Look who is Two and Official!!

Image

No longer a little stray, he is ours forever and today is his special day, two years old.


Our passy love'in, mean as he is cute, funny as he is mean. Loves to swing and climb all things possible and some that should not be. Will push chairs over to reach onto the counter. Our most adventurous eater, just last night he ate broccoli slaw, his and all of both his brothers. Our littlest guy, is just that LITTLE, still wearing 12 month pants and 18 month shirts. He loves to dance and be naked, his favorite new body part is his wee wee and any time you change his pants he is sure to grab it and let you know what it is. Loves to wear other family members shoes all around the house, even up and down the stairs.

Loves to watch Max and Ruby and play with his trains. A true little brother he knows how to bug his brothers. Hates to be told no and will cry to get what wants, why does he think that will work? hummm. Hates to be left behind is always trying and mostly succeeding in following after his big brothers. Mostly a good listener and directions follower, you make our days fun. We love you Little Stay and are so glad God trust us with you. Happy Birthday!!

Water Park Fun!

T-Monster still got all of his spring break unlike the public school children lost over half of theirs in our county this year. Trying to makeup all the missed snow days. I was determined to make it a fun week, unlike X-mas break where they took turns being sick the second week, leaving us stuck at home.

So on Tuesday we went to the neighboring town's small indoor water park, about 45 mins from our house. On Wednesday we went to the jumpy place, oh what fun, I actually just got to sit on a couch (don't worry it was not for long, less spoil me) and watch all of my boys go around and around to each of the jumpy's and play, so cool. Thursday we went to the famous Chuckie the mouse place, we had the first hour to ourselves (the public school children all being in school and all). Too much fun, to finish out the week:

Computer Geek took Friday off and we went to a LARGE indoor water park, about 2.5 hours away. I do not have that many pictures, because I have 4 children and I did not want one to drown while I was taking pictures, and most these were taken my Computer Geek, who would rather me pull his teeth out than take pictures. Anyway here are our adventures of 24 hours at the big water park.


ImageThis is the our second day and they were not willing to have me take their pictures in their matching pirate swimsuits, they wanted to get back to the water park. About 5 minutes before this picture Little Stray was out on the balcony on top of the patio table looking out over the rail (now the rail was still at his shoulders) and about gave me a heart attack. He kept climbing up on the little table so I moved it inside, only to have him try to move it outside again. Did I mention that we were on the fourth floor, can you say stinker.


Image This is Little Stray looking up worried that that big bucket of water is going to fall on him. Every time he would get surprised with water on his head, he would open his mouth really wide in shock, so cute, I wish I had gotten it on camera.

Image Image T-Monster enjoying the water park, he really like the kiddie pool water shooters, even though he was really to big for the slides and other things. The wave pool was a big hit with him, he could touch almost the entire pool. He and Chunk would ride a double tube, T in front and Chunk in back. T would walk it out over the waves and then jump on to ride it back, with Chuck on the back, so cute.

Little Stray's favorite slide, he did this so many times I lost count. He could touch at the bottom, but you had to watch him, because if he got knocked down, he had a hard time getting back up. Down the slide, through the water to the steps and around again, so cute.

Chunk enjoyed the basketball pool, where he could get out and jump in on mommy. Little stray enjoyed the basketballs, but refused to shoot it when I held him up to a basket, he just wanted to hog the balls.
Image Image At the end the basketball pool was a ropes course over the water, T-Monster really enjoyed this and became quite the pro, beating several big kids across. There were two courses side by side.
So much fun and great family time. Even through there are no pictures of Pinky or Computer Geek, I promise they were there. On the way home all three boys, sacked out, I would say that is the sign of a good time. Maybe we will make it a yearly trip.
