Little Boys and Birthdays
OMG. Connor turned 4. When the heck did that happen? I have a bunch of pictures of his bday party too, but this post is really focused on his overall adorableness – which is him being super cute and dragging me around the Madison Children’s Museum to show me all of the awesome things he can climb on top of…
This is the only hint of the party you all get – see, if you look veerrrrrry carefully there’s totally a piece of cake in the bottom right corner! ha! Take that birthday party!
Focus and perseverance is the only way that you can ever get a tractor with no engine to start. Connor shows me how it’s done.
These two pictures are of Connor climbing on this ridiculously scary looking jungle gym thing inside the museum. I almost had a heart attack, but he loved every single darned second of it… It was also made clear that I was quite silly for being nervous about the whole thing. Which really does make sense since there were about 500 kids climbing all over it – they must have known what they were doing, since to my surprise not one fell to their doom!
I think that Connor would make a fine cowboy someday. He looks ready to conquer the world here. Yeehaw!
Did you know Connor and Lillian are my favorites? Well, now you do.
Today was lovely. An abnormally lovely March has led me to a delightful event. Sandy, sandy toes. Don’t you like, totally wanna poke them and stuff? Well I do. Or, I suppose, I did. And yes, I did poke those toes, leading to many squeals of laughter. Unfortunately, I eventually did have to stop. It was lame. Apparently one can tickle another one’s toes ‘too much’. Lame. I’m gonna have to have a sit down chat with Connor soon about the importance of keeping his auntie happy at all times, even if it leads to his discomfort. The boy needs some priorities I think.
A volleyball net! I love volleyball. It’s sweet. Connor doesn’t know how to play yet, but he will. We’ll starting practicing how to soon. I’ll teach him, and he will love it, just like he loves everything that he does with me.
There was a lovely sequence of photos surrounding this shot, but alas I cannot post them all. I’ll just let you imagine it. I prop Lillian up against Connor. He eyes her warily, and begrudgingly puts his arm around her, his face switching between a fake smile and annoyance. I start to take pictures, and she sliiiiiiiiiiiiidddddeees down slowly. The result of this saga is that I have a bunch of pictures that I thought would be totally adorable, and really this is adorable, but it looks like he’s choking her in most of them. Oh well, live and learn I suppose.
Woaaaaah! This was a very long slide. And he looked like he’d touched one of those electric globe thingies that makes your hair stick up the very second that he touched this slide. He rocks it though.
Lillian was very sleepy after all the playing. Nap attack! Connor didn’t wanna nap though, he just wanted to wander around in circles. So we wandered around in circles…. for a really long time, and now I’m a lil sleepy. I wish I got nap time.
Hi! I’m beautiful! Don’t you wish that you had her pretty eyes? Yup. Be jealous.
Alright Mr. Purple Spotted Rhinoceros, I can take you, you don’t stand a chance. You WILL be dominated. Jerk face, always looking at me funny.
Well, and here we are. You all get extra pics this week because I couldn’t make up my mind about which ones were the cutest. Feel free to cast your vote if you like, but I like them all. Happy Sunday Funday everyone!
Oh dear, I forgot a title.
If in doubt, start with a pic of Connor. He’s fabulous. All the time. He’s apparently going through some sort of “I don’t wanna be in pictures anymore since it’s totally lame” phase, but I was able to snatch a couple of cute ones.
See! Look at this mischievous smile! He’s so cute. Can I keep him?
I like this one because Dan popped in there. I know it’s because he was jealous. He hasn’t made the blog yet, and I think that he was getting impatient. You just never know when Dan’s gonna pop in, he’s so darned sneaky!!!
Awww, looks like Abby and Dan don’t just make cute babies, they also take cute pictures. Success! Although I guess that you can’t really see it so well, this is a dried flower in front of one of their wedding pictures.
I took this this afternoon at Jamestown Huegel Park. The clouds were especially pretty today I thought. They look kind of like….uhmmm… well, I don’t really know what they look like… not at all I don’t think. But definitely something profound. Think of something good and I’ll change this. Looks like y’all have a homework assignment!!
Ooh! It’s electric! (doodoodododoooo, it’s electric!) This should have immediately made you think of that electric slidey pants song. So now that you’ve read this, you are ready to rock out. Bam. You can thank me later.
