Spring Break 2010

Just a quick update and some pictures from Spring Break...

We started the week with decent weather and a trip to the zoo. David loved seeing the animals, but I think this time he enjoyed the playground area the most.


The end of the break brought us some interesting weather and David is starting to understand the awesomeness of snow. He tried to clean up the yard with his lawnmower. Next, I showed off some of my ninja skills with a sneak attack during the snowball fight. For the finale, I did my impression of a horse and pulled David around the yard. Lots of fun!!!
Also.... We bought a fancy camera and I have been playing with it to see what it can do. Fortunately I was able to capture a few shots of my classroom helpers. They are usually pretty shy.

Well.... goodbye March and hello April!

My Favwite New Toy

As the weather has warmed up Emily and I have begun thinking about what we are going to do with the backyard now that the dogs have been walled off and the yard is pooh free. In addition to the little pool we bought last year we have decided to add a tower/swing set (aka the Man Cave).
We brought the set home earlier in the week and I started piecing the frame together. Poppy and Granna come over yesterday to help finish the thing off. It took us all morning and a few hours after our lunch break at Long John Silvers to get everything in place and bolted down. David was amazed each time Granna brought him into the backyard as he got to see the newest addition to the Man Cave. David was very thankful for their help (and the ice cream after we finished!).


We played again after church and David announced that it was his "new favwite toy." He was a great tour guide and showed us everything that could be done at the Man Cave. I continued Granna's lesson on how to be an airplane and I tried to show him how to use the acrobat bar, but he said that I was too big. :) We all had a great time!!!
