afternoon at the park...part 2

Here are the rest!!!

An Afternoon at the park...part 1

Brian and I decided to take advantage of the spring weather this afternoon at the park. I was off for a dr. appt. for my wrist and as soon as I knew he was up from naptime I went to daycare and picked him up. We spent about 45 min. playing on the slide and running around. We tried the swings out, but didn't care for them. Probably because it meant he had to sit down!!

mmmm...good Moma!!

The weekends when Brenden is over I usually cook breakfast. (Rob doesn't always care or is up as early as Brian and I) Brenden asked if I would make biscuits and gravy (his favorite!) So I fixed the rare treat. Brian hasn't had milk gravy before and we quickly discovered he did. He licked his plate and then wanted Daddy's and Brenden's. Brenden gave him what he had left on his plate. When he finished he got a bath!!

Brian cooks "been beans"

I forgot to post this back a few weeks ago when this happened and thought you all might like to see what B can get into..(these aren't the greatest photos...but funny story!)









First....he got into "momma's" pots and pans cabinet.. (don't look too closely..it's MESSSYY!) and looked for just the right pan..... (Nana's helping)

next....he grabbed a can of "been beans" from the box we had sitting by the fridge....

then he took the can of "been beans" and set it by the carefully selected pan.

yes....he really did all of this....even down to putting the pan on the stove. (I didn't get a pic of that). Guess I was told that he was hungry!!! :-) This is WHY I don't let him run free when I am working in the kitchen!

Butterfly House part 2 and Faust Park

For some reason Blogger would not let me post all of the pics in one post...so here are the rest. When we finished at the Butterfly House we went to the playground that was right there. Brian had some fun playing on the equipment. We discovered that he is VERY talented in climbing UP the slide the wrong way using no hands!!!!! (Guess he learned that at daycare on their slide in their room!!!)

Have a great week!!!

Butterfly House

Rob's been traveling all week...Tues. he went to Kansas City, MO (came back Wed. eve) then left Thurs. for Oakland, CA. Then Fri. he flew to Chicago and will be there until Mon. (he will be home sometime that afternoon.) I decided to take Brian to the Butterfy House over at Faust Park (Chesterfield, MO) and we asked Nana and Papa to go along. Brian seemed to enjoy it until he got too warm and wanted to get out of there. These are some of the photos I took in the Butterfly House.

5th (!!!) haircut

Well....Brian had to have his 5th haircut today. He seems to have G'pa's hair (Great Grandpa Whitmyer). It is so thick and grows SO fast!!! After we got done we went across the street to visit GeeGee. (He goes to the same place GeeGee does) He had fun playing over there and was really good. Here are a couple of pictures I took while we were there. Hope you all had a good weekend. I ended up having a snow day on Fri. due to the ice. Many of the schools had called off Thurs.morning with the weather coming in but, Granite City did not. It took me an hour to get in to school (it usually takes 25 min. tops) and another hour to get home. The Superintendent must have gotten flooded with calls because we were told at 11am Thurs. that school would be called off on Fri. So, Brian and I enjoyed the day off. We even managed to get out for a little bit (the roads by 10 had been cleaned).
