Hideout

Josh has turned the little storage space under the stairs in the guys' hideout. He put an old piece of carpet in there and screwed handles to the inside of the door so he and Dean can go in, shut the door, and play. Lately they've been building really tall towers using all of Dean's blocks. Josh has had to pull out our safe for Dean to stand on just so he can reach the top.

Strawberry Picking

Dean and I went to a nearby farm and picked strawberries this morning. They are so big and ripe! I had a hard time stopping at 3 pounds. I'm sure I'll be back for more next week. Dean was unsure of what we were doing out there in the hot sun at first, but once he saw me pick a big ripe strawberry from the plant he caught right on. Within 5 minutes he was coated in red goo and smiling so big. I need to remember to take his shirt off before we go next time :)

Hard at Work

It's a hard life being 18 months old. The adults just fill your day with tasks! You have to...

Pick every spec of dirt out of the pool each day.

Sweep the floor.


Ward off telemarketers.


Fix the motorcycle.


Push your aunt around.


Its rough, I tell you. Rough.
