memorial day weekend

We begin our weekend with some sidewalk chalk. Every time we go outside now, we have to bring the sidewalk chalk. We were outside at 8am this morning using sidewalk chalk.

Secondly, we had to make some house calls. Ryan got a doctor's kit for Christmas, but wasn't old enough to use it then. Well, I took it out of the closet. Now, he has to check everyone mouth with his flashlight and chest with his stereoscope.

Thirdly, we went to our cousin Samantha's graduation from college. It rained off and on that night, so there was a lot of playing in the puddles.

Lastly, we went to Ryan's first parade. He seemed to like it. He dance in his stroller when the marching band went by, clapped when everyone else did, ate a blue raspberry slushy and waved a little flag he got.

A Busy Day!

I know I entered the last two posts backwards. Sorry, for the mix up. This post is for Saturday May 16th.

A Busy Day!

We had a very busy day. It started when Dad brought Ryan crib sandbox home. Ryan didn't want to get out of it. He loves it! Every time we go outside, he goes straight for the sandbox. And if we are going somewhere and I don't take the cover off, he climbs on top of it. After we played for a while in our new sandbox, we meet up with Grammy and Grampy at DW Field Park in Brockton for a Mason Picnic. We ate lunch, dessert, played baseball, blew bubbles and of course feed the geese. Lastly, we meet up with our cousins Lisa and Chase. Chase is only 16 days older then Ryan. The boys seem to have fun together. They had the same interests. Finally, we went home to play in our sandbox again.

(not sure why this is underlined)

Look at what I got!
Okay, what do I do now?

I'll help you Dad put the sand in.

Hooray!

This is fun!

Now, I can down to business.

Some sand piles here, some over there.

At the park for the picnic. I'm not eating vegatable at a picnic mom.

Ryan called them "ducks"

Here ducks, here ducks

Ryan says "wow" all the time now. Wow, that ball flew!

''BUBBLES"

Grampy, you hold this.

Chase and Ryan playing ball. I like this ball it's bigger than mine.

How can we get into trouble?

That is a pretty cool tool bench. I'll have to ask for one for my birthday.

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day, we went to Peaceful Meadows in Whitman, MA. We saw cows and had ice cream. It was a great day for all of us. After, Ryan and Scrappy helped Dad with some raking. "MOO"

This is very cold. I'll poke at it.

This is a big strawberry ice cream. Do I want to eat it or let it melt on me?

This is some good stuff.

Scrappy you pick up these sticks and I'll rake them into a pile.

A Party Weekend

Ryan had a busy weekend with parties. On Saturday, we went to our friend Jarrett's birthday party. He had a Spider-man Bounce House. At first, Ryan was nervous to go into the Bounce House by himself. But once he got in there. He didn't want to come out. He also got to hit a Pinata by himself too. On Sunday we went to a cousins First Communion/Baptism. One cousin made her First Communion and her little brother was Baptised in the same weekend. So, their parities were together. They didn't have a Bounce House there but plenty of cupcakes and cookies. Dad and Ryan checking out the Bounce House.
