Bubbles Bubbles Bubbles

Today I purchased one of those battery operated bubble makers. One of the best purchases I ever made. Entertainment for both Elijah and Charlie.

Finger painting

Yesterday I came across his fingerpaints while I was cleaning

Mud Stomper

While I was watering the grass yesterday, Elijah found the joy of stomping in the mud puddles.

Packing up his bags

Elijah found the suitcase we used over the weekend and pushed it outside as if he packed up his bags and was running away. :-)

Williamsport

We went to Williamsport over the weekend to see family. Elijah had a great time playing with the little fountain outside of grammy and pappy's.

He also had fun playing with his cousins.

Cape May and Ocean City

Today we took advantage of a nice day during Jim's vacation and took a trip to the Cape May County Zoo.

Checking in with his homies. hahaAfter we walked through the zoo Elijah spotted the playground so we had a little picnic lunch and then played for a bit.

Elijah's first time on a big boy swing

After we were all played out we took a drive through Cape May and Wildwood. We then ended up at Ocean City where we walked the boardwalk and beach.

Latest project

Over the weekend we bought 2 pallets of colonial stone to landscape the front yard. This will keep Jim busy for a while.

Today Elijah turned 21 months. Just 3 more months until he's 2! Elijah and I spent the absolutely beautiful day at the zoo to celebrate.
We were able to see the giraffe's being fed.

The look of being up to no good.

Happy Easter!

The Easter bunny came to our house!
After church today Elijah went on a hunt to find the eggs that the Easter bunny left.

Bed testing

Over the weekend we went over to Ikea to look for Elijah's big boy bed. He seemed to enjoy testing out all the beds. We think this one got his approval. It's pretty cool because it starts off low then when he gets older it can convert to a loft type bed.

one of the best inventions ever

The car cart. It made the trip to the grocery store very pleasant tonight. Elijah had a great time steering. Towards the end there must have been a lot of speed bumps because he was bouncing all over in there.

First Easter Egg Hunt

Today the playgroup had an Easter Egg hunt.

Getting Ready to hunt for eggs
Checking out the eggs he found

Our little dirt ball

Elijah was in heaven yesterday with being able to play outside all day long. He was helping daddy with lawn work, which included putting down dirt and grass seed. By the end of the day he looked like pig pen. This picture was after he already had his face wiped 3x that day.

After the rain

After the rain today we went outside for a bit.

Elijah was curious about the ants in the front.

Hard at work. Jim found this little wheelbarrow for Elijah.

Elijah enjoys picking up sticks and mulch and putting it in the wheelbarrow to push around.It's been a while since there was a picture of Charlie.
