one evening we went to the park to try and fly kites without any wind. crazy how we were totally defeated? actually it had been windy all day long, but of course when we get to the park, there wasn't even a light breeze. that didnt stop us from attempting to "try" and get it up. no such luck. :)
brody and i went to lunch with some awesome new friends of ours and quite throughly enjoyed ourselves!
brody and i drove up to IKEA to do a little shopping for a couple of things, he had fun testing out the toddler beds. after IKEA we headed over into D.C. and went to the Simthsonian National Zoo for a couple of hours. it didnt disappoint!
we had a great time at the zoo! we saw cheetahs, zebras, mini fluffy horses, an ostrich, the elepahants, and a huge highlight...the giant panads! they were so cute! we loved them! it was first for both of us to see pandas! we spent a good portion of our time watching the pandas and we were lucky that all the animals we pretty much up and at'um, so that was fun. brody was determined that we wait in line for the mammal house (which consisted of little monkeys, birds, hedge hogs, and other little critters). he was thrilled when i let him have the camera to take pictures all throughout that exhibit. so he of course loved every minute of it!
on the way home from D.C. we were lucky to avoid having to get gas (wowzers!) and brody crashed all the way home! having a crazy good time can tucker you out!
i made easter cupcakes for tyson to take into work. from what i heard, they were mighty tasty!
we had relaxing evenings and brody entertained himself with this box for many hours!
we had friends come over and do a little easter treat activity, which they LOVED! i melted chocolate and gave each kiddo their own bowl of chocolate, and they all dipped peeps into the chocolate then dipped there peeps in sprinkles. so fun and yummy too!!
without a doubt my favorite part of the week was when i heard brody yelling for me..."I DID IT MOMMY, I DID IT!! WOOOOOOOOO!", followed by lots of clapping! i came into the room to see brody tickled with happiness that he put Mr. Potato Head together all by himself. and i let him take this picture. he was so proud! it melted my heart!! what a little stud!
it's weeks like this that make me the most happy. simply doing little things everyday to have fun! nothing over the top. just us doing things we love, and doing them together! i feel so lucky to be able to do the thing we do. onto another week of this and that. can you believe it's already APRIL??
