Crime Scene
Artwork
Benjamin and I have been working on learning how to color (I have realized that this is a learned skill and not something that just comes to you) and learning colors.

We are hit or miss with identifying colors accurately, but he LOVES saying "poopull".
We have toddler crayons and toddler markers.....he has been far more successful with the markers...

We Had Kittens!
A few weeks ago our neighbor stopped over to let us know that there was a momma kitty who moved her four kittens under our shed. Animal Control was able to catch the momma, but would be back to try and get the kittens.
For days and days we would spot the kittens playing around our shed, but when anyone walked over they would hide under the shed.
The Animal Control guy seemed unable to catch them. So we took matters into our own hands.

Just a Day at the Beach
A few weeks ago we met some of the family at Ocean City. It was a beautiful, perfect day and Benjamin's first trip to see the ocean. He was very scared at first, but after some playing around he was fearless....walking into the water with abandon.

Ocean City has a great boardwalk includingan amusement park. Ben took his first ride on a merrygoround, but he was too afraid to sit on a horse...so we had to sit in a bench. He was so tired by this time that I am not sure he had any idea what was going on LOL.
Proto-type
Those who knew me as a little girl know that my Cabbage Patch Kid was my very most prized possesion. She was so loved by me that she had two belly button reconstructions, several toe-ectomies, and a permanent scar on her cheek from when she fell off Melissa Maurer's big wheels.
So when my mom brought Anna these adorable floral corduroy overalls they imediately made me think of my doll.
It wasn't until I was reviewing the pictures days later that I noticed Benjamn's fireman finger puppet lined up there trying to get in the action.

Labor Day Weekend in Virginia
Over the Labor Day weekend we took a trip to VA to visit my dad and stepmom. They live on Lake Anna and we love to go down and swim in the lake.
THis little doll chair is perfect size for Benjamin and he takes it over as if it is his throne.
We went for walks down to the community beach/dock where there is a sandbox and a boat launch, which when not in use is a perfect little spot for a toddler to try out the water.

Here is Ben at the boat launch. He was remarkably fearless in the lake...wanting to just walk off into the water with no regard for depth.
Everyone had advice....*sigh*
Anna's first trip to my dad's dock/boathouse

Ben had a blast in the lake and just playing on the dock!
There is my dad making salad for dinner. Claudio thinks they make the best salads....other than the lake they are a major highlight of our trip ;)
