Foto Friday |

Foto (Photo) Friday is my show and tell of pictures from the last week.

S has taken on a new chore. Every time he sweeps the stairs he can earn a check mark. He did such a thorough job on the stairs last week that it took him over 20 minutes. It usually take B or I 5 minutes max. He has really gotten into helping clean. He likes to clean the windows too, so I picked up some Windex wipes to make it easier and less messy. If only he would pick up his toys.
The result of our Jell-O deviled eggs. They turned out great and my nieces loved them. I plan on doing a post of how I did them hopefully in the next week.

S did great at the egg hunt at my mom’s last weekend. He took his wagon like he has since he was one and half. Last year he brought grippers with him to help pick up and knock down eggs. This year he brought his kitty scoop that was made to scoop up eggs. (He got it last year in the Target Easter Clearance.) I think S likes to use the egg scooper because then he doesn’t have to get his hands dirty.
When S had to go in the plants to get eggs he left his wagon on the side. He would scoop the eggs and then toss them out by the wagon. He used the scooper to move the plants around but refused to bend over and use his hands. It was so funny to watch.

S refuses to give up riding the small trike. We keep telling him he is too small for it and needs to ride the monster trike or one of his bikes, but he just loves that trike. I think because he can manuever it so easy.
B was busy cleaning under the deck and got the pieces of the swingset out. S loves slides so I had B rig up a temporary slide. S loved it and kept running back to have B put him down the slide again. When B put a stool behind it so that S could climb up himself when S went down he said, “That wasn’t so much fun.” I think the thrill of the whole thing was having B lift him up and put him on the slide.

S was hanging out with me in bed. Instead of laying at the top of the bed with me he decided to lie at the foot of the bed. Derby was totally okay with that and took the spot at the top of the bed with me.
S finally decided it was time to get out the big Toy Story kite and fly it. We both had a great time flying the kite until I accidentally let go of the handle and the kite took off on us.
