Playground Slide

I took the boys to Franklin Park today after Little Guy's OT appt. The OT office is a 15-20 minute walk from my house, and the park is another 5 minutes from that. Little Man has to be strapped in the stroller during the 1 hour OT appt for Little Guy, so he was ready to run and play by the end of the hour. He had great fun running around the playground, and especially liked the slide. I got some great pics of his hair full of static electricity, but you can see his face, so I picked this one to share with you all.

Strawberry Picking

I took the boys to one of the local strawberry fields today. I met my mom, my sister and my niece up there. We had a good day for the first official day of summer. Boy was it hot! I don't think Little Man had ever had strawberries before - he seemed to enjoy them. He really enjoyed playing with the hay between the rows. My mom is recovering from a stroke she had on April 21, but she is doing well. She enjoyed being out with us to pick strawberries, and when it got too much for her, she just sat and played with the boys! They like Grandma! So we had a good day. I got a big box of strawberries, and now just have to find time to do something with them. But I got lots of great pics!

A New Sandbox

I found a sandbox for the boys today at Other Mothers. It's one of the green plastic turtles with a lid. I got it for $10, then bought 250 pounds of sand for another $15. And Little Man loves it! So it was well worth the money and the grunting it took for me to fill it. But it's a great thing for Little Man to play in - I remember playing for hours in a sandpit that my dad had dug for me. Of course, we lived on a 20 acre farm, so we had plenty of ground to dig in, but the sandbox was my favorite! And now I can pass that fun down to the boys.
