Thursday nights = fun

Fun for all of us. Nate plays in a golf league on Thursday nights in the summer so it leaves extra time for Kevin & I to do something fun. Last night we met friends at a local farmers market. They weren't too impressed with the produce, flowers, live music or people-watching. Instead, both kids were fascinated with a big red caboose. The train car sits on some old tracks where the kids can climb on it, or in Kevin & Ali's case, sit under it like a fort. Very cool.

At the market, Kevin picked some corn. We had it with dinner tonight, yum!

I guess he knows his shapes

This weekend when I commented that Kevin slept "like a rockstar", his response: "No. I'm an oval".

Kevin & Ben

We visited the Dewarts last Sunday to meet their new baby, Connor. Funny that none of us remembered to take a picture of the new baby, we were kind of distracted by the toddlers.

This one looks worse than it is, Ben loves to give hugs!

Do it again!

Kevin learned "Ring around the rosie" last week. He gets SO excited when we do it at home. Here he is with Grandmom on Saturday night!

Living History Farms

We lucked out with decent weather this weekend. Saturday we went to Living History Farms which is an old fashioned, pioneer town & farm complete with tractor rides & barnyard animals (and also 2 minutes from our house!)


All week Kevin had been so excited for his first tractor ride. We told him he couldn't ride until Grandmom & Grandpop came to visit. But when the time came to ride it, he was scared. He did better once we were riding for a few minutes.

There were lots of tractors to see!

Surprise, Kevin...

Grandmom & Grandpop surprised Kevin and picked him up at school on Friday. They came to visit us for the Holiday weekend. By the time Nate and I got home from work they had already played golf, rode the fire engine up and down our hill, played with all.the.balls.in.our.garage, and swam in the froggie pool. What a busy afternoon!

He was so proud to show Grandmom the sink in his classroom. Seriously, he LOVES to wash his hands!

He didn't want to leave school until after snack time, so they gave him some to-go!

Big Boy Bed!

Last week Kevin decided he wanted to sleep in his big boy bed. On Wednesday night he tried to sleep there, but was just too excited in there to actually fall asleep. The same was true for Thursday night. By Friday night he slept the entire night in his new room - all. by. himself.

Nate and I were so freaked out that Kevin could "roam free" upstairs at night time. But, so far he doesn't think he is allowed out of the bed by himself. In fact, we hear him say to himself "don't get out, Kevin". I am not sure how long this will last.

-Sound asleep when we checked on him Friday night-

So proud of him when he woke up on Saturday morning!
