Thomas the Train




David is still a Thomas the Train fan, so we took off for Connersville to take a train ride. We did this last year too, so it wasn't a new experience, but we still had fun. The bounce house was a big hit too!

Future Pilot


David wants to be a pilot when he grows up, so we went to the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday. He really liked the planes, especially the one painted like a shark.

Gymastics


David still likes gymnastics! He's still with the 4-5 year olds, but so far can hold his own in the class. He says his favorite event is the vault.

Peter Rabbit and grown up clothes


This year at Easter, David was going through a Peter Rabbit phase. I looked EVERYWHERE for a Peter Rabbit toy, like the one on Nick Jr. There was an ad that Walmart had the "latest" Peter Rabbit toys. I think I walked every aisle of at least two WM stores never found any Peter toys. So finally I went online and tried ordering from Amazon. Then someone must have been about as desperate as I was, and placed their order before mine, so there were none left, so I closed my eyes and ordered the larger one at the other vendor page and paid for shipping. Ugh! Peter arrived on time, but there were two in the box! I guess the toys multiply as fast as the real ones!

Recently David has been really specific about the clothes he will wear. I'm tired of buying things that he refuses, so he picks out his clothes now. (How silly for me to think that only little girls and their mommies have this issue.) So this year, he picked out his Easter clothes, but when it was time to wear them, he exclaimed, "But I'm not big enough for these clothes!" He wore them for the picture, and they've been in the closet ever since.

another project finished


I managed to finish another quilt -- this one has a cat theme, with cat fabric from my travels before David. You can play a matching game to find the cat and the spool of thread that are the same, but you have to stay still long enough. :-)
