Green Canyon Hot Springs

Yeah!  We finally made it out of the house for a family activity.  I cannot wait for this semester to be over!  Walter had a lot of fun swimming and watching older kids cannonball into the pool.  We didn't get many pictures, as it was so humid in there that the camera lens fogged up really quickly.  Good times, though.

Chair

Walter finally figured out how to climb up on the chairs.  He's never been much of a climber, which I have been grateful for, but it didn't take much longer for him to realize that once you're on the chair, the tabletop is not much farther.  Now I catch him dancing on the table and laughing.

(These are pictures of him carefully arranging Curious George and Winnie the Pooh on the chair to join him.)

Mascara

As I was getting ready, I handed Walter my mascara.  He kept trying to pull of the lid, like it was chapstick, so I thought it would be OK.  He walked off and came back looking like this.  Apparently he can not only twist the wand out, but he can apply it without jabbing himself in the eye.  I would pay good money to have had a camera on him when he accomplished this.

Coloring

Walter has been quite sick for the past week, and watching excessive amounts of TV. I finally pulled him away and had him do something creative. Yeah, that's a Rainbow Brite coloring page. AJ got sucked in pretty quickly.

1. Walter is grinning in this last picture because he knows darn well that he's not supposed to put the crayons in his mouth.

2. I tried to give him a different color crayon, but instead of handing me the one in his hand, he started a violent sword fight with it instead, laughing the whole time. (He's been requesting Peter Pan since he's been sick.) It's almost like he's not a little baby anymore!

3. He quickly got bored with the picture and gave me a hard stare, and colored all over the table. Question: Can/should you get upset at a kid for coloring all over the table like he knows he's not supposed to, when you thought ahead and covered it in butcher paper, but he doesn't realize it?

I need to rename this blog How We Celebrate With Food.
