science museum

We go to the Museum of Play a lot but have not tried the Science Museum because he is a little young for a lot of the exhibits. But we had a good time and he ran all over the play looking at different animals and displays. He even found a few things just for him!

painting

Untitled
we made some cool whip paint and enjoyed a morning of painting ourselves, the sidewalk and the tablecloths....he does not like getting messy but this was a really, really messy activity.

hiking

Untitled
this was a really pretty hike right down the road from our house.
Untitled
the baby did really well and walked for about a 1/4 a mile, picked up rocks, sticks and leaves; calling for birds and just being a wild man.

this kid kills me....

Untitled
I am sure everyone thinks their kids have such great personalities but our little man is such a BIG personality that I just cannot stand it.
Untitled
He is obsessed with helmets lately and wants to wear them every where. And not while riding his bike. this kid cracks me up...

Our sweet neighbor has a pool that he wants us to use! So we go over often because our little man loves the pool. Loves. He is a motor boat and has done really, really well on his own. We need a better swim floaty because he just does not want our help in anyway. Independent little guy, we love it.

We had a huge garage sale this last weekend and it was crazy busy! We were dead tired after a week of prep and a busy day of selling. It went really well and we cleaned out the house. Yeah! So after the fact we just watched the baby play for about an hour with the left over balloons. So funny...love how he is entertained by the simplest things.

hiking...

Untitled
Stony Brook is one of our favorite day hikes!
Untitled
Untitled
he loves playing with his daddy....they play very different, rough lets say but he loves it and needs that "different" kind of play......
Untitled
he ate his entire lunch with my sunglasses on....silly!
Untitled
we are enjoying Christmas in July....with candy canes and the Polar Express almost every day!!! so funny.

Untitled
loves his new bike but will not ride it....maybe next year!

stay at home

Untitled
I am a full time stay at home mom! And I will be honest the first few months were really difficult and we are all still adjusting. I do much better when I have a busy schedule and I enjoy being out and about. But baby K needs a schedule as well....so balance right. I am excited for new opportunities and we will see what new adventures come our way. I love having time to discover new areas and adventures. Carrying 30 lbs is a good workout no matter where we go! So onward.....
