Keeping Ourselves Entertained

So...in the recent power outage, we had to find a place to stay...since, well...we had no power and two kiddos. Jonathon thought that our house would have been "okay" to stay at, IF we didn't have the kids. However, I beg to differ, as I am soooooo not a cold weather type person. The house was FREEZING, I could NOT have stayed there...and he wouldn't have wanted to stay there with me. His ears would have started to bleed at the constant sound of my shivering (and complaining). ;)

SO, we kindly packed everything except the kitchen sink and headed to Nan and Pap's house...where we stayed (in complete warmth and luxury I might add!) for a good 5 days. Here is how we spent our days....

We ate. We ate gooood! Nan made many breakfast, lunch and dinners for us...and of course she treated us with chocolate shakes and chocolate pudding. Which, as you can see, Nathan just hated! ;)

Nathan decided to try on Nan's slippers and take a stroll around the house:

Perfect fit!!!

AND...we played...cars:

Lots and LOTS of cars:

We did really have a great time. It was like being on indefinite vacation. Like I said, we lived in the lap of luxury...our own room, bathroom and lots and lots of love. THANKS Nan and Paps for opening up your house to our chaos!

Early Birthday Gift Part 2

Of course, you cannot have your very own tractor without the proper license plate to put on it!

Like Great-Grandfather, Like Great Grandson. Two peas in a pod!

Thanks Nan and Paps for the awesome birthday gift for Nathan!

Early Birthday Gift

Last week, I took Nathan out to Nan and Pap's house for the day, and this is what was waiting for him. At first he was a little timid with it, but before long he was following Paps around "mowing the lawn". He LOVES it!

All new and shiney!

"Hmmm....what is this all about?"

"I LIKE this!"

How Old Am I (Picture of the Day)?

Yes, that is Nathan running around in a walker! It seems that he has become quite attached to it at his Nan and Paps's house. Yes, he can walk. Yes, he can run...but what fun is that when you can do both IN A WALKER?! :) Obviously, he is having a blast!

SOOOO Sleepy

Last weekend Nathan went and spent some time with Nan and Paps, and they just plain tuckered him out. When I went to pick him up, all he wanted to do was lay his head on my shoulder. I got him in the car, strapped in, and he wanted his "choc-mo". We pulled out of their driveway, and when I looked back at him, this is what I found (above). He had fallen asleep while drinking his sippy cup, and the cup was caving in! It was very cute!!! He proceeded to take a 3 hour nap!!!!

You Have A Friend In Me...

Nan and Paps bought Nathan his very own wagon...as you can see, Paps just HATES pulling the little guy around (I am being sarcastic, of course :)).

And it appears that Nathan just HATES riding around in the wagon as well...;)
