Water Park, Swing, and Family Fun

Linden Falling asleep tonight!

My super cute Nephew! He's a crawler and climber now!!! :) So fun!!!

So this afternoon after Linden's nap I was trying to think of something fun to do...go to the beach? nah too far...shopping?? who has the energy....hmmm water park? We haven't tried that yet..so off we went! Linden was wearing his long sleeve swim shirt and new swim shorts with water shoes. He was a little tentative because there were a lot of children there. He's never quite comfortable with a big crowd. Probably because he is so small. Once he got a little more comfortable he had a blast! The water sprayed him right in the face and he looked up at me with the biggest smile! haha Then we went to the park beside it for a bit and he went on the swing for like 15mins straight!!! I couldn't believe it!!!! I kept asking him if he was done and he just kept saying "more"...hey I shouldn't complain though, it was easy entertainment and relaxing! I think he was almost asleep when we left!!! He probably would have swung his way to sleep if I let him...which reminded me of the old days of the baby swing last summer!!!! He was sad to get out of the swing (which I eventually made him do). He laid his head on my shoulder, gave a little whine, then waved his Linden Fond Farewell with kisses and all! I just find that so cute and funny when he does it! He's so serious too...waving goodbye and thanking the park for such a great play time! haha...it was a good hour plus...then we were off to our Thursday dinner at Mom and Dad's. Poor Nana had Linden clinging to her the whole time. I know it isn't easy to prepare dinner with a toddler screaming at you and clinging to your leg begging you to play!!! I tried to occupy him, but he knew what he wanted. Nana is so good with him. She took him so I could eat! Then I tried to return the favour.
Then it was off home to bed! James came home for a little goodnight story then he was back to work. While Linden was falling asleep I could see him in the monitor reading books...so cute! It was a good day! Now just waiting for James' laundry then I'm off to bed too!

Kitchen and White Rock Fun in the Sun

Watering Gramp's Flowers (not really though dad...don't worry!)

Thanks Oma for the ab fab shoes!!!! They were awesome!!!!




So today I got Linden a play kitchen and dishes/food from the swap and he LOVES it!!! I can see hours of fun being had with this toy! :) I think it was a good deal too! I think that imaginative toys are so much better and more interesting than push a button ones (although they can be fun too).

This afternoon Linden slept for 2.5hours. I almost think it was too much sleep because he woke up really cranky!! He REALLY wanted to go see James at the farm and play in his water table so I decided to do that. Just before we were off to the beach Marian gave us some water shoes!!!! PERFECT!!!! I had been looking for water shoes for Linden and they were AMAZING at the beach!

If you know me, you know how big a deal it was for me to go to white rock just the two of us!!! We said a prayer in the car and were on our way. It was a pleasant ride in, with only a little traffic. We parked in the big open gravel lot because I thought maybe we could play at the park...it was a little too old for Linden so we moved on our way. We walked through some sketchy parts, but soon hit the beach...Linden LOVED it!!! The tide was already on its way in because it was 4:30 when we got there. I couldn't believe how WARM the water was!!!! I'd say as warm as a pool for sure! And the little tide pools were like hot springs! Linden just kept running in and out of the water...laughing with no fear. He plopped down on his hands and knees a few times, dispite me being right beside him and holding his hands...His tentative side came out when a few kids joined us, but he had fun still! Once the tide was almost in we packed up and I changed him on the grass area...which he did not like at all! He waved goodbye to the ocean and blew it kisses! We headed off in search of gelato, which he didn't particularly like...had a bit to eat (snacks we brought) then headed on our way. I was tempted to do the fish and chips dinner, but figured I'd save that for when I have someone else with me. 2 hours was a perfect length of time for us but we could have spent longer walking down the strip :) I love white rock. I'm glad that he enjoyed it this time. . What a difference from a few months ago when we went with James...he didn't like the water at all then and just cried when he got sandy! (see video)... Oh my boy is changing and growing so much. He even had 'messy hair' after his nap today. haha it's a tad bit longer....if you look closely.

So, even though I thought to myself "What the heck are you doing Amy?!?! Going all the way to white rock on your own?!!?" It all worked out wonderfully!!!! We had a blast and will have to go again this summer.

Oh and it was funny because I was pretty sure that Linden expected to see Nana pop up somewhere haha :) That would have been nice...next time maybe!

The Perks...

So these are some of the perks of being a berry farmers' wife :) Yummy! The island berries are looking good! Glad to see the black bear family hasn't eaten them all!

On the Go...

These days feel so long and full! When I try to remember back to how the day began it feels like ages ago!!! Linden slept from 7:15 last night till 6:45 this morning! It was amazing! Hudson and Lyra came over for a visit last night which was nice. We had a great visit! :) Hudson is SO cute! and SOOOOO strong! He's just so fun to be around...growing so fast...I can't believe he is almost a year already.

This morning we hung out with Nana again (I'm SURE she must be getting sick of us...) Then Linden went down for an early nap so that we would be in fine form for Bennett (and Courtney's) baby shower! He woke up an hour and a half before we had to leave and was in a great mood. We headed off to the shower to socialize with the other toddlers and moms...but to my surprise Linden was the only toddler there!!! Their house was BEAUTIFUL (Dale and Jody) and they have 3 kids of their own with a great playground. Unfortunately Linden wanted to touch everything her shouldn't (it was like being in a magazine!!!) I really just ended up following after him and watching him the whole time. For a while he sat on my knee and ate snacks...that was all he gave me! I was happy that I got to see Bennett though! He is SO CUTE. He looks like a boy already, not just a newborn...I think he'll be a heart breaker for sure!!!!

My house has seemed to exploded again and I spent a good chunk of time cleaning up toys and food! Dinner was kind of a disaster...which put me in a bad mood. At least my cracked rib seems to be a little better tonight. It doesn't send shooting pains when I breath anymore! BUT I hit my head so hard on the cabinet door tonight..ouch! Now my neck hurts...just can't win!

PLUS I'm pretty sure James hasn't stopped once today...I worry for his health! YOU NEED TO STOP WORKING STRAIGHT THROUGH THE DAY AND TAKE 5 MINS TO EAT SOMETHING MAN! :) Listen to my wise words! I know it is hard to do though...especially since he is the go to guy for everything! He's doing such an amazing job there. They are certainly lucky to have him! I'm so proud of him, and all he accomplishes....he is the hardest worker I know!!

Mouse Drama

Well as you know I have a mouse in the house...well actually I haven't had a sighting of it ever since James locked it in the wall...I am ridiculously afraid of mice...I now see every shadow and think it's a mouse....or every fly landing on me I freak! Even Linden's light touch can be mistaken for a mouse....I am hoping that I won't see it again and that it will be gone for good! I just can't relax completely in my own house...

I was lucky enough to have my husband home this evening! I'm glad that he is sleeping early tonight...boy does that guy need it!!!! Poor guy. We did a family picture of the family involved in the berry farm. That was fun...the format was too big for the blog at this moment so you'll have to check out facebook! :)


Oh, and I let Linden have some slurpie today...well that was a mistake...he was running in circles (literally) jacked up on sugar!!! Oh man! haha At least Daddy and Nana were there to entertain.

Also, I'm happy to say that I have a few pea pods on my plant!! YAY!!! Something is producing already!!! So fun to watch it grow...I hope it tastes good too!!!!

Baking and Gardening...

SO last night I was up late with Sarah baking DELICIOUS raspberry pies....mmmm...so I didn't blog about it then, but I will now! When Linden went to sleep last night Sarah came over and we proceeded to make her mom's amazing raspberry pies! Unfortunately they don't keep for too long...so I've been eating a lot of pie! Maybe someone would like to help me??? I had a lot of fun! It was so therapeutic, a great chat and some amazing pies :)

Earlier in the day I had decided to make Rollkuchen. I didn't have enough eggs, but tried anyways....they were no good...what a flop! BUT to my surprise Oma Bergen (Gross Oma) called and invited me over for Rollkuchen and watermelon!!! Mmmm her's did NOT flop and I enjoyed them! Linden LOVED them too! His new favourite thing is eating watermelon. It drips all over his clothes and mouth but he loves it!






Today I planted my pumpkins FINALLY! I really hope that I have some vegetables! So far things are looking good! I'm excited about that! I just want something to grow! haha

This afternoon I had to run to safeway for a few things and boy was that crazy. Linden is getting tougher to take out places. He wants to walk, but also wants to pull everything off the shelf or go everywhere he isn't supposed to! He has temper tantrums frequently and squeals! They are never too long or dramatic...I'm usually able to nip it in the bud pretty quickly. Ah well, I'm pretty lucky if that's all I have to complain about!

OH MY WORD....As I am writing this blog I see a mouse in my house!!! Out of the corner of my eye I see a black flash...now I have a HUGE fear of mice...I called James and he came running to my rescue....we weren't able to catch it but there is a trap set...I am praying that in the morning JAMES will find it and dispose of it before I can see it...sigh...I always feel like it will crawl on me as I sleep...oh man...yuck

You Can't Trust This Brain!!!!

Linden with his Daddy


Linden was so proud of the Bergen raspberries!


Seriously, I have the worlds WORST memory...ugh...maybe I need to be taking more omegas or something!! I feel terrible but I forgot a dose of Linden's antibiotics yesterday and today I was late in giving them...I feel like such a terrible mother! I guess it is because he is acting fine now and I get so busy it is easy to forget. I also need to be taking my calcium supplements but I can never seem to remember if I have taken them or to take them! I need a pill container maybe! Like an old person! I tried to keep track on a calendar on our fridge but I forget to write it down...jeepers....

This morning we went to Nana's and to the park by her house, which was great! Linden played with his Cookie Monster toy that he had be so fearful of a while ago! :) He is just growing and changing so much! It is so amazing to watch!!!

I had a wonderful surprise today...James came home for a few hours during the day!!!!!!! HURRAY!!!!! We had a gathering with our caregroup and Linden played with his Daddy at the park! I know he loved it! It just gave us a taste of how wonderful he is :) Also shows us what we are missing!

Missing My Nana

You know, every now and then I get really sad that I can't see my Nana. She was such an amazingly wonderful woman!! I would have loved for her to have met Linden...I know she would have loved him and he would have loved her too! Of course it would have also been great for her to have met Hudson too. I know that she would have been a SUPER Nana to them too! Love you Nana :)

Co op, Fish Trap, BBQ fun!

I am so excited to have a new shipment of yummy food from the coop from Lyra and Jim (and Hudson)!!!! It is AMAZING stuff...why can't Canada offer us the same things? At least we are lucky enough to live near the border! We pre ordered this time so we got boxes of stuff! Linden has already downed 2 coconut yogurts! And I have had a few of the chocolate dipped vanilla ice cream bars! mmmm....I'm very thankful for this food! :)

This morning was another weird morning with Linden. I'm sure that he knows that if he wakes up at 5:00am he is guaranteed to see James for a bit. When I go in, he hears James and points adamantly to our bedroom. He got up, ate breakfast, then went back to sleep! I sure am missing those full night sleeps. It is amazing how much better a person feels after a full nights, uninterrupted sleep! I never knew just how amazing it was before! haha...ah well, I'm SURE we'll have a full nights sleep again sometime...and I'm SURE we will revert back to sleepless nights too! That's the life of a Mother! And I wouldn't change that for anything!

So after a short morning "nap" we headed out to our favourite summer hangout (well any time of year really) Nana and Gramps' house (after a pit stop at my energy hub=Tim Hortons). We played there a bit...well I sat and drank my coffee and ate a delicious "Amy Friendly" muffin, while Nana entertained Linden! :) Boy am I ever lucky to have them...Then we were off to Fish Trap Creek for a nice walk around and play at the park! Linden loved playing with Gramps at the park :) "again...again" he would go up and down that slide all day! :)

We braved the mall again today since I had to return the hard drive and get a new one. Because of Linden's new found LOVE of the escalators there was no chance of a stroller. But of course, yet again I end up carrying him the better part of the time. We got a new hard drive and then went to Sears (up and down their escalator too)...not sure why I decided to do that but we did it! :) Unfortunately I have a bruised rib or something, so it got a bit tiring holding Linden! We survived though and had a good time over all...

Then it was off to Auntie Lyra, Uncle Jim, and Hudson's house for a BBQ. It is so fun to see the kids together. Hudson is growing so much and is learning more and more! He changes every time I see him! :) The boys shared some "Pooh liquid" -pictures pending...note the 'h'...This was uttered by Nana and it made us all laugh! :)
Linden had a melt down on the way home, just exhausted and hungry I think...the noodles and meat sauce I had prepared for him was a no go! So once I was able to change him and feed him he calmed down a little. He ate two pieces of toast while cuddled in my lap watching...of course "Sesame Beginnings"...then off to bed...
I'm waiting up to get a glimpse of my husband, then it's off to bed for me too! This little guy is AWESOME, but he can sure tucker a Mom out :P

Phase One of Clean The Bergen House COMPLETE!

So today was just another confirmation of how the Lord knows all and orchestrates everything! Linden woke up at 5:30!!!! AM!!!! Which, if you know me...is WAY too early! Of course his Daddy was off to work at 5:45...YUCK!!! :( He was cranky and sleepy but we did our thing. Then he fell asleep again at 8:30 and slept till 10:30! AMAZING (I did too because I was BEAT!). We both woke up feeling refreshed, renewed and in a good mood. Our super hero "Nana" came by with cleaning supplies in tow! It was time to tackle this house, and with her help it made it possible!

It is a difficult thing to try to clean and watch a very adventurous and curious toddler at the same time! He is really into flushing the toilet and taking all the toilet paper off the roll! But, sometimes it's tough to clean while he naps because a vacuum and banging in the next room will wake him. Enter Nana...Linden played with Nana while I could clean, and then I could play with him while she did! It worked out wonderfully!
I got the bathrooms cleaned (FINALLY) and the SHOWER (Angel's singing)...I was pretty sure I'd need the farms pressure washer to get all that soap scum off the shower, but with a little elbow grease and the miraculous Norwex scrubbing cloth mixed with their cleaning paste it came right off! YAY. Vacuuming was done and the floors cleaned too. Laundry and dish washer are on the go, and clean laundry sorted and put away. AH, how amazingly wonderful it feels to have a clean house! I look forward to getting the whole thing finished! :) Wish me luck :)

The Good and the Bad of Summer

We had a lot of fun this morning at the Zoo with my Opa and Mom. We really lucked out with the animals! We saw the bear swimming and playing and the cheetah sat for a picture! It was great spending time with my Opa. Man is that guy in good shape :) He walked around the whole zoo at 89 years old!!! I hope I have those genes in me! I think Linden found it pretty special to have him there too!

I also had to do running around and that is getting easier and harder to do with Linden now that he likes to walk. He is so heavy now! I find that I am carrying him more than before because we rarely take the stroller with us, but then he gets tired or goes too slow! haha

We also had our Harris family dinner tonight. Always nice to see the family, although it had to be cut short because Linden needed to go to bed. He got a rash on his legs again from the yogurt so I guess I'll stay away from Dairy a while longer. He also had a big fall face first onto the tile floor...ouch...his head is a bit bruised from that :( just trying to run too fast...poor guy...he's a tough one though! I enjoyed the visit with family and eating a meal without having to feed Linden too (thanks Mom!)

He only had a one hour nap today so he was really tired at the end of the day, and so am I. I know this must be totally self centered of me, but I never realized just how hard it is on Linden to not have his Dad around to play with. Every time they "reunite" Linden melts into him, giving him the worlds sweetest hug! When we leave he always gives me this look that just breaks my heart...and I know we can't stay. Today was CRAZY at the farm! Every time we looked out the window there were trucks and trucks and more trucks. James started at 6:30 this morning and it is now 9:00 and he's still going. He doesn't have time for breaks or eating...to me, this is inhumane! They are sure lucky to have him though, because no other person would be able to stay sane through all that! I wish that they had someone to allow him to take a break and have at least a half a day off now and then... sigh...

One last whine and then I'm done...I got a external hard drive because I have too many pictures (shocking right?!?) and I have NO idea how to use it! I want to post pics from the day on my Blog (you want that too right?!?) but I can't download them...ugh...I now see I have to 'reformat' it to work for mac....and yet no instructions on how to do that. This is just another reminder of how much I need James to function!!! He is SUCH an amazing Husband and Father I am SURE lucky to have him...it is when he is gone like this that it is extremely evident just how much he does around here!!!!! Laundry, cleaning, playing with Linden, changing diapers, etc...really he IS my Super Man :)

Ah, now this is the life! :)

Although last night was a bit rough, Linden was up for 2 hours and every ounce of my being (and I'm guessing James' too) was begging for sleep! Poor guy, he's fighting an ear infection and has FOUR teeth cutting through! :( I'm hoping this passes too. I am SO thankful that he is such a trouper! He still plays and laughs and eats and runs! He's awesome!

This morning was early...so we snuggled on the couch for a bit watching Sesame Beginnings (classic). Then we looked outside and realized how gorgeous the day was already...yes it was a day to go to the lake! So after a SHORT visit to the farm to see DaDa we packed up and headed to Nana's (with a short detour to Tims!) What a PERFECT day...we walked along the lake and played in the water. Linden loved it and I did too. So much better than white rock because it isn't as busy or as far! Linden also grabbed a cat nap on the way and we enjoyed a nice country drive. After our fun, we headed home for Lunch and a nap. Linden spotted Oma through the window walking to get the mail. It was so cute. He pointed and said "Oma! Oma!" then waved (telling me he wanted to say hi). SO we ran outside to catch her! :) I'm hoping this afternoon will be just as fun!

Sesame Street and Sickness....

Well It has been a while since I last posted because this cold/ear infection has stormed our house! It is so hard to take care of a sick toddler who can't tell you what is wrong! :( I felt so sad for him. He really is a trouper though,and SUCH a sweet heart! He has antibiotics now and seems to be doing MUCH better. If only he could blow his nose!! haha
So here is a recap of some of the events of the past few days.

I had been looking forward to Saturday for weeks because we were going to SESAME STREET! haha Marian bought tickets for the "grandma's" mom and Linden to all go see the show. It was so well done and Linden LOVED it! It was so cute. He just kept pointing and looking at Oma "saying" "are you seeing this Oma!?!?!?!" He danced to the music and clapped along!! It was so cute!!! We left a bit early but he lasted 1.5 hours. In the afternoon we went to visit Megan at her u-pick. Her backyard was beautiful! Shaded with mature trees. There was a nice breeze and she laid out a comfy blanket for Linden to sit on and brought out some fun farm toys. We had a nice chat and Linden spotted a tracktor from across the way. We walked to it and he LOVED it!!!! I think it is in his blood. He's like Uncle Chris that way! :) It was hard to take him away from it!
Linden started feeling worse and had goopy eyes so I took him to the clinic. Sure enough the doctor said his ear looked red and gave us a perscription if things got worse on Sunday...and boy did it...poor guy got a fever and was so shaky...just not himself. We got the antibiotics in him and he's doing much better. My mom (thank goodness for mothers) came over and watch him yesterday so I could sleep (since I wasn't getting much sleep in the night). That was a HUGE help!!!!! I am so blessed!
I have really felt God's presence with me giving me the strength and energy right when I need it! I always remind myself that God will never give us more than we can handle! What an amazing God he is :)

Hot, Tired and Cranky!

Well all of the sudden our cool weather has turned into ridiculously HOT HOT HOT! As most people know, I am NOT a fan of the heat. But I guess it is nice to feel like it is summer! Linden has been a little cranky and out of sorts. He has been having MAJOR meltdowns and temper tantrums...but at least the majority of the time he is such a sweet heart! He has also been more cuddly than ever! I think maybe it is because of his cold. he isn't sleeping well, so that will change his behaviour !

We had a great time in the shade and water today. We played in our backyard and went to Nana and Gramps' house and had a nice family swim! :) It was nice to be with James tonight!

Queen...for a moment

Highlights of the day

AN EARLY MORNING...not a highlight, but seeing James and Linden cuddle in bed while he watched sesame street was heart melting :)

Went to the park with Nana. Linden loved walking in and out of the bars at the "blue pirate park" at Mill Lake.

Swimming with Nana was so much fun too! He had a BLAST! Nana bought him a new life jacket which worked amazingly well and I got a long armed swimsuit so we didn't have to worry about burning. It was here he laughed the hardest all day! Me too actually...it was so much fun. I love swimming and Linden seems like a natural. He already kicks and paddles. It still makes me nervous though to have him around the pool...he has no fear! That makes a Mom worry!!! (check out the video of then and now...of course we didn't get the funnest part on video but it's still fun for me to watch...don't know about you!)

We had a great visit with Maria Olson! She came over and we chatted...it was really fun...Linden was a bit shy and just wanted to watch Sesame Street Beginnings over and over...He is also climbing up onto things (like chairs) really well...oh that reminds me, I had to turn his crib around because he was starting to try to climb out! The high side is to the front now!

Before bed Linden and I went to the farm. He had a fork lift ride with Daddy and ran through the plastic (with the one door closed making Mommy feel better). He LOVES being with his Dad!!!!! Dad is so much fun! He points to the farm when we are at home and when he saw James today walking towards him I clearly heard him say "dada"! It is so sweet to watch the two of them together. We scooped up a basket of raspberries (which he will NOT eat!) and took them home. I started snacking on the way home and then Linden started to feed them to me. Well this was quite fun for him so he just kept going and was sad to stop. It made me feel like a queen for a moment, being hand fed individual raspberries! :)

Another Wonderful Day with My Boy

This morning began with a Tim Horton's delivery!! I certainly have an amazing mother in law! That sure got the day rolling well! Then it was off to the Super Store...(it is always good to go there with coffee already in me!). It was actually not painful at all...in fact, I may even say it was fun! Linden usually has a hard time sitting in a grocery cart for such a long time. I basically motor around as fast as I can then head to the till. It is nice when the person behind me entertains him a little!! I just wish they would help pack up the groceries! It is always such a gong show trying to pack them up, watch Linden and sign the visa receipt! Ah well, we made it!
Then we had a visit at the farm with Daddy and Oma and home for a nap. As part of my project "Clean the Bergen House" I decided to go through all my clothes and get rid of a bunch. He woke up while I was in the process of it...but I already have a bag and a half! ahh, feels good!
We also went to our favourite hang out...the ZOO! I basically let him walk around, which he LOVED I think we spent about an hour there...the time just flew by! It was SO much fun to watch him discover everything!!! Even the littlest thing caught his eye! He now roars when he sees the lions (and the lion statues outside the zoo). He saw something he liked behind a fence and when I said it was time to go by he stopped and gave a fond farewell wave and blew kisses...then walk a few steps, turned back and kissed again. Then we were on our way! haha He also spent a good few minutes running around a tree! (see video) I also thought it was so cute how whenever we stopped at a fence to look at an animal he would crouch down (see picture). All in all it was another great day! We'll see what tomorrow has in store for us! Yawn, I better rest up for it!

Terrible Twos????

Linden is officially in the tantrum stage...full on drama...crying, crumbling to the floor, tears streaming, etc...it's hard not to laugh sometimes because it is so ridiculous! But I know that it is just the developmental stage he's at! Although sometimes I seriously have to think if it is worth it to do certain things because I know the trauma it will cause when it is over!!! These tantrums usually occur when we leave the farm. Either he wants to be on the fork lift or run through the plastic strip things! Really anytime we have to go inside the house after being outside! He just loves the outdoors! A positive to this stage is his ability to be more independent. He will play by himself for longer, which is nice and he's on a pretty good schedule. I think that this summer is gearing up to be MUCH easier than last summer...yes I will be running around after him, but we can do so much more! It is pretty fun actually! Mom said that all us kids went through the "terrible twos" closer to 18months, and he is almost 17 months now! So maybe he's just a little early! haha I am loving being a mom more and more! He really is the best!!! I love his snuggles, hugs and kisses! It really makes it all worth it! :)

My little Baby

Well this morning I decided to take Linden to church...just the two of us! I planned on going for the singing part then leave for the sermon. To my surprise, Linden just sat in my arms. I could feel him totally relax as he ate his snacks and listened to Myron! He fell asleep in my arms and I was able to listen to the whole sermon! It was great! I didn't look great, barely had time to do my hair or dress us up, but I figure God doesn't care about those things and that he'd just be happy to have us there! :)

I'm still fighting this cold...as is everyone else in my family. I have such a long list of to dos...sometimes it just feel so overwhelming you don't know where to start! I'm looking forward to my Norwex stuff coming in...then I can go cleaning crazy! My goal for July is to do a thorough cleaning of my house! All the windows and corners and everything!!!!! It all seems a bit daunting right now...but one step at a time I can do it...and hopefully my energy will be restored soon too! So, if anyone has any cleaning tips, please do share!!!! :)

Chicken Noodle Soup

Today was a pretty great day! We went to the zoo in the morning, which is always a blast! Linden and I love it! The baby giraffe was standing there waiting for us! :) such a treat!
It was a two coffee day, and I'll be off to bed when I'm finished this post.
I made chicken noodle soup from scratch for the family! James, Linden, and I are all a little sniffly....No fun. I hope my soup will work miracles! haha
Linden found his new favourite thing...running through the plastic strip things in the plant. He ran back and forth for probably 15mins! He sure was exhausted!!! It does make me nervous though...we can't do it when cars are driving around! Or else there will have to be three people watching him!
I also did a little more gardening today. I don't have high hopes for my garden, but I do hope that something grows!!! I think the carrots are a flop already, but the beans, peas, and potatoes are growing so far! Today I put in squash, zucchini, onions, and lettuce. I still want to add halloween pumpkins! Linden "helped" me....although he ended up eating some dirt! That's what happens when you turn your back on a 16 month old for even a few seconds! Gross...ah well...it'll probably help with his immune system! I also let him play with his water table which he LOVES but gets so soaking wet!!! Gotta save it for a bit warmer day...I hear that's in the forecast!

In the pictures above you can see the process of Linden getting Daddy to drive him on the fork lift! Please Daddy? If you give me your soother Linden. Okay here you go. Sweet, on the fork lift! Into the freezer...I can turn it back on Dad!
