Todd's Tatler

Today's fun activity comes with a special thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Harper for providing the box!

But his second time on the swings was just like the first...




Oh well, maybe next time!

For the past several days, I have been doing nothing but cleaning and organizing the deepest, darkest, and scariest recesses of our apartment. And Caleb is sick of it. SO! I pulled out the old shower curtain, whipped up a batch of lemon lime Kool-aid playdough, and...well, Caleb wasn't that impressed. But this is the best smelling playdough I've ever worked with! I found the recipe at http://babyparenting.about.com/cs/activities/a/playdough.htm

Caleb likes to run his food-covered fingers through his hair during each meal. Consequently, I thought it was time for a hairdo that was more washable. I held him, and Todd buzzed. Sure...there was a little screaming, but the after picture proves there is no lasting trauma from the experience.

My friend Courtney always holds a little party for the Kentucky Derby. This year, I decided to make my own hat out of a dollar store hawaiian straw hat and some ribbon. With a little work, it turned out alright (if I do say so myself). We had a grand old time picking our horses - Caleb's horse, Dublin, came in 7th...my pick, Discreetly Mine, came in 13th :( - eating Derby pie (SO GOOD! Like a soft chocolate chip cookie in a pie crust), and hanging out with the girls. I think the picture clearly shows that Caleb started to get a little tired of the girly attention by the time we were ready to leave...
