she was happy with it! She doesn't like to wear jeans or khakis, so if she can't wear a a dress, she wants to wear "soft pants". And, then there is her mommy, who could live in jeans - and in fact I pretty much do during fall/winter/spring! Yay for a stay-at-home dress code!

Do you remember the tractor that has been in several pictures since Christmas. Yeah, it has been hanging out in our driveway for 1.5 months. Well, today M finally took it back to its home but don't fear, we now have a motor grader in our front yard! We are THAT family:) He did need to fix our "driveway" and it was also a thrill for the entire street! All the kids got rides and all the neighbors came out to see it - even our housebound neighbor whom we haven't seen in a very very long time was able to come out and enjoy the excitement! Nothing like an impromptu block party:)

For dinner we went to our friends' house and enjoyed a very yummy dinner! The girls did their own thing princess style and C was pretty good too! It was great to eat in their new home and see Amanda's little baby boy bump:)

AWESOME Saturday!!!
