saturday in the park

last saturday we had nothing on our agenda. trust me when I say that THAT is a rarity! we decided to lay low in the morning. kyle whipped up a batch of chocolate chip waffles and we watched a little letter factory (a.k.a. "letter FATory - if you're a wee toddler). testing his mommy and daddy is at the top of miles' "to do list" and this morning was no exception...this is not allowed.
"I swing in henry's swing!"
despite a little mischief making, miles had no trouble keeping us entertained. here is what a roll of clear tape will do to a 23 month old.
gotta love cheap entertainment!
we interrupt this blogcast for a public service announcement:
poor tinker and tessie. the wide spread doggie toys have long given way to the endless array of baby/toddler toys. from the look on these faces...they are none too happy about the new home decor. please dig through the doggie-toy "graveyard" bin soon. thank you.
we now return to your regularly scheduled blogcasting.
mr. henry lounged around sans clothing while we got a few laughs out of watching miles. my wonderful friend kate borrowed us this beautiful moses basket. I'm sad that henry is just about too big for it. it's certainly come in handy!
after we managed to get everyone dressed, miles found a deck of cards and began to play his favorite game - matching (narrowly beating out another fave in our house...52 card pick up...always a crowd-pleaser).
the weather made it nearly impossible to stay inside all day and so we packed up a little picnic and headed on over to one of the parks right by our house.
henry-bug stayed snug and warm in the stroller...brr!
saying prayers
"thank you for our food. amen"
CHEERS!
miles loves to "do cheers" with anything and everything. sandwiches? why not!
good thing daddy came along to chase the little guy around

I'm convinced that springtime in minnesota is God's gift to us all for surviving the harsh winter weather. the flowering trees, green grass, and smell of lilacs is a little slice of heaven :)
a sure sign of a successful outing
