Look What I Made!

Alright, Kelly and my dad helped but I'm taking most of the credit. We got a 5 foot piece of pine and cut it in half. Then Kelly sanded it and they put hinges on it. The hinges are just so that we can fold it up and store it easier in the future. Then I got to work decorating it. Can you tell what it is?



Here is a closer look:





It's a growth chart! I was inspired by some I saw on ebay that were selling for $55 plus shipping. I think we made this for around $20. I'm really proud of it.

As I said before, my dad was in town last weekend. We put him to work helping us with a few little projects. We also went to Cabelas (I claim that it's so Cason can look at the fish and all the animals but it's really just so I can get some fudge!) and to the park.

I can go down the tunnel slide all by myself!



That's not how you're supposed to swing, who taught you that?



This is like the balance beam at gymnastics. Did I tell you he has been going to gymnastics?



This cracks me up. This is one of those bridges made out of rubber that kids are supposed to bounce on. Cason thought it was great fun to sit on it while Kelly or I bounced him. It was so funny to watch. You should go grab a 1 year old and head to your nearest park to try it out yourselves!



Up close: whoa Mom!



And this morning I learned what it would be like to wrestle an octopus as I tried to put Cason in his car seat. Let's just say he is a spirited child and has been showing me his strong will this week!

That is all for now. Did you know that there is a new flavor of Wheat Thins out? Cream Cheese and Chives, they are very good. Must. Stop. Eating.
