Getting riled up before bed

But it's so darn cute, how can I get mad?

I scream, you scream, we all scream for donuts

Since I discovered that pancake mix makes decent baked donuts I've been making them more often.  I made a bunch yesterday with strawberry puree in the batter and in the icing (well, syrup) and they turned out yummy.

Plain batter is good, too, dipped in maple syrup.

Plus it makes baby feel like a giant.

A couple weeks ago, I made some with blue berry puree left over from baby's puree phase.

Giant baby!!!!

New generation at the library

I needed to get out of the house, someplace baby friendly, so we headed to the library.
They have a little computer station.  Archie was trying to say hello to a couple other kids, but they weren't interested in a little kid.  Oh, well.

He played with the computers anyway.

At the park

If you listen closely, you can hear him singing "The red red robin, goes bob, bob, bobbing along."

Easter 2017

We went to 2 egg hunts for Easter, one at our church, and one at the local baptist church.  These pics are from our ward hunt.  Baby and I got there 15 minutes after it started and about 10 minutes after it was kind of over.  All the eggs had been picked, and I'd forgotten a basket anyway.  A couple kind boys lent baby a basket, and tried to get him to pick up an egg from the ground.

He had no clue what was going on.  He just liked playing with the big kids, and, of course, the basket.  

We went to the local Baptist church right after with some friends.  I dropped by our house to pick up a little toy bucket that's meant to carry little plastic shapes.  It didn't help.  Baby still had no idea he was supposed to pick up eggs and put them in the bucket.  He was more interested this time in stealing another baby's bottle.

Spring storm

Playing in the snow/rain that is wrecking my lilac bushes.

Yard work

We have this random spray of lava rock and red paving stones right in the middle of the yard.  It's a pretty effect, but a pain when for mowing or for running maniacally back and forth.  Since we do occasionally mow, and baby loves to run maniacally back and forth, we decided to get rid of it all.

Baby is surprisingly strong for a 22 pound weakling.
