What we've been doing for the last couple of weeks

Andrew has been a very busy boy!

TUESDAY:

(2/10/09) He went to hang out with Muh and Grumpa while mommy was at a skills lab for work and daddy was at a test for a job he applied for. Then they took us all out for pancakes at IHOP, Andrew's favorite! Yum!

WEDNESDAY:

(2/11/09) Andrew went to the other grandma's house while daddy was at another test for another job and mommy was at work. He got to go with grandma to cousin Sam's school to have lunch for a grandparents' day. He had a lot of fun!

THURSDAY:

(2/12/09 We got a free play pass from the library and went to the Children's museum. It's a cool program, you can check out the card for 3 weeks and go as many times as you want, up to 4 people. We had to walk several city blocks but we had a lot of fun. (I kicked myself when I realized the next day that the stroller was in the back of the car)

Andrew playing at the produce stand, naming all the fruits and veggies. He was counting too, I would ask him to get me a certain number of one of them and he would bring them to me. Before we left he sat down at the little lunch table and pretended to eat a peach and had me 'eat' one too. :)

We threw lots of balls too and looked out the 'window'

We spent most of our time in the art studio

My little Picasso

Andrew painted several pictures and made some Valentines. We used spools and tape dispenser rings and register rolls dipped in paint to make designs on the hearts. He even went potty at the museum!

I also took him to McDonald's for lunch. He thought he wanted to play in the tube-like play structure but he would just sit by the entrance. Some of the boys tried to show him where to go. They got him to go into a car inside but not much farther. He was very cute in the window outside the car. It was a pretend drive-thru and he was pretending to order practically everything on the menu. I told him he only had 2 minutes until we were leaving and he decided he would go up one of the shorter tunnels and go down a slide.

FRIDAY:

(2/13/09) Andrew and I went to MOPS in the morning, he had a blast in his class and made more valentines for mommy :) He loves to do puzzles there too. In the afternoon we went to a playdate with Kelley and Andew's best friend Ethan, had to get one more in before his baby sister is born. I wish I had remembered to take pictures, they had SO MUCH fun!

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY:

A fun weekend with daddy while mommy was at work. Going to church and fun trips to the park.

*****

MONDAY:

(2/16/09) Andrew got to go with Muh and Grumpa for the day up to Seattle and to Snohomish to take 'Auntie Kara' to lunch for her 16th birthday. He had a lot of fun and didn't even fall asleep in the car on the way home. We relaxed in the morning and went shopping for Andrew's birthday. I can't believe he will be 3 in 6 weeks! We picked him up and went to a friends' house for dinner.

TUESDAY:

(2/17/09) Andrew and I went to the Supermall to meet a coworker of mine, Becca, and her son Ryan. They got in a good play session at the play area and we did a little shopping. I always seem to be able to find Andrew something on the clearance racks. We also went to Red Robin and Andrew had a good time even though he was getting tired.

Andrew has gotten to go on a lot of fun adventures lately, I just wish I had remembered my camera more. :)
