Easter Weekend Fun..Picture Overload

After work and daycare on Thursday, Logan and I had supper and headed out to a park in our neighbourhood. He had so much fun, it was hard to pull him away to come home. Between not wanting to leave and me belting him into the wagon (so he didn't repeatedly stand up), he cried most of the way home.

Coming down the slide.

Since Scott was bowling at the Ontario Open this past weekend and would be gone from home for most of the weekend, Logan and I packed some stuff up and headed to my parent's place for a couple of days. So my mom came and picked us up on Friday morning. We had a great time in Norwich!

We played in the basement for a while, grandma has toys down there too for Logan and we don't always spend much time down there so he had fun exploring.

Here he is checking out the little rocking chair.

Logan's poor diapers haven't seen much sun this winter so they were in desperate need of being hung outside. Mom has a much bigger clothesline that I do so I took all the diapers so they could get some get some good sun time in. While we were outside hanging up the diapers (which I forgot to take a picture of) Logan explored the backyard.

Finding a ball in the shed.

I thought this was a cute picture of him trying to close the shed door.

Bringing in the airplanes! (Dad, you may need to remeasure where those flags were...)

We spent the rest of the day just hanging out. Logan spent some time getting to know grandpa better and was always VERY intrigued with whatever grandpa was doing. I'm happy to say that after a couple days together, Logan is much more sure of grandpa and likes him!

Scott came and spent the night in Nowich on Friday after bowling and then he and dad and I (Logan stayed in Norwich with grandma) headed back to Hamilton in the morning as his team was competing in the finals. They ended up in third place which is a great finish! I was glad to be able to make it to watch at least a couple of games. Scott had to stay to attend the banquet that night so dad and I headed back to Norwich.

After Logan's nap, mom and I took him to a great park where he had fun exploring.

Getting ready to head up the ramp.

Peek a boo!

After coming down the slide...

Trying out a cool teeter totter type thing...well mom and I thought it was cool, Logan wasn't too sure.

When we got back to the house, Logan opened his Easter gifts and then went down for another nap while mom and dad and I had our Easter dinner.

Grandpa helping Logan with his new gardening set.

Mom was heading to Kitchener on Saturday night so she dropped Logan and I off at home before heading to her concert. We had dinner and unpacked before Logan went to bed, at 7:45pm! This is huge, usually it's barely 7pm when he goes to bed, he stayed up until 8pm on Friday as well!

Scott was home on Sunday morning, Logan was so excited to see him when he woke up. They played together lots in the morning! The Easter bunny didn't make it to our house for Easter morning but he did visit during Logan's nap, so when Logan woke up, he had his egg hunt!

Logan attended an Easter party at daycare on Thursday last week so he knew how to look for eggs and to be excited about what was in them, so he was right into it at our place.

Finding his first egg.

He wasn't too impressed with the eggs that had socks in them!

Found another! Hopefully there will be something better in this one.

YES! Candy!

Playing with the grass from his Easter basket.

Drumming on his new pail.

Scott and Logan spent some quality time together playing in the afternoon and then heading to the park before dinner.

The boys and their toys.


When Scott got home and showed me these last two pictures, he said "guess what happened next..."

It was a busy but fun weekend...now we're back to work and daycare again!
