THIS WEEK: little people, little lizard, macaroni ear, a sombrero, and a garden


Jaden has named several of his little people, all on his own. Here is the rundown: Grandma Sara, Kayleigh, Grandma Than in her blue pickup, Grandpa Dennis, Grandpa B, Grandma B, Minio on his wheeler.

After 6 months of trying, I finally caught one of these little guys that run all over our yard. I put it in a bottle and let Jaden watch it for a little while, and then we let it free.

Jaden kept telling me there was something in his ear while he was eating lunch. After checking twice & finding nothing,I just started ignoring him. About an hour later, I saw him running around with this. I guess I checked the wrong ear... :)

I've been trying to find new ways to keep my energetic 2-yr-old entertained, as he gets a little ornery, okay a lot ornery when he is cooped up inside the house and bored. I saw this idea to make a lion mask on one of my friend's blogs. Well, we had to cut the whole face out because Jaden didn't like it smashing his nose. After that, he still didn't like it. The next thing I knew, Zoee had a new sombrero, courtesy of my little lion.

We planted our itsy bitsy garden today. Jaden was such a grand helper that I'm not quite sure what will be coming up where. Since it was 86 degrees and the hose water was warm, we decided we might as well have a water fight afterward. It wasn't really fair, since I was the only one with the hose, and Jaden only had a broom for a shield. But we had fun! :)

Can I just tell you how jelous I am that you're have 86 degree weather and we're still freezing in 6 feet of snow!

Nice Lizard. Loved the names of your little people. I am jealous you have a garden now. Darn. Maybe we should move to where it's warmer... :)

What a fun post! I love the macaroni in his ear. So funny! It was very nice of Jaden to share his "hat." They're both so cute. And good job planting a garden...I'm so excited to get ours going this year. Last year's garden was a bust and I'm hoping this one goes better.
