Our Fun Weekend!

We had an amazingly fun weekend!

First here's a pic of B playing with his new clubs 2 weeks ago :)
he's obsessed i swear!

Then we tried to dye eggs that weekend at my parents but he was too involved with the activity mentioned above so i did it with him last Tuesday night.

decorating with stickers

and coloring

The final product... too bad i hate hard boiled eggs!

Then Sat AM we had my Niece Olivia's 2nd Bday party

And about 75% was spent doing the above basketball.
(shocker again for you all i am sure)

B and the blur of Olivia

Yummy Cake!

Sunday we had bunny brunch at my parents country club

I just love my boys in ties :)

Above is the trophy that B says he's going to win
(the one at the top of the cabinet)

Then after we eat and sit through the crummy magician we have the Egg hunt!

which lasts like 30 seconds

but how can you not think the wait is worth that smile?

Happy Easter everyone!

3 Yr old stats

Brandon went to the Pediatrician last week for his 3 yrs check up.
He was 39.5" so 90 percentile
and 33.6Lbs which is the 70 percentile
so as Kenn puts it "A tall skinny kid"
He did amazing at the Drs office, she asked if he could pedal a bike (since LAST year)
Asked if he knew his colors and shapes, I said yes
then pointed to a sign in the office and had him identify all the letters :)
She said his speech was wonderful and fluid.
She asked if he could put on his own clothes... which at the time i wasnt sure.
So since then kenn and i have been working on that and yes he can take on and off his clothing for the most part. That actually leads to a funny story.
Kenn wanted to make sure he could put on his clothing so he said "do pants go here"
and then placed the pants on b's head. B said no and showed them where they went.
Well since then b has made up a song "pants on the head".
He repeats that over and over in a sing song voice.
well Sat my friend Lisa and i had the kids at Kohls and b was hyped up on the free
Ritas we had right before we went there so while we were checking out he started
singing his song... well b/c he wasn't pronouncing "pants" very clear
it sounded like he was saying "piss on the head". So the check out girl
gave me a wide eyed look and said "What is he saying???"
I then corrected her embarrassingly....

Well back to the Drs... only thing we need to work on is him eating more veggies.
We also ran out of pull ups so B started nights without them on Friday night and hasn't
had any problems. (he really wasn't wetting the pull ups but we had them)
The Dr then gave him a shot that he didn't get last year b/c they ran out.
All i said was "ok your going to get a pinch" she gave him the shot he looked
down at her like "WTF did you just do" and that was it!
He is so good!!! Then we went to the park haha.
(where he experienced his second peeing outside next to a tree)
After he told me "I made the tree very happy"

Now that the weather is beautiful we spent damn near ALL of our time outside.
B's been going on daily walks/bike rides with me around the neighborhood.
Going to parks, and playing in the yard with his many sports paraphernalia.

Kenn has also been working very hard he completely re-landscaped our front yard the last 2 weekends and then put compro/grass seed and mulch on the new garden.
THEN he built shelves in his shed so he could store more things.
B and I picked out flowers for the garden and I planted them.
I have to say it looks amazing! We need one more big tree/plant
to put in the center and then i'll post pictures :)

Otherwise just getting ready for the outside fun trips, DC and Balt Zoo,
outing with thomas at the B & O railroad, childrens museum in Philly and long-wood gardens!
We can't wait!
Here are some of the pics from B's new school pictures taken in March!

OC

A friend of mine suggested that we go to OC for the weekend and bring the kids.
I know another girl from high school that lives in DE right outside of OC so I suggested
that she and another g/f who lives in York, PA hang out also.
The short story is the orig friend bailed out and I decided I would just drive up for the day
since the other two were still going to meet. My mother graciously decided that
she would take B and I overnight so we wouldn't have the long trip.

First, we haven't been to OC for 2 years...
This was B at the Hilton last time we went.

This is B now!

It was raining all the way there but once we got to the beach it was fine.
We had to kill some time before we met up with the friends so this is
brandon making a sport out of anything.
He just plopped down took off his socks and chucked them as far as he could.
he would get up, grab the socks, run back to the edge of the doorway and do it again.

Then the 3 of us went out to the beach
He wasn't very thrilled about getting his shoes sandy at first.

He found some shells and in true B fashion
would throw them into the ocean

later we went to the boardwalk to meet up with my friends.
We saw a large crowd of people on the beach, then they started to move.
This is what we saw as it cleared.

It was horribly sad and fascinating all at the same time.
I'd had never seen a whale before but I didn't know
how to explain to brandon why the humpback whale wasn't in the water.
Luckily he didn't seem to grasp what was happening.

We then went to the arcade where he got to play "real bowling"
Or as real as its been for him VS the Wii games.

Then basketball

Here is brandon with all the kids
(3 belong to one woman and 1 to the other)

That night my mother watched B at the hotel and the other girls had their families watch their children and we got to go out for dinner.
Sunday the 3 of us had a nice breakfast at the hotel and drove home.
Besides not napping Brandon had a great time!
(he was telling me today about throwing seashells into the ocean)
