omg the math! -- and weekend stuff!

this is so silly...i am using a calculator to make sure the baby countdown day thing on this blog is accurate... i was just looking on here thinking "oh i haven't posted in a while, what's been going on that is interesting.." and i see 78 days! um hellooooo... 30 days = 1month, 60 days = 2months so i officially have 2months and 18 days...where the heck did the time go??? it's almost the very end of April already! only May and June and baby Wilson #2 comes out...and yes we've already scheduled his birth...which is weird in and of itself...oh well...

on to more fun stuff?? First we went to a truck show at Theater in the Park (Via Shawnee Mission Park) where they had all, but not limited to: fire truck, police car, tow truck, cement truck, tractor, bobcat, school bus, dump truck, etc. It was a blast - basically a Christmas for boys (although there were some girls there too)!




And then we seem to spend our weekends at either one of the grandparents houses... this past one we spent at both sides...but basically did the same activity - how i love spring! saturday my parents were getting their garden ready...my dad was flipping out because he was over a month late getting this "cool" stuff in (potatoes, broccoli, onions, carrots)...i guess i remember him doing these back around St. Patrick's day...i usually remember him trying to finagle around the rain (of which we haven't had too much this spring??)... anyway - Noah had a B-L-A-S-T with this... for a 2 year old to focus and do tedious work as placing an onion bulb with the tip up in the tiny hole...but doggone it he did it and did the entire bag! then we did potatoes with grandma helping...then broccoli and we loved putting the fence around each plant...

sunday we went to the in-laws to have a birthday lunch for my father-in-law...and all Noah wanted to do was ride the John Deere riding lawn mower (or tractor!)... the minute we walked in he went right up and asked..."pretty please papa, ride the tractor..." picture a kid tilting his head, holding his hands together in a begging motion...freakin' hilarious! they went out and tooled around the yard...came in to have lunch... went back out for another ride... then we planted flowers...and watered...best part of the whole process for him...then wanted to do it again (ride the tractor)... i had to negotiate and tell him that the tractor was sleeping and he needed to take a nap too... it turned into a "if you don't go in and lay down for a while then we're not riding anymore..." discussion, but he did and slept 2 hours and not before we left we went around the yard again! planting and riding a tractor - what could be better!
