Happy Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day! Did you know that most cereal box liners are made of #2 plastic (high density polyethylene)? I didn't, and I've been separating them and throwing them in the trash forever! I learned yesterday that they can be recycled with the rest of the #2 plastic we generate around here. We go through several boxes of cereal a week, so this is good to know and I thought I'd pass it along!

Egg hunting

The rain held out while Jack and his friends from playgroup had an Easter egg hunt a couple of days ago. 

 All of the kids had blast playing once all the eggs were found. 

(Check out that playhouse!)

Jack mastered the ladder...

He must have climbed it about 20 times, so that he could go down the slide! It was a fast slide and every time, he was sort of launched out the end, landing on his bum while he laughed hysterically. He never hesitated and ran around to the ladder again. I literally had to drag him away when it was time to go.

A little bit of Spring

Spring seems to be taking its sweet time arriving around here. Cool, rainy days seem to be the norm this year. We have seen a few hints of the sun, now we only need the temperature to rise. These two shots remind me that even though I haven't broken out the flip flops yet, warm days will be here soon.

Halfway!

It's hard to believe that I am already 20 weeks along! Time is certainly flying by and I know once the summer starts it's going to fly by even faster. Usually, I wish for time during the summer to slow way down, but I have a feeling I am going to look forward to turning the calendar ahead for the next few months...

Camera phone shot...

After music together class this morning, Jack and I had lunch with some new friends...We went to Friendly's so we could all get some ice cream for dessert...Jack ate all of his grilled cheese and applesauce, but he didn't want anything to do with the vanilla ice cream.  He had no problem eating the entire sugar cone dipped in fudge though!  Oh well, that meant more ice cream for me! :)

Wordless Wednesday

29 Months

I think Jack might have had a growth spurt recently, because all of a sudden the sleeves on his shirts are too short and his pants are getting harder and harder to pull on. He is growing too fast...can someone hit the pause button?
