Rain Rain Go Away

Not a lot going on around here lately. We're just trying to stay dry. We're playing outside as much as we can, but get wet because there's puddles everywhere.

You can probably tell these pictures aren't recent. It hasn't been this sunny here in awhile. Munchkin got a bubble mower for his birthday and earlier this spring we got it out. Here's Munchkin the first time he used it.

Following daddy. Too cute. I love the hat and overalls. My little farm boy!

Doctor. Doctor, give me the news...

Took Munchkin to the doctor today. Just as I suspected - just allergies. So we've started him on some children's allergy medicine. The doctor said he should take the grape flavored chewables fine. I thought "um, probably not" so when I went to the store today I bought the chewables and the liquid.

Much to my surprise (or not) he gagged, cried, spit and clung to me for dear life.

I think we'll try to liquid tomorrow.

On a different note, here are some pics from a couple weeks ago when we went to Deanna Rose. You'll notice there are no animals. That's because last year Munchkin had to play on the smaller playground. But this year he was big enough and confident enough to play on the big kid playground. We were there the majority of time.

Before we go...

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. We leave tomorrow for a ski trip to Colorado with Hubby's family. So in my "down time" I've been doing some prep for that. But what we've mostly been up to is living outside!!! The weather has been gorgeous this week and Munchkin can't get enough.

Sunday, Munchkin's best friend, Mason had his second birthday and we went to his party. They live just two doors down from us. Here are some pics from the party.

The kids eating lunch.

Some after-lunch playtime. That's the birthday boy.

Munchkin waiting to sing "Happy Birthday."

Blowing out the candles.

Mason trying to eat his entire piece of cake all at once!

Munchkin showing us that he's passing on the cake and would rather have Cheetos! Oh dear. Where have I gone wrong?

Opening presents with his daddy.

All the other kids trying to help unwrap presents and play with all the new toys. Better known as pure chaos! :)

On another note, as I said, we've been living outside this week. But today, I finally had to stop procrastinating and get ready for our trip. So on the warmest day so far, we've been inside for most of it. However, as I was making lunch today I looked out the kitchen window and saw Mason playing with his Grandma in our backyard. I love our neighborhood so much. We come and go to each others' houses, yards, etc. and are just one big family! When I saw them out there, I told Munchkin and we rushed outside.

Playing. Yes, Munckin is barefoot. Glorious!

Playing in the yard. Aren't they precious???

Since it was so nice today, we decided to eat outside! Munchkin had so much fun!


I don't know when I'll get the chance to post again. We won't get home until early Tuesday morning. So until then enjoy the warm weather while we go back to more snow!

Within just a couple of hours

From the time Munchkin finished his lunch to the time he took a nap, here's what we did:

We went outside to play and I told him he needed to wear a hat. He chose his cowboy hat!

We kicked the ball back and forth.

We looked at all the flowers that are growing in the spot where I want to put my garden this year. So while we were outside today I dug most of them up. Munchkin played in the dirt with worms. He loves worms. He got so dirty that there was even dirt in his diaper! But he had fun! :)

He went down the slide.

He crawled under the slide.

I'm wondering where he learned this from. He put a piece of dry grass in his mouth. Hmm...

Future botanist?

Like I said, he was really dirty when we came inside. So he ate his snack in just his diaper.

I eventually got a shirt on him. He then climbed into the laundry basket full of dirt clothes.

He tried to put on my jeans.

He emptied the basket.

And then he filled the basket.

This morning we went back to the doctor to follow-up on his pneumonia. He still has some, so we're continuing with antibiotics.

------------------------------------

Yesterday I ran 3.1 miles inside in just over 46 minutes.

Today I ran outside 3.25 miles in 41 minutes. Outside must be more motivating! Had to get it in before the snow comes on Saturday!

Playing with grandpa and grandma

Last weekend Hubby's parents came. Munchkin loves playing with grandpa and grandma!

Tickling Aunt N.

Tickle Fest!

Outside playtime!

Hopefully where I will plant some vegetables this year.

Being adorable.

Rolling down the hill with grandma.

2.64 miles today. Hoping to be able to run outside again soon.

How to Build a Snowman

Yesterday Munchkin and Hubby went outside to build a snowman while I made lunch. I loved watching them out the kitchen window as they worked in the backyard.

Here's Hubby trying to tell Munchkin how to make a snowball. I wonder how well that worked! Ha!

Notice the pipe? Ha!
