Spring...It's coming!

Lukas here.....just thought I would catch you up on the goings on!!!

Daddy started training for a new position at his job this week so I had to get up REALLY early to get to gmas house! Pluto was ready for breakfast when we got there so I let him have breakfast first!!

Last week when I came up for a visit we saw a couple of deer near the creek and I wanted to show Minnie where they were!! Sadly they were not out there today! :(

I asked gma if it would be OK if I played in the sink again. This time I brought in some more things to play with.

Some of those things were really interesting to look at. We talked about things that float and ones that sink! I did find that the little lids off a contact case will suction onto the overflow drain holes and cover them up....gma said this is not a good thing....something about too much water in the sink!!! heheh

Who would have thought that a sink full of water would be so much fun!!

Ummmmm...... yea about grabbing the faucet?!?!
It is possible that it made a little bit of a mess!!


I got a little wet in the process.......so gma suggested that I throw my clothes in the dryer!
Being as safety conscious as I am, I had to make sure that the lint was removed from the screen so I wouldn't have to worry about a fire!!

I think that is good...so I put it back in the dryer!

Then it was time to get my sock off....gma suggested it might be easier if I sat down on the stool, but I have my own technique!!
It does require a great deal of skill and balance so, only remove your sock this way if you are as flexible and talented as I am!!

I made sure everything was placed exactly where I wanted it to be.

One more piece of wet clothing and I could start the dryer....this is where a little modesty comes into play....luckily the dryer door supplied just the right coverage!!! :)

So a quick change of clothes and it was already lunch time.....Look what gma put on my fingers.....

......Yummo(in the words of Rachael Ray) raspberries!!!

From now on I think, I will always eat them this way! It was pretty cool!!!

I will admit that I took a little snooze after all that fun and getting my belly full.....

It was a REALLY beautiful day outside, gma said it was something called spring.....if that is what it is called I am all for spring. Because it was way more fun to be outside today than on those really cold days we have had lately.

Some of the snow piles are almost gone and man are they dirty, but of you dig down there is still some good white stuff to eat!!

I was a little concerned about the size of those piles of snow that were left so I decided to put some back on the driveway for gpa!!

Gma and I were outside for the rest of the afternoon and we walked all around...gpa put some corn out for the deer in hopes that I may see them again....I really don't see what all the hoopla about this corn is to them...I thought it was YUCKY!! (not to worry gma really didn't let me eat any!)

We went behind the house and watched the water running in the creek...and I got to throw in some small stones and acorns. I learned that somethings float and some SINK! Carrying on those lessons learned in the house!

It didn't take long and all my acorns were gone so we went for a little scavenger hunt to find some more!

I thought for sure there would be some on this little branch....ummmm NO!

Finally, I spotted a whole pile of them.....I hollered a to gma......"I FOUND SOME!!!"

And off I went!

And just as I was reaching down to get those ACORNS gma startled me by YELLING.... NO!!!!

.......and then something about deer poop!!!!

LOL, how was I supposed to know, it's the first time I had ever seen it!!

And please don't worry I dropped it quick and gma washed my hands!!

Well back to the rocks...gma said they were a little less stressful on her!! :)
That one made a really big splash!

Yup..I do still like to carry around sticks!!

The sun melted all the snow on the slide....I was glad....although I think mommy may have to wash these pants extra good this time!!

Time to head up to the house!!

More water....that must be the theme of the day!!!

YUP, I guess it is.....

This deck is really in need of a good scrubbing, but I really didn't have time for that.....and it is still a little chilly so I just gave it a little sprinkle to get the surface dirt off!!

Gpa rode his bike to work today and I was outside waiting for him when he got home!

I had soooooo many stories to tell him, especially about the POOP.....what can I say I find it facinating!!

Anyways, gpa told me that he had found some antlers in the woods and asked me if I would like to see them....HECK YA!!!
He was showing me how the deer sharpen them on the trees.....so cool!!

All in all it was a fun day.....I really like all the outdoor time. In fact I went home and really slept good this night!

FYI....if you run into me sometime soon I just may tell you ALL about the deer POOP!!!
