Playground

Gonna get him started young

Look how tall I am!

We explored the playground by the library.  Super cushiony ground, kinda weird

Fearless little dude

Other half of the playground

Swing?

Once he discovered this tunnel thingy he didn't want to play anywhere else!

Top of the slide at the end of the tunnel

This thing was full of little bb's and made a ton of noise

Trying out the water fountain

He just looks so happy here!

He had so much fun here.  I need to take Jordan into work the next nice day so we can visit again.  I have never seen such a diverse crowd of people as at that playground, I thought it was great!  I was surprised by how many dads were there alone with their kids too.  Jack flirted with the moms (hopefully that changes in the next few years) and made friends with lots of little boys and girls.  He's such a social butterfly!

Growing An Octopus

To grow an octopus, you first start with a big tub, clear is best for optimal viewing pleasure

Secondly, you need water, cause it's an octopus

Thirdly, you need an inquisitive child to test the water

and to supervise

You need the creature of choice of course

Which do you want to grow Jack?

You need to open the packaging.  How do they breathe in there???

Put your creature in the perfectly prepared water oh so gently

First measurement, very exact, I know

Day two

I love wearing mommy & dada's shoes!

Day three

Hang out and wait...

Day four, I messed up and measured the wrong way so it's not as easy to see the growth, sorry guys.

Day five

Day six, slowing in growth

Day seven.  The octopus was measured each day between 2:30-3pm

Time to release the beast!!!  Sorry for the blurry picture, his expression of glee was just too much not to share.

Ooooh, my own octopus!

Lookit!

His new home when not being carted around the house

 

Another use for your awesome octopus habitat

And that is how you grow an octopus.

Colville Car Time

Working on the car of his coworkers daughter.  He's getting quite the rep!

Dada's little helper

You got the wrong end there bud

Will it help if I bang it?

Tightening the bolts

Dirt shows hard work

Hey Jack, let down the jack

I want to help!

Sooo hot and tired

BUBBLES!!!

   This was last weekend, I'm quite behind on my picture posts.  I'll work on getting them up this weekend.  Jack has discovered Popeye and is quite the fan.  This has brought a question to my mind that won't be settled.  Why in the world would Bluto & Popeye want Olive Oyl?  She is such a flake!  Why would Olive Oyl want Bluto or Popeye?  They're such immature weenies!  Geeze.  This question made me think about Archie.  Why do Veronica & Betty fight over an arrogant, selfish & downright dorky guy like Archie?  He's a flake too, in fact he's Olive Oyl in male form!  All it takes is Josie or Cheryl to come along and bat her eyes and he drops both of them, just what kind of message does that send?  While I'm on this burning questions rant, why do the Federation uniforms for the women barely cover their butt?  Why are there only 2 women with any continuity on the original Star Trek?  AND why does something bad always happen when Uhura sings?  Can you tell we've been watching a lot of Star Trek?  I'm hooked.  I accept my nerdiness.  Anywho, sorry bout that rant, I've just been wondering.  Hope you all have a lovely weekend.  I'm going to post pictures from our experiment from last week and all the cooking/baking we did today.  Picturespicturespictures!
