Sunny Afternoon Park Visit

Today we both worked in Everett and happen to get out of work a little early.  We took advantage of the extra time and headed to a beautiful park to enjoy some sunshine.  PJ had a great time running from the swings to the slide, and then to this odd chair thing, that looked like a composite bin.  PJ climbed in and out of it, played peek-a-boo in the windows, and laughed at his mom and dad for getting into funny positions to entertain him.   It was a nice end to a long week.  Especially since it was un-planned sunshine time.

Look at that belly!



Sleeping In

This morning PJ woke up a little earlier than usual, so Ry went in to get us all a little more sleep.  This is what I found when I woke up about an hour later.  Melts my hearts. Nothing better than little man cuddles, especially when you holding him makes him sleep so soundly.  

Big Brother

 

Yep its true!  Baby #2 is in the "oven".  You can see him/her in the blurry photo, with the arrow pointing to the head.  Don't worry if you can't see anything but black and white.  We will have better pictures soon when we find out the sex of the baby.   The first trimester is complete; which means, with some simple math, that PJ will be a big brother around March 1st, 2013! 

Aunt Amy to the Rescue

Today we got MEGA sick with food poisoning that luckily only hit the adults.  Neither Ry or I could barely move to the bathroom, let alone be able to parent little man.  Aunt Amy came to the rescue!  Our sweet darling friend came and picked PJ up with little notice from us and spent the day entertaining him.  They went to the pool, played with some other kids, eat lots of snacks, and went on the swings.  Thank You Aunt Amy!

Sleeping on Daddy

 

Saturday we went to our friend's house to hang out on the deck, enjoy their view of a lake, and to enjoy their company.  PJ had so much fun playing on the deck, going up and down stairs, exploring the house with his buddy TJ, and chasing Cheyenne.  When PJ finally stopped for a cuddle with Daddy; he simply passed out.  He slept this way for about 45 minutes!  Ry was very happy to have PJ cuddle for so long. 

3-D Artwork

PJ glued colorful feathers to a paper plate at school today.  I wish they took videos of some of the activities that they do at school.  This is one of those activities I would have liked to have seen in action.  I can only imagine glue with a bunch of toddlers, let alone with feathers.  I know that PJ prefers to eat feathers, so I just giggle every time I look at this piece of artwork.  

Colander Hat

PJ and I enjoyed the afternoon playing in his little pool.  If you look closely you will notice a saggy diaper from sitting in the middle of the pool with the colander that is shown on his head in the picture.  While he was in the pool PJ taking the colander, putting it under water to fill it, and then would get quite frustrated when the colander came of of the pool empty of water.  So to change the result, PJ got out of the pool put the colander on his head and started walking around the deck pouring water from a cup all over the place instead. 

Cheyenne's Latest Discovery

PJ has been given this fabulous little chair by some great friends of ours.  Rosie the Boxer has debuted on the blog as the first user of the chair.  PJ has used the chair since, but I have yet to get him on camera in the seat.  He would have to be still in it for at least a minute to capture the photo.  So today I snapped a photo of Cheyenne, who was being very still in the little chair. In fact when I discovered her, I had to leave the room and come back for the camera, and she didn't move.  Apparently that chair is super comfy!

Favorite Photo from the Weekend

We got some great quality time with Stanley girl this weekend.  I had to post another picture of her perfection.

Blackberries

Ry and PJ left the G-Rent's house after dinner to walk down the driveway and pick some blackberries before PJ went to bed.  About 15 minutes later the boys returned, and evidence shows that they found some berries.  Apparently PJ loves blackberries as much as he loves raspberries. 

Ry is showing us a container that has about 10 berries in it. 
I think they ate more than they brought home!

Look at all that berry juice!

Happy boys
