I just have to say that summer time is so much more fun with Deegan being old enough to enjoy the fun kid things! It is so nice that I am home with him during the day and can play and enjoy the days together! (Last summer the closest I got to playing outside was sitting on a blanket with him next to me and a laptop on my legs while I listened in on conference call after conference call... ugh!) So, needless to say, I AM LOVING THIS! Anyway, here are a few pics to show what we've been up to the last little while....
Deegan and I made dad a Father's day card....
He LOVED painting, so I'm sure I will have more painted pictures to come in the coming weeks/months!
Yesterday we went and got Deegan a swingset. He couldn't wait to play on it, so he played on the slide...
...while we finished putting the rest together. (The instructions to these things are so vague! We had to do a lot of experimenting to make sure we had pole 4a, since it didn't have labels, or screw W2 since the diagram sizes were not accurate, but we made it out alive, and only had 3 screws that were too long and will have to be cut down :-) )
The finished Product! YAY!
:-( Deegan wouldn't come play with dad!
That's more like it! He LOVED it... he started jumping anytime Adam let his feet touch the ground! We had a lot of fun playing while we waited for our artichokes to cook! :-) Yes, we tried again!
For those of you who saw my previous post about artichokes-This is what it SHOULD look like when you have cooked the artichoke properly! They were DE-Lish!
This morning, Deegan went straight to the back door when he got up, so we all threw on some shoes and went out to play for a bit. He's learned to say bubble, so he carries his bubble wand around saying "bob-oh, bob-oh?". I've put him off enough the last few days that we decided we should go play bubbles and slide some too.
They both caught the bubble at the same time and it popped between them!
Then we picked strawberries! MMMMM! What a week- it's been great!

That is so fun that you got a swingset. I'm sure Deegan just loves it! We are so jealous. You definitely have the funnest backyard ever!(funnest may not be word, but it should be)
Wow you guys are in heaven up there. Yummy strawberries, bubbles, a new swingset. I like how Adam tested it out 1st. That looks like a big & fun swingset. So are you home full time now? Did you leave your other job? Wow we really haven't talked to you guys in a while. The next few weeks are hectic but hopefully we can get together soon for a BBQ or something!
Not home full time yet, but I work evenings and 1 day a week, so I am home with him 4 of the 5.
