Three favorite sayings...

Lincoln's three favorite sayings...
"are you kidding me?"
"what the heck?"
"are you serious?"
Apparently I need to watch what I'm saying!

Utah's best kept secret!

Thomas had Monday off of work so I decided to take him and Linc to a place called Jump Around Utah. I really want to take our playgroup there but I wanted to check it out first. It is $4 for a two year old to jump for as long as they want and parents are free (it's mainly for kids to jump but parents can help). They have a huge "bubble" to jump on in the middle, 6 bounce houses (two with slides) and a giant 3 story play place...a child's paradise!!
Sorry, these pictures are so dark because I had to zoom in he was so far away from me (Thomas took him out while I watched from the chairs) but Lincoln is the one in the dark blue shirt/ white collar and Thomas is wearing a white hat.


I love his face in this one!

Aquarium

We've spent a lot of time at the aquarium lately thanks to Greg and Lauren for the aquarium passes! This is a picture of Lincoln watching the penguins...



And if he looks a little wet it's because he is, just before the penguin exhibit he was playing with sting rays. Why didn't I get a picture of that you ask? Because I was too worried that if I looked away for a few seconds he might either
1. Try to swim with them or
2. Start drinking the water
Long story short, the sting ray exhibit is so cool!

Pinching Pennies

I realize my "activities" have gotten more and more pathetic as this pregnancy is getting closer to the end but a lot of them have something in common
1. They're easy
2. They don't require much interaction from me
3. I'm usually able to rest during them

So last week we played with money. I would just dump the change out of Lincoln's bank and he would put it back in. Simple enough and it entertained him forever while I laid down next to him.





Yes, we've found many ways to entertain ourselves including throwing a toy against the wall and thinking it is the funniest thing in the world!

Dog Walking!

Lincoln and I were invited on the best adventure ever! We got to go help our friends Candyce and Stella walk a dog! For some reason I didn't get one picture of the dog but here are pictures of them playing on the playground afterwards...


Stella "catching" Linc...





Cutest boy ever!!!

Basketball skills

We spend a lot of time playing basketball because the weather is so cold. This is a new trick Linc picked up...


Yes, that is him shooting two balls at once and he's not half bad!


But let's be honest, this is the real reason "we've" been spending so much time playing basketball...

Mr. Clean

I finally felt like I had an ounce of energy today so I took advantage of it and got some cleaning done with my little helper.
Laundry...






Mirrors...





Making the bed...





Well, kind of, at our house we make the bed in order to play in it...





Where's "Waldo"?








After doing a few more chores we finished up with some sweeping...


And then we were both spent!!


*I do have some advice to get your toddler to help you clean, it helps to double up on things if you can. We have two dusters and he just follows me around the house dusting. We have a broom and a swiffer sweeper so once again he follows me around cleaning with whichever one I'm not using, and doing dishes I pull up a chair for him and give him his own sponge.
