Fun with Grammy Carol & Auntie Lesley

We had some great visitors this past weekend...Grammy Carol and Auntie Lesley came for a visit! We all had fun going to local parks/playgrounds, story time at the library, watching a kinetic sculpture race and going to the pool! We sure did fit in a ton of fun!!

Here Grammy Carol and Dylan are walking to a playground after feeding our favorite ducks.

Mama and Cole among the ducks and geese.
Auntie Lesley taking a spin with the double wide during the kinetic sculpture race.
They guys made sure to take advantage of extra family members in the house...especially by asking to for stories and (demanding at times!) to be picked up and carried around. Here Auntie Lesley and Dylan are reading about trucks.

And Grammy Carol too was convinced (not hard to do!) to sit and read stories...

Auntie Lesley and Cole walking to the car after story time at the library. They guys LOVED being able to hold Grammy and Lesley's hands when we would go out...they usually have to be in the stroller when it's just Mama (Mama's not brave or fast enough to walk around downtown with the guys by herself!)
Cole at the playground.

The guys had fun showing off how they love to take their bath outside in the pool. Mama fills up the pool with the warm water from all the hoses in the yard and the guys have a blast. The only trick is to keep them away from grabbing handfuls of dirt from the potted plants and putting in the pool/bath...we have had to 'start over' with bath time several times!

Daddy's shirts

The guys got into Daddy's closet this afternoon and happened to find his brightest, most colorful shirts...then of course they had to wear them around the house!
Cole is so happy to be wearing Daddy's clothes!

Cool Ride

We took the guys out for a spin around the neighborhood in their GoZo stroller before bath time. Check out the fashion statement...rubber boots, sun glasses, hats, and for Dylan...no pants!

Cole is very serious about sittin' back, enjoying the ride and checkin' out the scenery.

The other morning Mama got up after all the boys, only to find that she had missed out on a baking soda party in the kitchen, dining room, part of the living room and hall! But she ended up being the clean up crew!

Teddy Bear Picnics & Cute boy haircuts!


The Corvallis Library just had their annual Teddy Bear Picnic. There were friends and fun music and teddy bear stories...and a surprise visit from Curious George (they don't know who he is and were somewhat apprehensive of a human sized, big headed monkey!). The picnic was in Central Park and just a block from Daddy's work!

Mama is getting faster at this little boy hair cut thing...

The guys are generally amenable to the whole idea...especially if Mama puts a video on the computer for them to watch!



Now one of the guys favorite things to do is take handfuls of soil out of the potted herbs...here is a quick demonstration of how much fun they have doing this activity.
