Nonstop

     This little boy of mine, who I love with all my heart, keeps me on my toes. He never sits still these days! His little imagination is constantly running and thinking of things to do. The messes are endless because he goes from one thing to another. He likes to walk by himself, get dirty,  and play rough like boys do. Well, I have been trying to come up with things for him to do so he doesn't get bored playing with the same stuff everyday and so he can get his energy out. I ordered a few things online and can't wait to get it in the mail.

     Yesterday, Morgan and Levi spent a good half of the day with us. We played with dominoes and the small trains it came with, play-doh, and watercolors for hours. They were all toys that he hasn't played with before or in a while.  Then we went outside while Levi surprised me by mowing our lawn {we have such awesome friends!}. While he mowed it, Connor ran around in the field behind out house with the dogs.

 "Wait for me girls!"

 Then he decided that he wanted to help.

 "This is hard work."

 "I'll stick to raking leaves instead."

    Today we had a busy day. We went to the gym and Connor stayed in the play room with his friend while us moms worked out. He did really well keeping himself entertained and playing with other kids. Afterwards, we went to the playground. The boys had so much fun running around, and Kelsey and I enjoyed catching up. We came home and after nap time, I brought out the watercolors for the second day in a row. I'm slowly getting over my neat freak, OCD tendencies and letting him play like all kids should.

  He started mixing the colors right after this. I'm not going to lie, it made me cringe.

 Connor wanted to finger paint, so out the finger paints came. Then this happened on our wall ....

.... and into the bath it was. Thank God for the magic eraser sponge!

    He wanted to play with his play-doh for the second time today, so I made it a little more interesting. Connor and I stuck uncooked spaghetti in it and then he slid Cheerios down each one.

 It didn't take long before he started eating them :P

Not 15 minutes later and he was telling me to follow him into the garage. He wanted to play baseball, so we did.

 We also played the drums. He made sure I had a turn and then we played together. It was loud fun.

 You can only imagine the noise he is making. {my head hurts!}

I needed to water the grass, so we did it after his concert. He loves to help me and play in the water.

 I want to always remember these little, but special moments with him.

 Having so much fun!

We took a shower as soon as we came in. We were both dirty and needed to get the bug spray off us! I am so glad I had my camera nearby because Connor has started looking at himself {"Nonner"} in the mirror after his shower and the faces he makes are adorable. 

 That's my silly, fun, loving, hyper little boy! I am so happy I can call him mine.

We love you and miss you A!
