Finally a trip to the park

After months of winter, we finally got a nice enough day to warrant a trip to the park. Both Eleanor and Henry were very excited, and ran all over from activity to activity before settling in to a regular park routine. We had to wake Henry up from his nap in order to make it – he was grumpy at first but as soon as we got him into the stroller and headed to the park he perked right up.

There were lots of fun activities this week – cookie decorating class on Monday, making messes for Mama on Tuesday (see band aid, closet and puzzle piece/cotton ball pictures below) and a super fun birthday party for our friend Colby at the Kid’s Science Lab. We did several “slime” themed experiments, and the kids were pretty interested. On the drive home, however, both kids named eating pizza and cake as their “favorite part”. Notice how Eleanor and Henry are the last two at the table, still eating after 5 slices of pizza and a slice of cake.
