Jennifer's 365 Project

So much mess.

Quinn discovered that a step stool can make for a fun little car that zips around the house, courtesy of parent power.

My parents were in St. Joseph yesterday where my mom gave an all day seminar on genealogy. So they drove to Grand Rapids last night and met us at the mall this morning where Quinn got to run around before it was too busy.
We were done before the mall even opened and headed back to our place to hang out some more.
Quinn had a really good time. So good in fact that he absolutely would not take a nap. He wanted to stay downstairs and keep playing.
Pausing briefly to take in some milk before playing for a little.

Eventually he took a nap and we were able to eat lunch.
But then he was back up and recharged! That kid is like the energizer bunny. He had a really good time and was all tuckered out for an early bed time.

It's snowed the last two days. Not a lot, but enough that the ground is covered and things have a layer of ice on them. So I took Quinn out to enjoy one last day (I hope) before the weather starts to warm up.

Now that he can climb up on the bench (which is also a toy chest) he's enjoying watching snowfall out his window.

Step 1: Remove all items from bench.
Step 2: Climb bench.

I tried showing Quinn he could use the eraser on the chalkboard door.

He kind of used it.

Sort of.

He'll get it eventually.

Now that Quinn can climb up on furniture more easily he's reaching higher and higher for things to touch, including our thermostat.

Some day I'm going to step out of the room for a second and see he's set it to 90 degrees.

It's been a long time since I've had My Little Pony stuff around. These little guys are hilarious, though their eyes are so large compared to the 80s.

I am very amused by this and kind of want all of these things. I would totally wear these things if they were in my size.

I'm going to have to eventually buy this book. Dragons? Tacos? How is this not going to be a cute book?

 Now that everyone is feeling better, we headed over to the east side of the state to celebrate Easter. Grandma Karath had a lot of fun things for Quinn to play with.
 Including a giant bunny!
 He had a pretty good time.
Quinn really seems to enjoy this old stuffed bear my parents have at their house. He played with it quite a bit.
 He ran around like crazy the whole time while at both houses, never really slowing down.
And after a 2 hour nap on the way back home he was refreshed and happy again. He really enjoys the plastic chair grandma and grandpa Oslund got him. It's very easy to pick up and carry around.

It's been one of those evenings...
