Cake 2

After enjoying all the candy the night before, Kurt thought he'd have some frosting. He just pulled himself up a "chair" and started licking.

Farm Trip

We were able to take a field trip with the library storytime group and visit a local farm. The boys loved seeing the animals and daddy was able to bring home a new pet (even against my adamant denial of permission) - tadpoles. At least he's keeping these ones outside...

Dick and Jane

Brandon has been reading Dick and Jane with Kurt for the last month. Kurt has picked up reading like a pro. I finally pulled the camera out to capture the skills for posterity. He loves to read the words "something" and "cookie."

19 Cents

These hats cost 19 Cents. Yes, 19 Cents...

We're going to Disney- well, no- Adventureland!

We really wanted to take Kurt to Disneyland this summer (before he costs as much as we do to get in) so we set it as his potty training goal. Yes, this is our 3rd or 4th go at the underwear, but we were very happy that he made it all the way to 100! He had a hiccup around 25 and then another around 40 (if he had an accident, he'd go back to the nearest 10, not to 0). But after that we were home free! And as much as we really wanted to go to Disney, it was still just out of our budget range.So it doesn't have the mickeymouse head in flowers, but otherwise it looked pretty close :)
Riding the Train
The "little" boats. We took them on a big boat (log ride) and Kurt did NOT like it. So when he talks about the rides, he makes sure he specifies that it was the "little" boats he's telling you about. I think he rode them 3 times.
Car ride. They rode a few of the different vehicles on this one.
They had to stop this ride in the middle because Luke wasn't holding very still. He got ejected...

Ladybugs - it was kinda like a rollercoaster. It went up and down around the circle. At first they both hated it, but then they loved it!
Our supposed to be sunny day never was, but we (they) played in the water anyway. Brandon was trying very hard to get Kurt to ride this slide with him. Here he is showing him how much fun it is. Kurt seems to think it was fun for him to do it.

But he wasn't convinced it would be fun for him. We pretty much forced him down it here.

But look at the happy face after the shock wore off.

There was a HUGE bucket of water that would dump over every 5 mintues or so. Brandon didn't hear the warning bells and he and Luke were stuck.

Eating the yummy handmade (well, machine made right in front of us) donuts.

Watching Daddy on the bumper cars. Kurt did ride with him through one round, but then wanted to get off. Still don't know why...

All in all it was a fun day even though the sun didn't come out until 4ish. They also had a cheesy circus that Kurt thought was fun. Kurt was afraid of a lot of rides (It probably didn't help that we rode the log ride early on in the day and freaked him out) so Brandon ending up riding a lot of them solo. And yes, Disney would have been fun too, but we'll go in a few years and have fun again.

"Take me out to the ball game"

We checked a book out from the library about the history of baseball and it tells the story of how "Take me out to the ballgame" came to be. At the end of the book it also included the music for the song. Since Kurt loves music, he kept asking if "he" could play it on the piano. Now, Brandon can do the song all out just like they do at the ball parks, but most of the time, he justs gets me plunking out the melody like it is in his book. But he loves to sing/play it regardless. I've tried catching him singing it a few times, but he always spots the camera and gets really silly. This is the best one I've gotten so far. I love how he sways when he plays and his actions for the words in the song. You can't really see it, but when he sings "If they don't win it's a shame" he also shakes his finger back and forth. What can I say but adorable...

The Caboose

After months and months of deliberation, we finally ordered the joovy caboose. Kurt finally outweighed sitting on top of the graco we had-he would sit on the cup holders, but lately it would pop off the frame b/c of his weight.

Luke was so excited about the box

Then he couldn't wait to climb into the stroller even though we hadn't even gotten the wheels on yet. We couldn't keep him out.Both boys - loving their own seats in the caboose
