Blake was feeling under the weather for the past few days. We had to be creative and think of things to keep him occupied. You can only watch Elmo's World so many times. Blake loved this corral I found on Amazon.
He had this great idea to use his snack from his cup and put it into his pots and pans. He kept saying "feed horse". 
So much for pretend play. We are still stepping on Cheerios.
After the park and the museum, there was a serious dance party.
Blake always likes guests in his tub.
Miraculously all three kids went to bed (two in the same room!) without a peep. Julie insisted we eat our take out by candle light... as if we were dining out. Cheers. 
Both Will and Blake needed haircuts. Blake wasn't as into it as usual, so he snacked on his first lollipop. He actually had several "pop pops" because they kept getting covered with hair. 
Will getting ready in his fire truck.
Toss it girl.
Sauce it up 
Now the cheese.
The boys enjoyed making the pizza much more than I had expected.
The boys enjoyed the toppings even after the pizzas were long gone cooking in the oven.
We are happy to have friends Will and Loreta as guests for a few days. Jumping on a pull out couch is always a good way to wind down before bed.
After music class today we headed over to the playground with some friends. It was pretty chilly, but Blake didn't care at all.
He loved climbing all over the mats.
Monkey B.
His favorite by far was the trampoline.
Overlooking the park from the Belvedere Castle.
Blake insisted on walking the entire time. We found lots of leaves, sticks, and squirrels. All very exciting. 
Happy boy
Creating a play doh masterpiece with Papa.
Looking suspicious.
I guess I should have let everyone swallow their food before I took the photo.
What is it with boys and trains?
Afterwards we had a Mexican lunch right in the station. Caleb James got a bit messy when he tried to drink the sour cream!
Rebecca Ann was born 01/10/10 and weighed 8 lbs 5 oz. Rebecca is the first sibling born in our play group. I stopped by the hospital this afternoon to take a quick peek. She looks just like her big brother Daniel!
Yesterday Blake and John rooted for their favorite team, the Green Bay Packers. Unfortunately they lost, but Blake did have fun watching television in bed with his daddy.
He hasn't done it since, but I put this comforter in front of his crib in case he gets any ideas.
Blake's favorite things were the fish and sharks. 
He wasn't crazy about the walruses. They were huge!
We stayed in the exhibit for at least 40 minutes. He kept putting his arm out so the butterflies would land on him (he saw other kids doing it).
Unfortunately no butterfly ever landed on him, but one did land on my shoe and leg. Blake is still talking about it. "Museum... fly.... Mama yeg... Mama shoe" 
Rub a dub dub.. three boys in a tub....
Blake couldn't resist touching the horse. 
It was a few days after Christmas so the big guy was already back at the North Pole. I think Blake was psyched about that and enjoyed sitting in his empty chair. 
Mimi's friend was nice enough to let us borrow her rocking horse. Blake loves it. Every time we talk about Mimi and Papa's house he says "horsey?" Thank you Eileen!
We checked out the Philadelphia Mummers parade nearby. Thanks for having us Julie, Derek, and Brooke. Hope to see you again soon!
We traveled to Philadelphia to celebrate the New Year with Brooke, Julie and Derek. 
Getting clean before bed.
We put the kids to bed and had a sitter come over so we could have a wild night in Philly. We went to a delicious Cuban restaurant that turned into a club around midnight. Do we look like we get out much?
