Guess what?

Logan's new favorite question.  Which I respond to by saying "What?" and tonight he said "I love you mummy."  

Pretty sure he could do any bad thing he wanted to after that.  :) 

Rocks and bark chips

Somehow we have become the proud owners of most of the playground rocks and bark chips in the neighborhood.  Every time we go to a local park (almost daily because of the lovely weather) or Logan plays outside at school (daily), he comes home with pockets full of bark chips or rocks which he proudly displays on the living room coffee table.  

These have been added to our collections of lizards, frogs, and fish which line the bathtub edges. Two months ago I started giving Logan small plastic animals as a reward for sleeping through the night.  We now have about two million of them floating around the house but most of them are in the bathtub.  I collect them nightly and each morning Logan throws them back in.  So funny. 

Mother's Day

So belated but here goes...  

On Mother's day Logan, my parents, and I took a ferry ride to Bainbridge Island.  We had so much fun - despite getting kicked off the ferry.  Who knew you had to disembark even if you were just riding round trip? :)

Before we left, I helped Logan get his backpack on and he started strutting around the house with his hands in his pockets.  He looked so sweet so I had to take photos.  

Walking with hands in pockets is still one of his favorite things.

Parks, Picnics, and First Ice Cream Cones

Lately it has been gorgeous in Seattle - ranging from warm to the truly hot.  (Rumor has it Seattle was warmer than Las Vegas one day last week).  Logan and I have been having picnics in the backyard almost every evening lately.  By the time Fall rolls around I do not think that Logan will ever agree to eat indoors again.

We were having a "grumpy" evening at our house the other day so I took Logan to the local park at the elementary school down the block.  It has since become our favorite location.  

On the ride home, I asked Logan if he wanted to try something special and took him to dairy queen for a kiddie cone.  He was so delighted he just stared at it for a full two minutes until it started to melt down his hands.  Attached is a photo.  I wasn't able to capture the pure moment of astonishment that froze on his face for that time but this smile is pretty great too.
