Best Weekend!

It really was the best weekend we've had in a long time!  We had absolutely NOTHING planned so we were able to roll with whatever we wanted to do and ended up having a great time together as a family!

Evan continues to LOVE being outside.  However, in recent weeks, he's become a bit obsessive about pushing his vehicles and does not seem to enjoy riding in them.  This would be ok, if he wasn't persistent about pushing them into people's lawns, into the street, and other locations that are prohibited.  So, we were very excited when he started to enjoy drawing with sidewalk chalk, here's a VIDEO.
We spent some afternoon time at Lake Nokomis on Saturday and had a great time!

  Evan really enjoyed swimming with daddy!

He smiled the entire time we were there!

More proof of smiling...

Oops!

And back to his super cute smile.

Evan has always been interested in shoes.  He brings us shoes to wear (even when we already have shoes on).  He will go get his shoes when told because he thinks he's going outside (which is true most of the time).  And more recently, he's been interested in putting on shoes, especially daddy's shoes, here's a VIDEO.

  Here he is trying to get his feet into Jake's shoes. He tried this multiple times this weekend, pretty unsuccessfully.  

Evan became more interested in eating utensils this weekend too.  He especially enjoyed his fork with veggies and fruit, watch a VIDEO here.

We hit up the local wading pool on Sunday.  Evan wanted to go off on his own, unfortunately he's a few inches too short for that (we need to invest in some floaties).  He did love using his watering can on the side of the pool though!

And to end a great weekend, tonight Evan was in the tub playing around and suddenly pointed to the eye of the fish bath mat and said, "eyes."  He immediately looked up at me and nearly poked my eye out pointing to my eyes, and then grabbed his rubber ducky and pointed to its eye!  Perfect ending to a perfect weekend!
