Catching Up

Now that everyone is feeling better I am trying to play catch up since it has been so long since I posted anything. So here is a bunch of stuff that has happened in the last few weeks .

This last Sunday we went to Grandma and Grandpa Walkers' and made soft serve ice cream with Dave's new ice cream maker. The kids loved it of course. But we think they actually liked making a big mess more than eating the ice cream. The pictures don't do them justice though. By the time the ice cream was done, or melted, they had ice cream everywhere. Owen decided that it was fun to squish the ice cream all over his face. He had it on his cheeks, chin and forehead. Jack was just his usual messy self. As usual after a day at Grandma and Grandpa's they both ended up in the bathtub.





Several weeks ago the boys and I went to a small water park with our friend Meredith and her baby Ryan. I didn't even bring Jack's swimsuit because I didn't think he would get in. Of course he ended up loving it. By the time we were done he was soaked from head to toe. His pants were so soaked that they kept falling off. Owen loved it too but was much more cautious.




Yesterday we made a trip to the park just a couple streets over from our house. Owen calls this park "my park." We like it because it is usually empty except for us. Jack is starting to actually like playing on the playground and the boys discovered that they liked to go down the slide together. As soon as they got to the bottom Jack tried to crawl back up the slide so he could do it again. I hope the slide will keep him distracted from the sand from now on. He usually goes straight the sand and starts dumping handfuls right on his head. It takes me days to get all the sand off his scalp especially now that he is terrified of taking baths for some reason.
