Summer 2014 - Day 10, 11, & 12

Friday, June 27th - Day 10

Today, we woke up and built trains and towers.  Whenever Ryan builds anything, he narrates almost every move - "this piece goes right here", "oh, this is perfect", "I need a single.  Where is a single?".  It's very cute :)

Examining the carts to make sure they are in good shape

"And this one goes right here"

We made chocolate chip cookies.

Carefully measuring and adding ingredients

Sampling the chocolate chips to make sure they aren't poisonous

Sipping on milk!  Nothing beats milk and cookies!

Then, Ryan took a field trip to Oma and Opa's house so I could clean out a closet and take loads of stuff to Goodwill :)



Saturday, June 28th - Day 11

Pretty lazy day at home today.

We woke up and built towers (shocking!).  We hung out at home most of the day today, organizing stuff, cleaning out closets (very difficult to do with a 2 1/2 year old).

After dinner, we all went to the airport to watch planes.  Ryan really likes going to the observation deck and watching the planes, but now that we know that the sprinklers come in at 8pm, we try to time it so he can run by the sprinklers too :)

Sunday, June 29th - Day 12

Today, we built some more towers :)

Joe and I are having a truckload of mulch delivered later on this week, so we needed to clean up our yard to prep for the mulch.  This, of course, led to use deciding to do some outdoor projects, so hopefully we'll have a decent yard with some defined areas sometime soon.  In order to get the yard ready, we sent Ryan over to Oma and Opa's house for lots of playtime while we trimmed bushes, clipped branches, and weeded the yard.  This is how we spent most of our day - while Ryan was playing with water and having fun outside at Oma and Opa's house.  He didn't end up taking a nap today, so he ended up falling asleep at 8:00 in the car on the way home.  We'll see how long he sleeps!
