Playplace, Bathtime, and Carrots

Not too much going on besides Brenda getting bigger.  James is still up to no good, but most of that is my fault. 

He likes Playdough

And  messing around on the ground.

I decided the other day that both of us could use a bath.  I had not bathed in quite some time so I figured it was about time.  Backfired on me though when I caught James peeing in the water, that kid needs to learn that you can only do that in the shower.

He now likes standing on the train and we remind him that he is going to get hurt, but am resigned to the fact that he will have to learn many things the hard way.

Anytime there are tools close by, he feels the need to fix anything.  I only have to show him once and we is right on it.

Notice the giant drool stain.  He has a couple molars coming in, and man it is impossible to keep any shirts dry.

Last week we had some friend moving out of their house and going to Denver.  They had this play structure out in the back and gave it to us.  I had to dismantle it and get it off site, but it actually took a lot less time than I thought.  Now I just have to find a place in our backyard to put it.  We have plenty of space for it, but I don't want to have to mow around this behemoth.

Seriously a very nice and expensive play structure, and for free....We have great friends.

Lastly, we have the garden.  Check out this carrot that the wife pulled out of the ground today.  I have never seen a carrot so wide, but we have so many more where this came from we will not be starving anytime soon.  I did not include a picture of the big potatoes I dug up on Saturday, but they are huge.  We got some seed potatoes from my parents, and I think one of those buggers could feed a family of four.
