We truly have been blessed with such a mild winter (after last winter, I'll take it!). It's been really nice to be able to go to the park so many times already and we even got a zoo visit in! This week is my Spring Break so Harrison and I have had lots of fun things planned. We were thinking of going to Ohio but at the same time, I was kinda excited just to stay put. Here's our week in review!
Friday: Adam was so sweet and surprised me with tickets to the Big 12 Tournament. Harrison stayed at home and spent some quality time with Grandma M.
 |
| Sweet seats - just happened to be on the MU side though.. |
We had
amazing seats! Really wish the KU game ended better but what can you do. We did end up on TV though - thanks Ann for the picture!
 |
| There we are standing up! Crazy! |
Saturday: Harrison and I went over to Grandma M's house and she surprised him with some new toys!!
 |
| A slide? For ME? |
Harrison played outside for a bit and then we went in for a snack. Grandma gave us the cool toys so we took them home with us!
 |
| Teeter totter! |
The slide currently resides in our TV room and makes a great lounger when someone is tired and wants to watch TV. The other two are in the garage for outside play. Every time we walk by the car Harrison runs over to it, says "car" and then pushes every button possible.
 |
| Check out my new ride!! |
Sunday: Well, of course there was a fun rain storm going on but we still went to visit our friend Catelin! She works at
Land of Paws - Harrison found a million things to play with. We somehow managed to only leave with a new ball for our dogs and some Easter treats for them. Harrison took the treats up to the puppies asking them for their approval. It was pretty funny.
 |
| So do you think these look okay? |
Monday & Tuesday: Harrison went to daycare both days. Adam was off Monday so we got some cleaning done around the house and had a fun date day. Both days we also went to the park in the late afternoon/early evening. Monday we went to a bigger park, with about 100 of our closet friends...
 |
| Going down the big boy slide! |
Tuesday Harrison and I just went to the smaller park close to our house.
 |
| I climbed halfway to the top! |
Wednesday: Adam was off Wednesday so we took a family field trip to the zoo with some friends! We packed our lunch and loaded up to see all the animals. Harrison was a little frustrated at first, he wanted to be out of his stroller walking around. He also didn't want to give up his pacifier - it's like he knows the end is near...
 |
| On the train with mommy! |
He did have lots of fun riding on the train, tram, merry-go-round.
 |
| I'm on the UMKC Kangaroo. (Not kidding, says it on the side!) |
And our last crazy adventure was the skyway. Think ski lift but over part of the zoo.
 |
| Look daddy - we're way up here! |
The skyway was a bit nerve wrecking but it was fine. We did see 3 hats that must have fallen off and were in the zoo exhibits. By 1pm all three of us were tired so we headed home!
 |
| I had a fun day at the zoo!! |
Thursday: Thursday morning Harrison and I went to a St. Pat's party with our church group. It was a ton of fun!! It was at the mall so there was lots of room for the kiddos to run around.
 |
| I'm playing in green rice (and making a mess too!). |
We had green play dough, green rice, a name game, a lime sherbet drink, and green rice krispies.
 |
| Play dough!! |
The party was awesome and it was nice to be around a group of kids close to Harrison's age! When we got home, Harrison was so inspired he decided to decorate Eddie for St. Pat's a few days early! (Thank god Eddie is patient.)
 |
| Eddie you need some green! |
Friday: Friday Harrison and I were invited over to our friends' house. We planned a picnic lunch for the playground. Okay... I'm not going to lie... The walk was long and mostly uphill but it made me feel better about eating a gigantic piece of cheesecake the night before.
 |
| Riding the wagon with Laney. Cool dude sunglasses! |
After bestie Stacy
almost killed me on the walk, we got to the most amazing school playground! I would tell you the school but then I'd have to kill you... The equipment was super nice and clean. It had cool astroturf. Nothing was overly dangerous for the little ones. It was awesome! We played for a bit and then we camped out on our blanket to eat our PB&J picnic lunch - yum!
 |
| This slide is really fast!! |
Well that's pretty much our Spring Break week! Lots of outdoor fun and lots of friends to play with!
Happy March!
