April Weekends

Our weekends this month have been busy!  We've been doing more home improvement work including building a new shed. 



I had grown tired of the collection of Cassidy's outside toys accumulating on our playroom floor;  not only because it was a pain to clean around, but also because we have to keep them babygated off to prevent Baxter from "claiming" them as his own.  So now we have some outdoor storage space for Cassidy's things conveniently located next to the back patio and easily accessible!

We also continued on our landscape improvements.  This change was motivated again by the dogs, who habitually jumped over or through the small fence we had surrounding this area to dig up the mulch and weed barrier in search of lizards, bugs, or imaginary bones they had left there on a previous day. 



So we've replaced mulch with rocks and hopefully the digging will stop.

We've also entered the "birthday party" phase.  It seems that just about every weekend we have a birthday party to attend for one of Cassidy's classmates.  This is usually great fun because of the new trend of celebrating preschoolers birthdays at various places like bounce houses.  The last one was at a place called the Monkey Room, an indoor playground with slides AND a bounce house for the private parties.





I'm not sure which Cassidy enjoys more... the playtime or the junk food which we never have in the house.  She's recently discovered Cheetos, which are defintely her favorite (although "Chippies"- any type of potato chip, etc) are also right up there).  In fact, she spotted a bag of Cheetos at the snack shop following her swim lesson and would hear of nothing else as a possibility for snack. 

More birthdays coming up in the next few weeks ... this time at Storyland in City Park! 

We've also been watching Daddy play soccer in two leagues, and Daddy's done some spectacular cooking! 

Lamb with Rosemary, Lemon, and Wine sauce.  YUM!
