Last weekend we went to my neice’s first birthday party. The party seemed fun- I didn’t really get to hang out at the party, because at the other end of the park there was a playground, complete with a good old-fashioned merry-go-round. The boys were fascinated by the playground. Cole loved the slide, and even though Ryan was still sick, he was thrilled with the merry-go-round. So I spent most of the party watching them play. Here are a few photos:
This weekend, on Saturday, we took the boys to a local children’s museum. We had never been there before, and they had a lot of fun playing. The big hit was the bank- there was even the drive-through tubing which worked, but the canister was missing. The boys loved pressing the buttons anyway, and seeing the door on the tube close. The museum also had a music room, which was another big hit, and I’ll let the photos speak for themselves:
After the museum, we ate lunch. There was a playground where we ate, so the boys got to run around and play even more. They slept like logs.
On Sunday both boys played at their grandparent’s house, outside all day. Ryan went to a birthday party, where he jumped around in a bouncy castle, and played with a new set of toys. He didn’t take a nap today, and I can understand now where the phrase comes from, “asleep before your head hits the pillow.” That was Ryan tonight for sure. Cole was very tired too. I wish I could wear the boys out like this during the week, but I’ll settle for pure and utter exhaustion on the weekends for now.
