Easter Saturday

Lent is Over: Lets Pig out 

on all of those things that 
we gave up for the past 40 days
…like rocks and bark!






 

Today in Cottonwood the women went to a bridal shower and left Andy alone with the men.  

We did all of the things that you think that men would do alone with a one year old child…

Grandpa Devereaux taught Andy how to climb a ladder, 
We took a nice relaxing nap,
Uncle Steven taught Andy how to ride a bike, 
we all watched Steven kayak on ragin’ rapids,
Andy tried to kayak but he didn’t get very far, we had more common sense than that…

A Most Unusual Lunch

This morning as Pete was taking a shower and I was blow drying my hair, Andrew was playing in our bedroom with a basket of toys.  He came into the bathroom and I noticed he was chewing something.  So I did a swift swipe to the mouth and pulled out a chewed up….LADYBUG.  He was very upset that I took his snack away and yelled at him, so he stomped around for awhile and I tried to distract him by blowing warm air at him.  Then he remembered something and looked up at me, smiled, and chewed some more.  More swiping revealed TWO MORE ladybugs.

Crunchy What?

In an effort to become a more environmentally friendly household, we are starting to make some changes around here.  Many of these changes are due to me not wanting to work on writing the paper that is due IN 13 DAYS!  It’s amazing.  I can accomplish a lot while procrastinating.  Here are the first of our changes:

*Crunchy Clean – A laundry detergent made from a stay at home mom.  Very safe to use, no harmful chemicals and you can choose from lots of fragrances.  It arrived yesterday and the mail lady brought it up to the door.  She asked Pete what was in the fragrant little package!  The whole house smelled like linen breeze while we did laundry.  (I scurried around to find anything that needed to be washed, more procrastinating).  We should get about 250 loads out of $20 worth.  
*Vinegar – We won’t be using any more handy clorox wipes on the countertops here, sorry Clorox.  Now it’s just vinegar and water.  Saves money and less waste.  Also, no more dryer sheets…just adding vinegar to the rinse cycle will help with static.  Click HERE to read about other uses for vinegar.

Lazy Day at the Zoo for the Animals, Wild Day for the Kids

We really enjoyed Saturday at the MN Zoo, the animals were a bit lethargic but the company was great.  Andy got to see almost all of his cousins…
…we needed most of them to corner Andy as he ran about mooing like a cow and yelling duct (duck).

Sneezing and Dancing

Andrew has been trying to copy lots of sounds.  He even learned to copy the sound of a sneeze!

We took another stroll around the path after dinner tonight.

Pete and I have learning about how to take better pictures.  Hopefully, you will see results soon!

In the meantime, Andrew doesn’t mind being the subject in all of our photo shoots.

And it wasn’t until Andrew was in bed and we uploaded the pictures that we realized he had picked up a cigarette butt.  Ooops.
