Easter Egg Scramble

The park behind our neighborhood has an Easter egg "scramble" every year - and this is the second year we've gone! I think it's kinda crazy... just a field full of eggs - no hiding... no seeking - just running and pushing.... but all the kids seem to love it - so whatever! :) We didn't stay too long because it was kinda chilly this year - but here are some shots of the fun that was had by all!! haha!

Waiting for the "fun" to begin...

The field of eggs

Harrison finding the good stuff - the Skittles!

Checking out the goods!

Harrison seems happy with what he got!

Skittles - YUM!

Afternoon snack time... OUTSIDE!!!

There's not really too much to say about this post... the weather has been great around here lately - so we try to spend as much time outside as possible!!! Lately it's been afternoon snack time... always a favorite in our house! :)

He's outside - and he has his strawberries... he's a happy little man!

Just running around like a little wild man!

I don't know what this face is - but it makes me laugh!!

SO stinkin' cute!

I think Bel wanted the strawberries too!! :)

He finished off the strawberries - then moved on to a little bit of popcorn!!

We're just so happy to be sitting outside in the warm weather!! :) YEAH SPRING!

Helping Dad outside!

Corey spent the weekend before last cleaning up the backyard... basically just raking up pine straw and pine cones. Nothing too exciting - but Harrison really wanted to "help" - so Corey got him a little rake and tried to put him to work. Anybody wanna guess how that went? Yeah... not so well! He looked really cute - but really he made more of a mess than he did any help! He had a good time - so I guess that's all that really matters! :)

Doesn't he look like he's helping?!?! HAHA!

Corey's trying to explain something to Harrison... however I think it looks like Harrison is more interested in picking his nose! :)

Hey buddy - I think your rake is upside down....

Watching dad - trying to figure out exactly how to rake!

Yep - definitely picking his nose! I told him that was gross - and he said "no mama - it's NOT gross!" EWW!!!

Trip to the Rome park!

Harrison and I went up and had lunch with Aunt Laura a week or so ago... Chick-fil-a of course!! She was really busy so we didn't get to hang out with her for too long - but Rome has a pretty rockin' park not too far away - so after lunch we went over to the park for some outside fun! Harrison had a great time... the hardest part is always convincing him to leave! It's so embarrassing... he screams like I'm a stranger trying to kidnap him from the park every single time! One of these days the police are seriously going to think I'm stealing a random kid and arrest me!!! Not funny Harrison.... not funny!

Yeah! Playground time!

He loved this big slide!

Wee!

He also loved climbing through the tunnels!

Where to next?!?! :)

I love the look of concentration on his face!

Basket sledding....

I'm not really sure how this started - but one night Corey and Harrison decided it would be fun to sled down the stairs in a laundry basket. I secretly think that they sit around and try to figure out the next big thing to scare me to death... but that's a whole different topic of conversation!! Anyway - I think this is all pretty self explanatory... so here are a couple pictures - and even a video of the whole thing!

Look how excited this kid was...

So happy!

I love this face!

Harrison liked to throw his head back right before he slid down the stairs....

Corey and I thought it was hilarious!

He loved it - I didn't!! I was just sure he was going to hurt himself... oh the joys of being a mom to a little boy! I guess I better just get use to it! :)

Right before I start the video Harrison says to Corey "your turn dad!" haha!

I especially like Corey's response!

Pudding painting!

A couple of weeks ago while it was still pretty cold outside we were trying to find a fun inside activity - and I thought of pudding painting! Harrison had a GREAT time!! It took him a little while to figure out that you could eat the "paint" - and even longer for me to explain that you can only eat the "paint" at home - not at school!!! haha! Eventually he stopped painting all together and just ended up sticking his fingers in the pudding and licking them! Oh well - he had fun!!

It started out very innocently.... just trying to figure it out....

and painting....

Then I convinced him that you could eat it... but he still wasn't 100% sure!

Then he liked it!

and then he made a MESS!

and wanted MORE pudding! :) haha!

Big boy bed!!

When we bought Harrison's crib as a baby we went ahead and bought one of those cool convertible beds. We've been meaning to "convert" his crib to a big boy bed for a while... but honestly we just kept forgetting... oops! :) We finally got around to it a couple weeks ago - and he LOVES his big boy bed! It's basically only about 6 inches off the floor - so while he's getting use to being in a bed we don't have to worry about him falling out! We're so proud of him - he hasn't gotten up in the middle of the night once (hopefully I didn't just jinx us!!)!! Anyway here are a couple pictures from the first night!! :)

A little story time before bed time! :)

Thinking about it....

Yep! He likes it! :)
