not a fan

 Pink eye...we are not a fan of you in this house.

You make my baby's eye look like this:

You make me do this to his toys (post-sanitizing):

And you make me put drops in his eyes, which he OBVIOUSLY is not a fan of.

We're also not a fan of haircuts.

Well, I guess Kase is not a fan.

 Mommy, however, thinks haircuts make Buddy Boy look SO handsome!

He's also not a fan of his high chair lately.  

He'd much rather sit on his Mickey blanket and have a picnic.

tulip time 2012!

This week Friday night we took Kase to Pella's Tulip Time.  We went last year, but he wasn't too interested in the parade.  I was nervous that he wouldn't do well since it was going to go WAY past his bedtime, but he did great!

First up, a corn dog.  He demanded to hold it on his own.

Then, we tried every means necessary to keep him occupied before the parade started.

"Oh my goodness"

waiting...

and waiting...

Oh! It's the parade!!!

almost here...

SO EXCITED!

The firetrucks were a bit loud!

Waving to the people on the "boats" (floats)

Someone gave him a sucker.  Buddy Boy was covered in a sticky mess in a matter of minutes!

Kase was completely content throughout the entire parade...we were amazed!  It's been a very very long time since we've seen him sit so still!  The future looks bright for our attendance to parades :)

 

farmer kase

 Kase LOVES anything farm related...cows, big red barns, chickens, etc.

We have some friends who recently expanded their family farm to include chickens & pigs, so tonight they invited Kase over for a visit.

And oh boy, Kase had a blast!

Kase had been to the farm previously to see the chickens, and he went right back to loving those chickens!

 

At first he wasn't too sure about the pigs...they were squealy and squirmy.

But after awhile he got pretty daring and close to those pigs!

 

 No...that is NOT mud :(

 Thankfully leaving the farm wasn't too dramatic.

We took off Buddy Boy's clothes, handed him a chocolate chip cookie, and took off!

I think (much to Mommy's distaste) that there will be many more trips to the farm!
