Fun around the house.

The month of March hasn't been terribly eventful, but we have had some fun around the house. Claire absolutely loves swings, so we got her a little toddler swing for the back yard. Even though we have a number of trees, none are particularly good for attaching a swing to. Andy first tried to rig up the swing with this crazy ladder/metal bed frame contraption, but that didn't seem to work too well. Finally we attached the swing to a tree with some bungee cords, which works much better.

Claire also loves her new Mrs. Potato Head. She spends a lot of time putting it together and taking it apart. She certainly does find some creative ways to use each of the parts.... including the glasses!

We've also had a lot of fun at Carney Park and now that the weather is getting nicer, it's even nicer to go there. Recently, they had a family sports and activities day, where we hiked up to the rim of the park. Claire had a lot of fun riding in the backpack on Daddy's back and the views from the top were great. We definitely plan on going on a longer hike perhaps when I'm not pregnant...

After the hike Claire had fun checking out the booths and she even got some balloon animals from the clowns. As always, she and her friend Sadie, had a great time playing together!



Claire also loved helping Daddy put together a new bookshelf from Ikea. I bet she'll have a lot of fun helping to put together her big girl bed when we get her one in April.
