Play Day @ Abby's House

Yesterday we had our weekly play day over at Abby's house for a change. Owen had lots of fun in a new environment and with a whole new assortment of toys to play with. O' yea and did I mention Abby has a slide and a sand box? We almost bought Owen a sand box for his 1st Birthday and I am very glad we didn't. Owen spent the whole time shoveling hand full of sand into his mouth. It was so nasty but he apparently loved it because after every hand full he would look at me with a smile and say "Yum, ma-ma". Yuck! Here are a few pics from our day.

Isn't her curly blond hair so adorable? Love you Abby.

Owen thought the top of the sand box was a great seat. Such a silly boy.

Here they go again, fighting over how the lid should go. These two just can't agree! They are going to be "fine" two year olds.

Here is Abby and Owen taking a little break from playing to have a nice drink in her adorable little chairs.

1st Chick-fil-A Balloon...

Yesterday Chick-Fil-A was giving away free Chicken Sandwiches for labor day if you wore any type of sports apparel. That just happens to be our favorite fast food restaurant, so of course the Burgess' family was there all dressed up in our Broncos apparel! GO BRONCOS! Anyway, while we were there the very nice workers gave Owen a pretty blue balloon. Owen was so excited and carried his balloon around everywhere he went yesterday. It was so cute watching how much he loved his new toy.

This is Owen's new favorite thing to do. He will stand there for hours looking out our living room window. And of course, yesterday his balloon joined him.

Crayons & Coloring....

The other day Owen's Grandma brought him over a new toy, toddler crayons. They are round shaped made to fit right into the palm of a toddlers hand for easy grasping. Owen tried them out the other day and made a beautiful scribble picture to take to Daddy at work that afternoon. He had fun coloring/scribbling but we still need to work on keeping the crayons out of his mouth. Wow, what is this?

Do you think Daddy will like the picture I drew him Mommy?His final master piece!

Thanks Auntie Megan & Uncle Dan.....

Thanks Auntie Megan and Uncle Dan! I finally grew into my overalls you got me for my B-Day and I Love Them!!!!!

Chocolate Puddin' Finger Paintin'....

This week at our weekly Play Day, us Mommies decided to be very brave and let the kiddo's Finger Paint with Chocolate pudding in the backyard. It turned out being My Owen, Abby and another Owen, and all three of them are within 6 weeks of each other age wise. So, needless to say, they had a blast today, and wore the heck out of each other! It cracks me up how different they all are. For example; Abby loved the finger painting, while my Owen was much more into eating the pudding and the other Owen was so terrified of getting his hands messy. So funny! So after the finger painting mess we decided to hose them off which turned into another whole fiasco! They had so much fun playing with the hose. Again so much differently; Abby just wanted to fill the bowls and buckets with the water, while my Owen just wanted to splash around in it and drink it, and the other Owen just wanted to be in charge of the hose without getting wet! After that fun, the other Owen had to go home for a much needed nap while Owen and Abby went indoors to finish their day of fun. Abby was very into hugging and wrestling with Owen. It was pretty hilarious. I swear they are such a handful when they get together, but we love it!!!! Please enjoy the slide show of pictures from our fun filled day.

Lending a helping hand....or not

So I know most of you are a little traumatized by my dead fish post, but I promise this is much more mellow.....

Wednesday in the Burgess household is laundry day. Well Owen has just decided that he would like to start lending Mommy a helping hand with the household chores. Okay well at least he thinks he his helping. Anyway I put a basket of clean laundry in the family room and went to the laundry room to switch out the next couple loads and this is what I found when I went to fold my towels....

You seriously got to give him credit for problem solving. "If I can't reach it, I will just climb in after it."

"What Mommy? I was just trying to help!" Ahhhh, that face gets me every time. Do you like the orange star toy he put in the empty laundry basket?
