The past couple of weeks

Ok, so it looks like I am becoming a blog slacker. There is just not that much going on in our lives right now to post more often. So here is a quick recap of some of the things that we have been up to in the last couple of weeks.

Here is Mathias on one of the colder days where we stayed inside. I was doing laundry and came back to find him almost completely asleep in the middle of all of his toys. I guess he was playing pretty hard.

On the days that are warm you can always catch us playing at a park..

And when dad is home they will always be out playing jeeps on the rocks and dirt. Mathias has loved doing this every warm day that we have had so far and I love watching them bond over jeeps.

Dev learned that his RC buggy was not made for jumping and broke a link. When it came time to fix it, Mathias grabbed his Handy Manny tool box and told Dev "we have a job to do" (if you watch that cartoon show, that will make sense) and "helped" him fix the buggy.

Dev also tried to teach Mathias the correct way to hold a hockey stick, even though they were using golf clubs. Mathias did it once and went back to hitting them shuffle board style.

They have also started "playing guitars" a bit lately. This is cute to watch but Mathias loses interest in this pretty quickly.
(Dev's note: when he loses interest, he tries to help me push buttons. Definitely not helping my score!)

We had some old hamburger buns and bread so we decided to go and feed the ducks. I only know of a few places where ducks always are and one of them is Salem Pond. So we went to feed the ducks there, but they turned out to be pretty dumb ducks and swam away from the bread. So we just threw it all out there then played on the park and grabbed some lunch. It was a fun little outing.

We have also been potty training!!!!
(more to come on that later)

where in the world is spring

I seriously wish that the weather would make up its mind! We went to the park almost everyday last week and today Mathias woke up from his nap to this, asking to go to the park. Um, I don't think so. I think we both have spring fever. Will spring just hurry up and come please!

Playdate with Daddy

A couple of days ago, Dev had a few hours in between appointments so Mathias and I decided to meet him at a park in Sandy and play for a bit. It was pretty nice out when the wind was not blowing.

There was a baseball field right behind the park where they played a bit of soccer. Mathias rarely wanted to kick it to Dev though , he just kept kicking it to me or tried to kick it up the little hill by the park.

We also brought along the bubbles. Every time we open the closet that the bubbles are kept in, he would ask to play with them. But it was always too cold and I did not want a sticky floor. So I decided to surprise Mathias with them when we got there. When we first brought them out he would chase them, then he decided he wanted to blow them himself. However it was kinda windy so the wind took care of it for him.

(I am not quite smart enough to figure out how to do a collage on photoshop and the one on picasa would not put them in the right order and doubled one of them so that is what you get)
He also thought it was pretty fun to roll down the little hill and to do somersaults. He did this over and over again until he was covered in grass and I was dizzy.

He then found this huge branch to play with. It was kinda funny watching him try to pick it up and control where it went. It was a pretty fun little outing and I am glad Mathias got to spend some extra time with Daddy.
