TerraDactyl's First Easter!

Everybody Smile!

We did our best to get a family photo on Easter.  It's not easy with so many squirming bodies though...

I'm pretty sure TerraDactyl is mid tongue click here

Even without Riley in the mix, we really struggled to get a good picture.

This might be my favorite...

More weird tongue action on TerraDactyl's part

So stinking cute!

TerraDactyl helped me weed the garden some more.  I got a couple good hours of work in.  The garden beds all look pretty good now.  But the walkways still need a lot of work.  TerraDactyl had fun crawling around and playing with the weeds, pine cones, gloves, dirt, bark chips...  pretty much everything she could get her hands on.  She even crawled into three of the four garden beds.

Now how do I get back down??

While I gardened, DH worked on the creek.  There's a few dead trees in the creek which have made some standing water.  It looks like good mosquito breeding grounds, so DH wanted to clear them out.  He got to use his awesome waders (brand new, purchased from Goodwill).  He didn't quite finish, but he'll need to bring the chainsaw down to finish up with the blockage.

This looks a bit higher than I thought it was...

TerraDactyl playing around with the computer after our family Zoom meeting.  She absolutely loves technology.  Phones, computers, remotes...  She loves her electronics.

It's a little high to be ergonomic...

Here's a video of TerraDactyl demonstrating how to get the most health benefits out of a standing desk:


By the end of the day, TerraDactyl was wiped out.  Poor kiddo could hardly eat her dinner:

A Parade!

Image
Check out all the candy TerraDactyl collected from the 4th of July Parade!  DH said she had a blast running out and picking up the candy.  For most of the parade they were spaced pretty far away from other kids so she actually had a chance to get the candy.  After a while though, another family with older kids camped out on their other side and they pretty much cleaned up the street before TerraDactyl could get to it.  She's not super aggressive with these things (yet - I'm sure she'll inherit a decent dose of competitiveness).  Also, check out her awesome snow boots that she insisted on wearing.  She's such a nut. Parade snacks!  DH and I weren't sure what kind of parking there would be, so they drove to a train stop and rode the train downtown.  TerraDactyl was super excited about the train ride.  DH wanted to walk back to the car after the parade, but TerraDactyl insisted on riding the train back.   A bit surprisingly, TerraDacty...

My Name is Still Mom

TerraDactyl had her first day of school.  It went super smoothly.  She had zero problems with us dropping her off with a bunch of strangers.  Once the teacher said she could play with the toys in the room, she had no more interest in her parents.  And DH and I suddenly had 3 child-free hours!   Here's one of the last photos of me pregnant.  Do you think these vertical lines are slimming?  I know I look huge.  There's a good reason for that... This little grumpy troll (aka SaraTops) was born on July 14 at 2:42pm, weighing 9 lbs, 10 oz!  She was a big one!  More than a pound heavier than TerraDactyl was, but an inch shorter (20.5" vs 21.5")!   SaraTops is actually much more attractive than that last picture indicates.  We refered to her as Norm throughout the pregnancy because Norm MacDonald is DH's favorite comedian and DH suggested we name her after him.  I did not agree to that plan, but I did allow Norm as a ni...

Summer Camp

Image
  Tomorrow TerraDactyl will be starting her first day of summer camp.  It's twice a week for 3 hours each day.  The class is super small (5 kids) and they're all 3 or 4 years old.  It's only for the month of July.  Hopefully, she'll like it.  It's a nut-free building, so I was struggling to find filling snacks for TerraDactyl to bring with her.  I ended up finding these snack cups of olives and pouches of pickles.  I was so excited about my find.  And you know what DH had to say?  "Olives and pickles for snacks?  What are you trying to get TerraDactyl bullied?"  :P  (I'm still packing the olives for her). TerraDactyl really does like olives though.  She seems to kind of like the pickles, but the olives pretty much always get cleaned off her plate.  I'd also like to point out that neither DH nor I taught her to shove the olives onto her fingers.  She just started doing that one day.  Maybe it's innate.....
