busy days

We have been doing tons of stuff and now I finally have a second to blog about it all. This is what happens when Mom goes to the store by herself. She comes home to find Tyson wearing his clothing like this and Dad encouraging it by taking pictures. What a couple of nuts!
We bought tickets for the Sesame Street show months ago and it was this last Friday. Tyson loves the spinning toys they sell. I'm sure they are terribly overpriced but he loves it. I put my foot down on the Elmo balloon $10 bucks for a balloon of Elmo's head. By the end of the night we counted at least $60 floating to the ceiling.


This is how Taylor spent the 2nd half of the show. It was so loud in there I don't know how she slept. Why is it that all kid shows and things are so loud? I know kids are noisy, but making them deaf is not going to help anything.
Tyson had his second game. The running was still a problem, he walked to all the bases again. But this time he did run to the dugout after walking all the bases. That boy.
I did have to do major work on Tyson's pants this week he got them filthy. How you ask? Well I'll tell you, every time the other team would hit the ball, all the boys run after it and dog pile on each other. Tyson would run after the boys and fall in the dirt next to the dog pile. Classic!
On Monday we wanted to do something fun. We have been so stressed with Jason's job and everything we haven't spent any money or done much while he has been off. So we went to the Springs Preserve. We thought Tyson would like it. It had a ton of cool things.



There was this really cool outdoor play area for the kids. Every now and then this snake made noises, it was hilarious to see Tyson. He would jump off the snake and run to us.


Tyson had been here once before with some friends. So as we were seeing different things he kept asking to go to the balls. We stopped everyone we saw and said do you know where the balls are? We finally found the place, he was talking about the oranges. Its a display that tells you all about recycling and different stuff. The "ball" display tells you about your food and how far it travels to get to you. This is a conveyor belt the kids put oranges on and then at the top they fall out the shoot and go everywhere.

Tyson would have been there all day if we had let him.

This is an actual garbage truck that they have turned into a theater. On the side of the truck they have flatened soda cans and on the inside of the truck they have garbage cans with cushions on top for seats. It was super cute.



It was a fun day : )

  2. Too much fun- we will have to put it on our list of things to do with the kids before it get too hot outside!

    Don't you LOVE coming home and never knowing what you will find when you get there?! I thought it was only my house where that happens! At least Jason took pictures for evidence!

  4. You guys stay so busy! I have never been to the Springs Preserve but have heard great things about it. Where did you sign Tyson up for t-ball? Do they play close by?
