Mexican for dinner – yum!

It turns out moon sand is awesome stuff.
Abram and Alex are seeing a lot of each other these days. We played yesterday before naptime and today we joined Amber and Abram for a trip to the Children’s Play Gallery.
As soon as Alex woke up from his morning nap we got ready to be picked up:
The boys shared Kix and apple slices (which Alex won’t eat when I prepare) in the backseat as we drove to Delafield. What a great time we had playing! There was a huge pirate ship to climb and play on, a stage and dress up clothes, an art area, a construction site, a tree house, moon sand, and a play kitchen. The boys definitely had a blast:
As we were driving through downtown Delafield we saw a cute children’s store called Tadpoles and just had to stop. They even carried Angel Dear blankets and we managed to leave without buying a new one – whew! We got home and both boys were ready for a nap.
The day doesn’t end there though. The boys played together again after nap time. We ended up in Abram’s bedroom with his firetruck bed. Alex was in charge of the light and Abram was driving:
The cutest part of the day? When Abram refers to Alex as “my friend”.
Today we made rock piles.
Madison is up to her old tricks. Twice in the last few days she has escaped the backyard. Wade’s theory was she only escapes when we have the door shut and she can’t get to me. Well today Alex and I were playing in the backyard and I watched Madison get mostly over the chain-link fence chasing a bird. I caught her before she succeeded, but that definitely shoots Wade’s theory. We’ve talked about putting in a taller fence for the two years we have been here. I think it is finally going to happen.
I have a little weakness for buying myself a treat when I go to Sam’s Club. It’s usually a book (or Airheads, or M&Ms, or dish towels, etc), but today it was Twizzlers. These are always a favorite for Wade, but I go through phases. Right now I can’t get enough. I’m not sure if them being individually wrapped makes me eat more or less.
My little soldier.
Alex has been fascinated with my rubber band gun the last few days.
Alex had a lot of fun taking his entourage of Angel Dear blankets to my Dad one by one. We were never sure if he was sharing or trying to convince my Dad to let him play on the computer.
Alex figured out a way to see out the window. I’m just glad he hasn’t figured out how to climb on top of the radiator.
