To take advantage of such a nice day, we had our lunch outside on the porch. It was fun and we needed the fresh air!! Afterwards we played in the dirt and collected rocks.

Picnic On The Porch
Tuesday was 70 degrees!!! We haven't seen the sun in six months so it felt really hot to us!!

Sponge Balls!
I made these a while back and forgot to write about them! The sponge balls were easy to make and were a lot of fun.
Each ball needs 3 or 4 kitchen sponges. (I picked up a 10 pack for $1 at the Dollar Tree). You want plain sponges without the scrubbing pad. Cut them longways so they are skinny. Do this by cutting them in half then half again so that one sponge yields 4 pieces. Stack 12 pieces onto a ribbon and tie tightly in a knot. Trim extra ribbon and fan the sponge.
We played with these in the bathtub but I think they would be fun in the pool. Little man liked to squeeze the water out and throw them. He kept trying to throw them OUT of the tub which was a little bit of a problem since they hold so much water... so we might have to save these for summer!!
Click here for an online tutorial that gives more details on how to make them. It's the one I followed.

Little Guy
The hubs sent me this pic while I was traveling last week and I had to share it because I love the grin on his face!

Jogging With Dad
I am back from my trip! I had a great time but I am exhausted from all of the travel!! The hubs really gave me a relaxing weekend to recover (thank you!) and one of the things he did was take little man with him on his jogs.
It was about 55 degrees this weekend so it was warm enough to be out but we still had to bundle him up! They also stopped by the park while they were out and about and played in the yard afterwards. Aside from that, we really spent the weekend lounging and taking it easy!!

Personal Assistant
This week I am traveling to Charleston, SC for work and have left my little man and my hubby in the care of my mother in law!
As always, my personal assistant will be checking emails and taking messages for me (on his calculator of course).
Have a great week and we will catch up soon!

Loving It Lately!
Lately we have been loving gel window clings! We found ours in the dollar bin at Target (courtesy of Gram P). The Easter bunny also brought some in little man's Easter basket!
Little man loves peeling them from the plastic and sticking them on the window ... then resticking them on another window... then sticking them again.
In our old apartment the love seat was up against the window. We would let him sit on the back of the love seat and play with the stickies. He loved this!! Now that he is much (MUCH) more mobile he likes to run from window to window.

Easter Basket
Little man had a lot of fun finding his Easter Basket and even more fun eating the candy!!! The other side of the basket was embroidered in royal blue with little man's name. It was a gift from Grandma Min and was soo adorable in person!
Here are two videos of him finding the basket. Enjoy!
