On the Run


Photo-A-Day #3310

My sweet, wonderful, willful little boy. This was Andrew giving me the look when I ask him to run down the bridge and run back to me. First he crawled away from me instead of running.

Later in the afternoon today I took Andrew over tot he zoo so he could run around and have fun. It had rained earlier in the day and overnight. There were a ton of puddles including a really deep one right by the playground. We enjoyed the zoo for a while and then went to the playground so Andrew could climb and play. There were three other little kids there and they all had rain boots. They were stomping around in the big puddle in this boots. Andrew wanted to play in the puddle as well. I figured what the heck and let him have at it. I could always give him a bath later and wash his clothes. So, that is what we did. He splashed around and got soaked and I took him home and washed him up.

Playtime in the Back Yard

Allison and I have been thinking of ways to make our back yard more of a play area for the kids. I suggested that we look into getting a play house. Well, she was at play group with Andrew the other day and he was hogging the play house. Allison mentioned that we wanted to buy one of those. Another mom heard her and asked if she wanted one. They were moving and so she just gave it to us.

I cleaned up an area in the back yard and then set up the play house. The kids were pretty excited about it. It is a few years old and is missing some parts so I went online and tracked down the parts and hardware. Once I receive those I will get it all cleaned up and ready for the kids.
