An Afternoon with Papa & Bebe!

Today we got to spend some quality time with Papa & Bebe while Mama was at work and Daddy was still on his work trip.  It was a fun surprise to have them come and pick me up from school and then have them all to ourselves until Mama got home!

Me and Papa made a lane out of cars that we then drove my remote control car through.  Please notice the difference in my car's position in the lane and Papa's:

Then I thought I'd try Papa's glasses on for size:

And for an extra treat, Bebe read us our bedtime stories:

The Carseat Debacle

Daddy had to go to Vermont for work for the week and what a week it was!  We realized Monday that we needed an extra carseat to put in Papa & Bebe's car when they came to hang out with us.  Crud!  So we went to Target - no dice.  So then we headed up to Babies R Us and found one that was perfect (or so we thought).  You'll see why it wasn't so perfect at the end of the post.  Big time Mama Fail.

Doing what we do best:

And we couldn't leave before a little of this nonsense:

So happy about a new carseat that I actually kissed the box - completely unprompted:

Enjoying a giant cookie slice after dinner at the mall:

Little cookie monsters:

Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the handsomest one of all?

Who knew the Disney store played movies?  We didn't until today!

A few races before we headed back to get in the car:

So...when Mama pulled out my new carseat when we got home that night, she discovered it was PINK - my LEAST FAVORITE COLOR!  Somehow we both completely missed the picture on the box.  Big time sad face.  And this is the face I made to her every morning that I had to sit my can in this awful thing.  Once Daddy got back home, we went and exchanged it for a proper boy-colored one:

Soccer

Two of my biggest fans snuggling on the sidelines:

Getting low and serious:

Scoring a goal!

Playing Hooky!

It was the last day of my Spring Break, so everyone decided to play hooky with me and spend the day together.  We started off with a giant breakfast at Crescent Moon and then we headed to the Zoo for the afternoon.  If only we could have days like today every week!

Hanging on my gorilla friend:

This is the least ridiculous shot Mama could get of us together:

Consulting the map to decide our next stop:

Engrossed in the Birds of Prey show:

In the elephant room with Mama:

Checking out the reptiles:

Coin battle (everything's a battle!):

We could not get enough of the panda bear:

And of course we had to play on the cannons before we left:

A Visit with Uncle Dan and Laura

We got a treat this weekend with some of our favorite house guests - Uncle Dan and Laura!  We caught up on some much-missed playtime and we got some snuggles in too - when Sunday came around we were not ready for them to go!  We love you both very much!

Having a battle on the Square:

Building a very cool castle together.  This was taken moments before I did my next favorite thing - smashing the castle to bits:

Having some quality time with my stuffed animals:

A few pictures before they left - we're going to miss you!
