April 2012 Week 2

I know we are going on week 4 of April, but at least these posts are getting on here, aye?

Hey, it was Easter!  We went over to Stephanie and Mike's ( and Max and Jet's ) new home for lunch

 Photobucket

and some Easter Egg Huntin'!

 Photobucket

I did some organization with some bins and "shoe tuppers" from Dollar Tree.  Not much, but one battle at a time, and the war will surely be won!

It's not much, but it gives me just that little bit more Zen-ness in the world.

Of course, one should be able to find Zen-ness in a world where a little boy rules,

 Photobucket

If not Zen-ness, then great Joy and Delight, then :) be it at the playground,

or splashing in muddy puddles at Mamo's house with cousins :)

Last but not least, Cindy's yummy lunch at Grandad's with Charles and Joy!

Trying out the format of..

This week in pictures..

I am one of those people that bring their camera just about everywhere they go, and take umpteen photos of things around them. I think I have digital technology to thank for such rampant clicking :P

I usually have to so many things I want to blog about, and don't get to them. BUT I don't want all these "adventures" to just get filed away in the computer and not ever see the light of day.

ANYWAY, all of that said, this is what we did last week.


We had a great doctor's visit for the little boy's 3-year-old well child clinic


Photobucket


We made pancakes, and the little boy helped :)


Photobucket


Also, the little boy played baseball for the first time, and hit a bunch of balls!


Photobucket


We hang out over at Grandad's every day, so a lot of the "adventures" happen there..

like...

Playing with our toy cars and then sharing a movie with them!


Photobucket


Showing Grandad the part of the recently released 1940 census that had his family's details on it, on the big screen.


Photobucket


Playing at the neighbor's bench, which the the little boy loves to do, and admiring Grandad's roses.


Photobucket


Messing with Grandad's collection of caps and hats


Photobucket


Sharing some stories with Cindy


Photobucket


Playing at the playground of the nearby school
