Ice Cream

Today at playgroup Landon and I worked together to make this ice cream cone. He wasn't into coloring today, so I did that part, and he helped with the arranging and gluing. The best part was adding real sprinkles to the top.

Happy Father's Day!

We checked the book My Dad, by Anthony Browne, out of the library this weekend. Landon's enjoyed reading it. Another good Father's Day read for little kids is Spot Loves His Daddy, by Eric Hill. We own this one, but Landon and I had to leave town for a wedding this afternoon, so we didn't get a chance to pull it out today. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!

Spring Kite

I haven't posted any seasonal projects lately, because we've been spending too much time outside to do much by way of projects. However, tonight Weather.com's radar showed a huge patch of green right on top of us, so we chose not to go on a walk. Instead, Landon and I made a spring kite. I'll admit that it feels more like summer than spring right now, but the calendar still says spring, so I pulled out this project that I've been intending to do for a month or two now. (By the way, it never did rain, so we could have taken that walk. Oh well.)

As you can see, Landon decided he needed to paint with his hands.

First of the California pictures

We've been back from our visit to see my sister and brother-in-law in San Francisco for a week, and I'm just now getting any pictures up. Sorry to those of you who have been waiting. I think I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of them. So I'm going to do a few at a time, until I finally finish.

Here's the first batch. These pictures were taken on Friday (5/23, the day we arrived) at Golden Gate Park. We rode the carousel and played at a playground. Landon called the big turtle statue that he sat on Tuck (as in Turtle Tuck on Nick Jr.'s show The Wonderpets).
