Grandparents' Day

While Kent and I joined the (ever shrinking) work force, Boe enjoyed an action packed day with GramE and GrampE. Bright and early this morning the "Coffee Fairy" arived to deliver my Friday treat and take Boe for the day; Boeing loves his GrampE! From the hourly text photo report, it was evident what a great time Boeing was having with his grandparents. Although the photos are cell phone quality, they certainly reflect happy times. Check out the play by play:

Rainy Afternoon Play

It rained this afternoon, again! With no outside time on the agenda, I decided to make some Kool-Aid edible play dough for Boeing. The stuff was super easy to make and came together really quick. At first Boe didn't know what to do with it; that didn't take long. Soon he was gooshing it in his fingers and mashing the cookie cutters into the soft dough. Surprisingly he did not try to eat it right away. As you can see by his expression, edible does not necessarily mean tasty.

First Play DoughEdible?
Yucky!

After our play dough adventure (and clean up), there was a diaper surprise in the dryer. Kent and I call it a "surprise" when you find something in the dryer or dishwasher you didn't know was there. Guess I am just grateful the surprise was clean diapers vs. dirty diapers! While loading the basket with the cloth, Boe decided to crawl into the dryer. I know it sounds crazy, but he was having the time of his life pushing the light button on and off while I quickly stuffed the diapers. The greatest forms of entertainment are always the most unexpected!

New Year's Resolution

So January is quickly coming to an end and I have yet to initiate any of my resolutions. Motivated by the challenge of one week left in the month, I have forced myself to get moving. The resolution positioned in first would be "start blogging for family albums." Time is passing faster than I could have ever imagined with Boeing and I want to get it down before I forget today's new discovery for tomorrow's.

Kent and I took it easy New Year's Eve and cooked our favorite meal together.
