Dress Up...

Not totally dress up but I think it's so funny when Aiden finds random clothes around the house and puts them on. Winter hat here, mom's sandals there.

I am most impressed that he even managed to get the thong part between his fat toes! He put them on completely by himself and got it right!!

"Sure I will show you my model walk"

"Just need a drink first!"

Spring has Sprung....(finally)

Aiden is so excited that it is warming up outside, as am I! I get to sneak in a little sun here and there while he plays! It's a win-win!! The Easter Bunny (aka Gramma Mary) put some gardening and outdoor toys in his Easter basket. We put them to use the next weekend while I planted some pots.

Aiden had his own pot to play with.

He had me fill up the watering can probably 10 times at least!

"The dirt is not quite drenched enough mom. I think we need more water."

He also got Sidewalk chalk. He made a few scribbles here and there.

Here's masterpiece number 1.

After a while of holding chalk but no drawing, I went to check on his progress. He thought the pink chalk was so pretty, it probably tastes as good as it looks right??

Yes, those are Aiden's rabbit teeth that scraped the top clean off! I dug chalk pieces out of his mouth for a good ten minutes! It was pretty funny, and a reminder to myself that just when I think "No, he won't eat that", He WILL, and more than likely he ALREADY DID!!

Needless to say, it doesn't taste as good as it looks. Cotton Candy flavoring not included.

Easter Weekend...

The i word...

Oh no! Here it comes! I have said the dreaded i word! INSIDE!! Aiden would live in a tree in the yard if I would let him! He would play outside from sun up to sun down, every day. He loves it so much, that mentioning going back in brings us to this face below.

You would think I killed a puppy or something!

Enjoying the warm sun for just a few more minutes, trying to run from me.

Tantrum has begun. Poor guy!

Penny doesn't understand! She wants to come in so she can share some of Aiden's vanilla wafers! A wonderful snack for dogs!

Aiden and his pup finally head inside! He is a gentleman already, trying to open the door for Penny!

Penny the Snow Puppy...

So, yet again we have gone from 70 degrees and beautiful, to snowstorm! Shocker! Aiden hated every second of it because he wanted to go outside and play as usual. If our yard didn't have standing water and melting snow, that might have been a possibility. But we found plenty of fun games to play inside and stayed nice and cozy. Penny had to go outside, for obvious reasons, and she loved it! She ran laps around the yard and just sat outside enjoying the snow!

"Yes Lauren, I am still sitting here in the same spot! You can stop looking at me now!"

"Squirrel!!"

She is totally having more fun than it looks here! She has turned out to be such a great dog!

Park Bound...

It was such a beautiful day today, almost 70 degrees outside so headed to Hunter Park!

Aiden LOVED the swings! He giggled every time we pushed him!

He knows when I have the camera on him so he doesn't look directly into the lens! He does it on purpose I think. He sees the camera and looks slightly to the right!

OH, Correction! He was staring at these super cute twin girls! They were so cute! (Can you take pictures of OTHER peoples kids at the park?) :/
I did anyway... they were too adorable.

The fire truck had a lot of tunnels and doors and windows that he loved crawling around on.

I see you out there Mommy! So I am going to look this way! Love that boy! Maybe once Penny is trained a little more we can take her to the dog park!

More of the Great Outdoors..

Finally beautiful weather to play outside in! Aiden has his rain boots on because of how muddy our yard has been!

Something was obviously very surprising.

Miss Penny's dirty schnoz!

Aiden is one with nature.

We went to JBF this past weekend and got a great outdoor toy for him to play with. He likes to climb up the slide and slide down head first. I am afraid we have a little daredevil on our hands! Penny likes to act like it is her doghouse!

Cool dude cruisin in his car! Fred Flintstone back there needs to pick it up! :)
