This is what happens when Aunt Holly cooks...

just kidding!

Spaghetti Face

It always a joy to eat spaghetti with a toddler!! He was feeling especially silly and protesting the fork that evening! You should have seen how many green beans he ate though (I think thats why I let him make a mess....).

Almost 3!

Here he is... our almost 3 year old! Handsome as can be!! :)

I like to Move It!

Daddy taught me a new dance! Enjoy!

Erin Go Bragh

Wasn't it a beautiful St. Patrick's day this year?? As we did last year we ventured down to Forest Park for the Hiberian parade with our neighbors across the street. Here's Katie (aka Kay-Kay) getting Asher to laugh in the wagon... We went down early to get good parking so we ventured into the zoo to see the elephants! Asher wanted to take a pictures of the hippos and fishies (all you could see in the hippo picture was their rear ends, so I didn't post that one!).

We found a decent viewing spot on a corner street and hung out in the shade until the parade started....

Asher's viewing buddy!

Claire stayed with us until we saw her family and she joined them to walk in the parade. Kay-Kay is on the far left of the picture, the girl's older brother John in the black shirt, the two girls and their Dad (holding Rudy by the leash).

After we watched a little of the parade we stopped by Turtle Park for a bit before beating the crowd home. We had two very tired toddlers on the ride home!!!

Roller Skating!

Claire was out skating across the street so mommy and daddy decided to get out the roller skates that Aunt Ginny sent home with me... they are real big boy skates, so I can't do it by myself yet....

Kay Kay found these that used to belong to the girls in her garage. Would you believe it that mommy had to put them on the biggest setting so my feet fit???

I faired much better on my own in these :)

Order Up!

Thanks to the "girls" Asher can cook your order to order!

(Guess which restaurant slogan that is!)

He makes a great strawberry tart or pancakes to order!

Tonight he was cooking for Grandma Mary.

Saxophone!

I love the imagination! He likes to play his banana saxophone! :)

The Best Medicine!

Yesterday we took the doggie for a quick walk/job around the block... but it ended up with a short "trip" around the block. We had the shorts out for the 75 degree weather over the weekend, so he ended up with two scraped knees.... not too bad, hardly any blood, but mommy fixed it up with some kisses, band-aids, an elmo juice box and a VeggieTales song.

Sandbox!

On saturday, Daddy decided that he probably wouldn't need the sandbags in the back of his truck for the summer, so he filled in the "sandbox" underneath my clubhouse. I waited patiently while he filled it up... then off the shoes went!! Mommy found me a pail and shovel... maybe I need some other toys for my birthday :)

Doodle

Ah.... one of the forgotten toys has resurfaced again! Don't you love that??? Asher discovered his "doodle" and has been quite the artist this week. Here he is giving Lena some drawing lessons. We lost the pens a little while ago (I think I had hidden them when Lena was smaller because she liked to suck the water out... lol). Daddy came up with a great idea to dip paint brushes in water and "paint".... good one daddy!!

Like Mother, Like Son

I thought to make up for the lack of blogging recently, I'd give you a good laugh! Here's a like mother, like son moment!
