The Sculpture Garden

Whats more fun than being 2 and finding a stick?
Zeke chasing and treeing squirrels.
A little out of order here but this is Zeke on the way there. Barnabas was wearing a hat and Zeke started screaming "Hat!!!! Hat! Haaaaat!" So he took it off and gave it to him. Zeke put it on himself then started to fall asleep.

Not sure whats up with the arms in the air but it works.

We had a "family day" on Saturday. We went to the sculpture garden in Minneapolis and had a picnic and enjoyed all the great interactive art. Here are a couple photos from our adventure!

Happy 5th Birthday Asa!

Ahh, the cake. I made an eggless cake the night before, it was a total flop! So this cake is actually Rice Krispy Bars that I put into a spring form pan and frosted. Can you say sugar bomb?!

Under the sea decorations.

Our house mates made this cape for Asa. On the back is a big red "A". He hasn't taken it off yet and actually slept with it last night. He also got some sun glasses, gloves, cleats and a headband to complete the look.
His Rescue Hero stash. We got a huge lot of Rescue Heroes off of Craigs List for his birthday. We gave him part and are keeping the rest for Christmas. He came across the bag this morning and asked who they were for. I told my first "Parent Lie". "Ummmmm, well there is a little boy who is going to get them for his birthday and his parents wanted to hide them here so he didn't see them." Does make me a bad Mom?

Asa is going to be a fire fighter for Halloween. I was pulled away mid-dressing for Zeke (I think there was some breakfast crisis of some sort) and when I came back Zeke decided it was time to put out a fire. I couldn't help but think of the NYFD fund raising calendar that gets put out every year!
