Time Flies When Having Fun


... and now we have fun almost every day, except when Mark decides to be cranky. Chris goes to work and Mark and I stay home and go about playing with all our old toys and some new ones. The game mostly consists of throwing the toys around. But then there's the crocodile walker - now that's different! Sure it makes noise as you push it, but more importantly, it lets Mark walk on his own (read - Mommy gets to do things around the house). So we absolutely love this toy! Too bad it only occupies Mark for a few minutes at a time. Good thing we also have a cat that can be chased after, pulled by the tail, and scratched behind the ears...
We also go on walks - around the neighborhood, to the little park, to the playground, and to the big lake. The big lake is great because, well, it's big - lots of sand, water, dogs, ducks, babies of all ages...

On the days that we have a car, we go to a library, to a toy store where they let kids play with all the toys, to the ice-cream shop, and to other exciting and novel places...
And on the days when we are stuck indoors because it's raining and we don't have a car, we invite friends over for playdates. Last Friday we invited Louis and Maeli to check out our cool toys. Now we can't wait for the weather to really warm up so we can have pool playdates as well...
