We started out this morning with a three mile walk. We had some trouble getting out the door, but we got the whole route done in a few minutes more than an hour. We even got rained on!

The boys did very well, they did not want to stop at all for pictures. They were eager to get out of the stroller when we got home.

We located the garbage truck on the walk so we knew it would be down our street any time. I tell Trevor to listen with his ears.

He has some time to kill, so he decides to sweep

The neighbor put down his winter grass seed so the birds have been really bad. Trevor is curious.

So I took him over there to chase the birds away

Brendan just wants to ring the doorbell

And we draw

Finally!

Brendan is not so sure about the garbage truck

Now he is happy

It doesn’t matter if we just spent hours playing outside, Trevor wants to go OUTSIDE!!!!

Evenings can be pretty crabby times. This play doesn’t last long until the pushing and crying starts. But I am happy for these moments anyway.

The moms group was meeting at a place called “Playtopia” today. It is a huge playground that is completely covered so the kids can be out of the sun. We got there early and it was fun for a little while. Trevor is really still too little for most of it. As it got later, the place got so packed that it was scary. So we had to go home. There were so many little kids and parents there, I never could figure out who was with the moms group. This happens a lot, there isn’t much organization!

I have been meaning to get the boys both some new sunglasses so we stopped today and picked some up.

Brendan had another good OT session again today and did a lot of playing in the sink. He also was happy to get some sunglasses.

He kept looking at his hands like they were somehow different.

Today was even crazier than I expected. The trip for flu shots went smoothly and the boys both handled it so well. They only cried for a couple of minutes and then forgot all about it.
Thanks to the perfect timing of the garbage truck and the oxygen refill, Trevor did not get even a minute of nap. We had to just hang out in my bed and read books so that Brendan could sleep. And we spent a good amount of time outside too.
Brendan did very well for OT today.

Trevor hadn’t even gotten to breakfast before he started with the yelling “OUTSIDE!!!!” He eventually got to go out and play.
He is shopping for rocks.

He loves dirt. If you don’t watch him, he still tries to eat it.

He is an airplane spotter

Someone had to wait for his hour of food to be up before he could come out to play

Trevor found the forward/reverse switch on the jeep

He says it needed gas

Graceful exit

I didn’t have the camera out much for Brendan earlier, so I had to take pictures of his bath. I put Trevor to bed a little early so I skipped doing Brendan’s bath in the big tub. Instead, he got a bath in the kitchen sink after Trevor was asleep. He loved it.

I am hoping for a much much more slow paced day tomorrow!
