April 27th 2012.  Day #148-  You were a busy 2 year old today!  This morning we went to visit Auntie Angie at the clinic, then got lunch with Grandma and Poppa at La La's (where you wiped all the lotion off your hands, and smeared it all over the glass door to the restaurant) Ugh!  When we got back to Grandma and Poppa's, you were pushing the chair into the kitchen constantly...you were getting the phone off the hook, grabbing whatever you could off the counter, before I would see you, moving the picture magnets around on the fridge, and your favorite getting measuring cups out and filling them up with water from the dispenser on the fridge!  I don't even know how many times you did this...too many times to count!

long weekend

April 26th 2012.  Day #147-  Tonight after work/daycare, packing, supper and baths, we hit the road to Fertile.  We don't often go to grandma and grandpa's on Thursday night but Daddy doesn't need to work tomorrow at Houska, so he is going to do docks tomorrow and Saturday.

memory

April 25th 2012.  Day #146-  Today, Mommy found her favorite game when she was a little girl, MEMORY!  Mommy used to be very good at this game when she was young, and loved playing it with her Grandpa Pete when he would come over after getting the mail in town.  You don't know how to play it yet but you loved looking at all the different pictures and when you found the other set you got VERY excited!  "Mommy, two puppies!", "Mommy, two hotdogs!" and so on...
