Staying Entertained....

The past week we have kept ourselves very entertained! Here are some of the things we have done:

It was April's birthday last week so we went to her house for lunch. I brought a box of cherry dilly bars from DQ with us, and Brooklyn ate most of mine! Little stinker! If I even tried to take a bite she would yell at me.

 

 Brooklyn sure does love her mommy. In the evenings she isn't happy unless I'm holding her. When I am holding her, she is as happy as  can be. She talks to me, sings with me, dances to the music. Silly girl. :)

 

We got a watermelon in our bountiful basket last week and Carson was in heaven. He loves watermelon, which he calls water-melon-a-mon. He ate a lot of it with his dinner (notice the dinosaur that has to eat with us) and pretty much ate all of the watermelon over the next day. This kid can't wait until summer when he can eat it all the time!

 

My kids love their baths, and lately Carson has wanted to sit with Brooklyn in her little tub. They both barely fit, but its cute to watch them play together. (Notice Brooklyn's crazy, crazy, out-of-control hair.)

Carson loves to watch Blue's Clues, Curious George, and Dinosaur Train. Sometimes I will let him watch an episode while I am in the shower. He begged me for a picnic on my bed while he watched his show the other day. He thought it was the coolest thing ever.

 

Brooklyn's hair is so long that if I don't pull it back it is in her eyes all the time. Lately I've been putting it in two pigtails in the front. 

 

Sometimes, napping in Mommy's bed is just more fun....

 

 Now that our church isn't until 1pm, I've been making dinner before we leave. Sunday I made lasagna and Carson helped. He did such a good job. He would put the noodles down and sprinkle the cheese. He was pretty proud of himself, and so was mommy. 

Brooklyn is so happy now that she can move around and chase her brother. She has found it to be a little challenging to crawl in her dress, but she looks so cute in it that I don't like to take her out of it!

I also gave her mashed potatoes and baked beans, which she loved. I ended up scooping an entire scoop of mashed potatoes onto her high chair and letting her go at it. Boy did she have fun. Of course we went straight into the bath. :)
