Picnic at the Playground

Late morning I took the boys to the school playground. Noah gave me a hard time leaving the house. He didn't want to leave, but I said, "Too bad. We're going." He made it extremely difficult to get him dressed. I threatened to throw him naked into the stroller. He eventually let me put on his clothes (except his shoes). At one point he threw his sweatshirt out of the stroller and wheel ran over it. He finally calmed down as we got closer to the school.

At the school the boys played on the playground and then we played baseball. I pitched to Evan and then Noah decided he wanted a turn. He actually hit quite a few balls that I pitched to him.

I packed a picnic lunch for the boys and we ate at a table there.

We played a little more after lunch and then walked home. Noah walked the whole way home.

At 4pm a handy man came over to give us some ideas for putting up a door in the upstairs office/nook.

While he was here the doorbell rang. Evan's friend Jack was riding his bike near our house and wanted to see if Evan wanted to come play in the cul-de-sac. Jack was with his mom and sister so Evan, Noah, and I joined them down the street. Evan rode his bike just a little bit, but spent most of the time on his scooter. Noah had fun on his tricycle.

Tonight, we went to Petco, Toys R Us (to use some gift cards), and Blue Bamboo to take home food.

We just finished eating dinner at home and now we'll get the boys ready for bed.
