Play Time

Why are little boys so sweaty? They play hard, that's why! We've been having lots of fun lately inviting friends over to our house. Pictured above is Will and Carson driving their cars up a homemade slide.
Will and Joseph spent some time playing Bob the Builder and fixing things. Thanks cousin Sam for sharing your awesome construction hats.
Lucas came over on a very, very, rainy day. Munchkin Music was canceled and the day would have been so boring without him. They voluntarily drank spinach smoothies at lunch, notice the mustache, and then wanted to take a nap together in Will's fun bed. Why is it so fun? I'm not sure why all the kids love playing in it. The only thing it has going for it is a door that opens so the kids can climb in it.
One of Will's favorite playground buddies is Sotaro. They are constantly laughing together. It's so fun to watch them play. Sotaro likes to repeat what Will says in English, and Will likes to repeat what Sotaro says in Japanese. Then they laugh. Then they swing and they laugh. Then they play with their trains in the sand and laugh. Then they fight over something, but mostly they just laugh.

March

March... Where have you gone? It's been a month of rain, and I can't remember what we've been up to this whole time. Elliot is three going on four months old. I feel like I have my brain back, but not my old schedule. Elliot is a smile-a-saurus, and is doing a great job holding on to things. We went to a small grocery store the other day with a mini shopping cart. Elliot's car seat just managed to fit in the cart. So I put some of the lighter items near Elliot's feet, and I looked down a minute later to find he had managed to grab the lotus root and get the package in his mouth. What an adventurous little eater...

Britton's spring break also fell during March. We went to the San Francisco Zoo the one not-so-rainy day of spring break. It was a ton of fun. I loved the kangaroos and peacocks the most. The kangaroos were very energetic and fun to watch. And turns out that the San Francisco zoo has these peacocks all over that freely walk around.

Will was a little intimidated by this one that was in our path. Beautiful colors. Beautiful bird.

Will wore his rain boots of course. They are the only shoes he wears these days.

We were all exhausted after only 2 hours. A season pass might be worth it. But then we just got season passes to Six Flags. Oh yeah! We're going to take family trips there this summer with the rest of Britton's family.
