Outdoor Fun

We had a couple of really nice, sunny days this weekend. Of course, we broke out the sunscreen & had some fun.

I must admit, it's so hard to get a photo of Corbin lately. He is so busy- he does not have time to pose! So here is what I could get.

One of his new favorite activities is scribbling all over the garage with sidewalk chalk. We don't do it on the sidewalk normally. He is just too impulsive. But I took a couple of photos out there just for show.

Pardon the background, but he actually looked my way, so I had to snap it!

I'm Too Busy to Look at the Camera

Sorry!

I've been yelled at enough for it already... I'm updating!

Yesterday, Corbin did a fingerpainting on a paper plate. Too bad it wasn't the 4th of July- I had red, white & blue paints. I figured the highchair would be the safest place for it. So that the plate didn't get thrown onto the wood floors, Jon found some electrical tape to anchor it down.

Getting started


Getting into it. You will note that there are no smiles. This is serious work!


He decided to do a little body art while he was at it...


The masterpiece

Hunting Eggs

the lazy way! We just hid some Dove chocolates in some eggs & let Corbin "find" them this morning when he first woke up.

also, Corbin said "Birdy" today, in context. He stopped because he heard chirping & announced, "Birdy!"

Chuck E Cheese's

We went to Chucky's place today. It wasn't quite like how Jon & I had remembered it, but all in all I guess Corbin had fun. They have a little toddler section to play in, but my complaint would be that there were only 3 rides in there + a slide. We got some good photos, though, and Corbin actually ate the pizza (just when we thought he was going to throw that last piece on the floor, he started stuffing it in his mouth.)

This place isn't half bad!


Sliding


I like this stuff!

and when he figured out how to do the slide himself, this is how he chose to slide down it

Busy Busy

We have been so busy lately. I watch Ethan during the day now, and Jon is getting home a little later these days with his new job. So, by the time he gets home, we eat dinner, put Corbin to bed & I either study (for a test that is coming up in less than a month) or we veg out & watch TV.

We have booked a trip to Vegas (childless) in May. Right after we booked it, I started to second guess myself. How can I leave my baby for a weekend without going crazy? I am worried that I won't truly be able to enjoy myself b/c he'll be confused/scared, etc. I'm sure it will be fine after the fact, but I don't want worry to ruin my last baby-free vacation in a long time. Grandma KK & Grandma Mary are going to help us out. A big thank you in advance!

I don't have any new photos, although we have done a lot of interesting stuff lately. We went to the zoo yesterday. It was sunny, but not too hot. Perfect really. The boys had a great time looking at the animals. It must have worn them out b/c when we got home, Ethan took a 3 hour nap & Corbin took a 3 1/2 hour nap! Today, we went to a small children's museum. It doesn't have a lot of frills, but they really enjoyed themselves playing with all of the toys, chalk, etc.

Also, I have made it to 8 weeks! It's 20% over already!
