Easter Frogs!

2012-04-01 22:23:37

This weekend was the City Easter Egg Hunt. Mommy had to go in to work early in the morning to help set up, but daddy brought the boys with their baskets and ears for the hunt.

G was happy to find his first egg and dropped down to eat the contents. He was finally persuaded to grab a few more eggs before they were all snatched up by the record breaking crowd.

After Emmett's age group finished their hunt and Emmett found a small frog hopping in the field that had miraculously survived the stampede of 3-6 year olds. While showing it to Grumpy, daddy and Garrison the frog jumped out of Emmett's hand and hit G in the face then landed on his arm.

Garrison was surprised and freaked out. Mommy managed to snap some pictures of him trying to wave the frog off his arm.

What made it even more funny was that later in the day, while we were out on the patio at home daddy found a frog hiding above the slider on the basement between the door and the siding and was showing it to the boys and G wanted it on his arm. After he got to hold it and we let it go to rest he kept asking for it back to hold. Guess frog holding just has to be on his terms.

Garrison Girl Watching

This afternoon when Chris got home Garrison was driving his tractor through the front yard to meet daddy in the driveway. I had walked out to the garage to see what the boys were up to, just in time to see G finish talking to daddy and get distracted by a teenaged girl out for a run. He was just driving behind the van when he caught sight of her and forgot to watch where he was going. I told Chris, "look he's girl watching." Then, we heard the tractor crash into the back of the van. I couldn't control my laughter. We heard him groaning because he had to back up to get unstuck before coming back around the car. Chris asked him if he got stuck, "yep." Boys!

You're Not Doing It Right

Garrison wanted to get himself a snack off the kitchen counter, so he grabbed the first thing he could find to climb up on.

First Snow of 2012

2012-01-14 12:54:13

The first snowfall of 2012 was this week, and the boys couldn't resist going out to play, even though it was only 18*F.

Garrison spun circles around in the yard on his tractor, requiring help getting back up to the house when his wheels spun and wouldn't grip the ground.

Emmett made snow balls and threw them at whoever was nearby!

Garrison Snacks on Carrot

Today Garrison went into the kitchen, grabbed himself a tall carrot and sat down on the living room floor to watch tv.

Playing on the Swing Set

This afternoon Emmett and Garrison were playing on the swing set in the yard. Garrison realized that his legs were finally just long enough he could climb the ladder on the swing set to get himself onto the platform, and down the slide.

We stood next to him just in case he slipped...they were big steps after all!

As he was climbing, he kept looking at the camera making his "surprised face".

Garrison Bee Pajamas

Lately there's been a lot of excitement about bees at our house.

Amy found a pair of bee pajamas and bee slippers that fit Garrison, and brought them home from the store.

Garrison loves them so much, one night this week while he was sleeping (with the slippers on) he rolled over and they came off his feet. He woke up and complained about it until Amy put them back on his feet again...then he was able to fall back asleep.

Garrison plays in a creek, inside a cave

This past weekend Dad and the boys went down to Meramec State Park in Sullivan MO.

They met up with Grandpa Beeson, Jeremy & Jessica who were already down there.

The weather was rainy Friday, which made for a damp and humid Saturday, but the boys did great anyways.

Garrison and Emmett loved playing in the grass field, riding their bikes, cooking food on the campfire and jumping in the tent.

Then we took flashlights and went exploring a big cave at the park. Garrison loved using his little blue flashlight in the dark.

We put sandals on him so that he could get down and walk around. He quickly discovered a small creek that ran through the cave and promptly went over and started throwing rocks into the cold water.
