Tractors and Naps

Nothing says fun to a three year old boy like "riding" the tractor lawn mowers at Lowe's or Home Depot.  And it looks like the forty something year old little boy is having fun too!

And here's a bit of proof that despite the occasional protest.... Andrew still needs a nap every afternoon.  After thinking it was rather quiet in the house, this is what I found :) 

Not tired

Have you hugged a tree lately?

 

Andrew has :)

Beach Time

We decided on a quick trip to the beach Saturday evening to unload an excessive amount of energy from one little boy - Mission Accomplished :)  If we could just harness a bunch of three year old boys together we could probably solve all of our energy problems.

Name those Cars

We recently got some playdoh Crayola model magic fusion for Andrew to play with.  I think daddy is getting a lot of play out of it too!  Andrew's favorite requests to be made are Car's characters and the alphabet of course!  Here are some pictures of recent creations.  For those of you who have not seen the Disney movie Cars a zillion times, the characters below are a tractor, Lightning McQueen, and a yellow version of Tow Mater.  Too bad we didn't take any sculpting classes in school, they may have come in handy here :)  For anyone interested - I highly recommend Crayola's model fusion - it is much much less messy than playdoh, and is very soft and easy to work with.

Labor Day Reversal

In honor of Labor Day - Alex, Rachel, and Andrew decided to take a break from all their playing and do some laboring while the grownups relaxed.

Alex spent time at a construction site Alex sandbox                                                             

 

 

 

 

 

  Andrew practiced rescue skills.
