A Recommendation

Today was the first day in a while we had beautiful weather, I didn't even get hot until the sun started baking my front windows! We went to the playground by the libary and played on the "beautiful colorful slides" and they posed for pictures on the swings.

 

 

 

Later, when we started to get hot, we went out back and played in the shade and then I remembered the best toy ever.

 

I saw these in a magazine and made them from dollar store sponges. They were wet, easy to throw, didn't hurt, and are really fun to wring out over your child's head. Both kiddos loved them! I didn't even plan the fun, they were so easy to pull out last minute! I'll probably make more and we will each arm ourselves with buckets and sponges and play until we are soaked. Plus, you don't have to pick up tiny little pieces like you do with water balloons!

Brother

Our son is a budding artist! Paint, crayons, markers, colored pencils, you name it, he creates with it. He loves to turn the pages of is coloring book and admire his art. He is also a little water bug, jumping and swimming all by himself and his swimmies. Our latest trip was out to Indiana to see my brother and his family. He has the perfect sidewalks for bike rides.

Water Baby

 

 

She will brave ocean waves, just not the pool!

 

 

Birthday Number One

Well, almost two months ago, little one turned one! It didn't take long for her to figure out what a cupcake is for! Following tradition, we had a second party in Delaware, where she got her first bite of chocolate cake! She is now a walking champ, starting to say words, "baby" "dog", and smiles all the time. She is also very good at working herself into a pout when she gets told no. It's so cute we smile and laugh, much to her dismay!
