A Mellow Brick Road...: A Day of Fun and Relaxation

We had yet another excellent day and another perfect evening with surprise visitors throughout. Jude, you started your morning at 6:30 a.m. watching the morning news with Daddy so that Mommy could sleep a half hour longer :) Afterwards, you bounced while Mommy Zumba'd. Bodhi you were perfectly content watching cartoons and drinking your juice in your crib while Mommy exercised. Usually, Mommy has to try to fit exercising in while you both are napping or during what is supposed to be "nap time." Instead of playing in your room this morning, Mommy decided to mix it up and have morning play time downstairs. Bodhi, Mommy sat Jude on the couch with pillows surrounding him so that I could run upstairs and get him a new outfit... he pooped up his back yet again. Mommy told you Bodhi "don't let Bubs roll off the couch," not really expecting you to watch him. When Mommy came back downstairs, in a dead run, I found you standing in front of Jude with your hand on his leg. Mommy was highly impressed :) You are such a good big sister. Jude, you pooped in the sink today during your morning bath, and that's after pooping up your back. Mommy thought you were done, so it's really my fault, but it's a first. Bodhi has never pooped in tub hee/hee Playing downstairs actually went very well this morning. Jude Mommy kept you awake and alert until 12:30 p.m. You and Bodhi both took a nice long nap at the SAME time today, YAY!

This afternoon, Mommy bundled you both up and took you for a walk and to play at the park. Mommy took you both to Foster park, which was quite flooded. Mommy wasn't going to stop and let you guys play, but when I got you out of the stroller to walk for a while, Bodhi, you ran like heck toward the children's play area. So, Mommy decided to let you play :) You went on the play equipment today Bodhi. Mommy had to chase after you, because Mommy wasn't expecting you to actually walk on the equipment. You usually walk around it and put rocks on the slide and then wipe them off. Mommy got to you just in the knick of time... you decided to go down the slide without your Mommy and luckily I was able to grab hold of your arm before you flipped head first down the slide. Accident adverted! Jude, you cried the last half of the way home, you were hungry. You eventually fell asleep, so when we arrived home, Mommy was able to get Mr. Murff and Mr. Arlo out to take them on a slow and short stroll. We have to take it easy on them because they both are out of shape and have horrible hip problems. Mr. Murff was not too happy when we left him behind for our long walk.

Jude, you finally got to taste your first stage one fruit... apples :) Your brother, Sean Franky, fed you your first bites. You loved it! You looked so disappointed when you finished the jar, you would have ate another jar, I'm sure. Bodhi, you love when Sean Franky comes to visit, you particularly like when he chases you and throws you in the air :) You also sat with Grandmoo watching cartoons while Mommy nursed Jude to sleep. Today, was such a good day and no spooky incidents to report :)

Bodhi just got busted... trying to climb the stairs to get to her Daddy who was eating a pickle

Daddy heard all the commotion and came and gave you a bite of his pickle... you are such a sucker Bodhi!

Bodhi and Jude in front of the Army tank at Foster Park... Mommy thought we better get a picture before someone decides to get rid of it too! Not that I really understand why we have it at the park anyway ;)

"Really Momma?" "Can we go play now?"

"Adventuresome Buddha" ;)

Mommy use to watch Grandpa Kurt play softball from the top of this slide. Mommy also use to do flips off the bar... don't get any ideas Bodhi, you will NEVER!
