springtime shenanigans.

Life with a three year old is anything but predictable. I never thought that I would have to apologize to a Target cashier for my son calling her a "little stinker" (true story), that I would have to explain while eating on the toilet is disgusting, and that I would have an audience in Chipotle after Nate tested out the acoustics in the restroom (screaming "echo, echo, echo" and "my poop is greeeeeeeeeen!". Parenting is eating humble pie.

Because I have a major backlog of photos on my phone, a barrage of pictures of my kid (what a shocker).

First, even superheroes have that awkward moment where the bottom of their cape hangs out the car door...

Another toy project from the Lowe's Build & Grow Clinic complete! Nate made a recycling truck (for free!) and it's now on his prized kid-version DIY shelf.

Our first trip to Nathan's Dairy Bar of the season! Nate loves this cow bench, if you can't tell.

First board game attempted: Operation
Length of game: 3 minutes
Frustration Level for a 3 Year Old: HIGH
Frustration Level for a 34 Year Old: HIGH -- Chris was set on the rules, while Nate opted for the sound effects

This little cutie made me a lovely bouquet of dandelions, the only "flower" that I can't kill, while I mowed the grass the other day.

What dog likes the trampoline? NOT this one! Our beagle went in looking to see if Nate dropped his snack, got closed in, and "enjoyed" a few bounces before I rescued him.

Did you know that dogs can climb ladders? Highly motivated ones in search of kiddie snacks can! Granted, the ladder to this little playhouse is on a slant, but nothing brings delight to my child's heart more than seeing his furry friends up in his "ship".

Just my friendly neighborhood Spider-Nate before preschool...
