Happy 93rd, Grandad!

 

The family got together Monday night to celebrate Grandad's 93rd birthday with him. :)

 

The little boy helped Grandad blow out his candles

 

and then dug into his cake and ice cream with mucho gusto :)

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

 

and some Easter Egg Huntin'!

 

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,

 

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!

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

We made pancakes, and the little boy helped :)

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

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!

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

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

Messing with Grandad's collection of caps and hats

Sharing some stories with Cindy

Playing at the playground of the nearby school

The Birthday... S

The little boy turned 3 years old last week.

I know, right? :^)

There was the PRE-Birthday at home, with a "J" cake with dodgy icing :^P

followed by a "3" cake celebrated with Grandad and the ladies from Bible Class, the next day a.k.a the ACTUAL day..

and finally, the party with the family, at Mamo's house, with the "Cars" cake
