A Day At Home

it's easier to ride this way
here I go, but mommy cut my feet out of the pic

The brakes on my car needed to be fixed today, so we took Kenny to work, so that we could have his car. We wound up just staying at home, though.

We played outside for a little bit. Sean rode his scooter and then he stepped in ants, so that was the end of being outside. He wanted ice for his bite, so I gave him his ice cube from boo boo bunny to put on his foot. This made it all better.

We both took a long nap and then went to pick up Daddy and then my car. I visited with the women in Kenny's office while Sean played with the copy machine and got a sucker. Then, we came home for a relaxing night.

Ants and Frogs

"I don't want to see the frog"
the frog that no one wanted to touch

After Kenny had worked so hard on cleaning the patio, I decided to go to Lowe's this morning with Sean to get some plant holders and seeds. We came home and we planted some new plants that we will watch grow and Sean "helped" me clean some of our vinyl siding on the patio. We both wound up soaked in water, but Sean had fun and I was pleased with the way the patio is shaping up. I had also bought a plant that is already grown and had set it on the center of the patio table. Sean must have not seen me do this, because when we came back outside this evening, he said with his eyes wide, "it grew, mommy"! I had to laugh. I told him, "no baby, that was already grown and we have to wait and watch for our other plants to grow." I know that he'll have a lot of fun watering the plants and looking for them to grow.

We did encounter a lot of "ant pilts". Sean and I both got some bites :(. His curiosity got the better of him (which it always does) and he took his foot and touched the pile, just enough for the ants to come out and bite us both.

Before the rain came, we saw a frog. We see many of those because of where we live and Sean has never been afraid, but today he wanted nothing to do with it. Here are some pics.

A Britney Spears Fan??

The finished product
Is it green, yet?

I'm not quite sure what to make of this

Sean had a rough night sleep last night, so I needed much coffee today! Sean woke up and immediately wanted to go get a carwash...his favorite thing. I said that we would do it later. Then, he wanted to paint. I told him, after I had some coffee. He held his paintbrush and kept looking at my coffee mug to see if I was finished. Once my eyes, were fully opened, I got out the watercolors. Sean had more fun painting the table than his watercolor book.

Sean's godfather and uncle's birthday is tomorrow and his friends are having a crawfish boil in his honor on Sat. Uncle Danny passed away in Jan. Sean doesn't understand at all. We've explained angels and Heaven to some extent, but he told me this morning that Uncle Danny is at the doctors office. So, we headed to the bookstore to look for a children's book dealing with loss. A strange thing has been happening when we listen to the radio in the car. Whenever, a Britney song comes on he says, "turn it up please, Mommy". I'm usually getting ready to switch the station. He only asks me to turn up the radio when her songs are on. It's really strange. We need to go back to the dvds in the car!

I couldn't find a book for his age at the bookstore, so we are just going to keep telling him when he asks that Uncle Danny is an angel and leave at that for now.

Sean did take a nap today!! Yeah!! His mood was much better this afternoon. When he woke up, we went to ride his bike. Along the way, he saw an "ant pilt" and asked me what their names were! He's so cute and curious!

When, Kenny got home, we dyed Easter eggs for the first time. Only one egg was broken and there was no huge mess, so all in all it was a success!
