So, Little and I had our standard pancake breakfast this morning. And as we have done for the last few weeks we went looking for tadpoles afterwards. With the same results as the last few times - we didn’t find any. I don’t know if it’s still too cold here, or if we just don’t know where to look. But we’re going to find some! And oh yeah, today was the first time Little Matt fell into the mud. It was quite a sight. I was dipping the net into the muck along the bank (scooping up water bugs and crawdads, just no tadpoles). Little was being his active self along the slippery bank when he slipped and fell backwards. I’m sure it didn’t hurt as the four inches of water and soft mud he landed in must have cushioned the fall. But he cried nonetheless. Of course, I told him to quit crying and that he wasn’t hurt. He told me chocolate milk and a Kit-Kat would make him feel better. And I guess it did. It made him forgot all about being cold and riding home in his underwear.
After lunch we drove out to Buckroe Beach for a bit of kite flying. It was a little cold for the baby so she decided to just stay in the stroller with her blanket while Little Matt and I got our shark and Batman kites aloft. It was very windy so it wasn’t much of a challenge getting them up. But it was still fun. Maybe next time we can make our own kites like the kids from the Little House on the Prairie. I think that should be kind of fun. We can start studying some of the principles of physics and see how we can put them to use.
Okay, wrapping up now. Pictures of todays events are here. And since last week I added one of Maggie Belle with food all over her, the next picture that every baby needs is one where they’re sitting in a clothes hamper. So there you go. Maggie Belle sitting in a hamper. How cute.
