promise of spring

We did our best to take advantage of this weekend - the warm weather had us all out and about from morning till night. 2 days at the playground, 2 home shows and a little shopping (1 Mr. Potato Head, 6 bathtub crayons). Craig was so happy to be warm that he was inspired to cook meat over fire and dream up plans for the garden. After a long cold winter, it sometimes feels like we will keep on plodding along this way: chilly, chapped and bundled up. But a weekend like this reassures us: spring will come again! The Adam's lawn & garden show was not what I expected at all, but it was very pretty and it smelled fantastic.
fish: always intriguing
He may be off the fruit kick right now, but in the supermarket he is all about picking it out and counting how many he's collected.
and now for a brief nap - we drove around and looked at houses until he woke up and went on to the playground

which was packed with toddlers and full of good things to play with - and the space to do it in!
Daddy is so funny

Snot n sass

He seems to just be used to having a crusty sore nose at this point, because when the tissue starts coming at him, he barley makes a peep.

But he has been unusually sassy this week (is the beginning of the terrible 2's?): everything is a projectile.
