At Least He is Honest

More Birthday

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit for Bradley's birthday. There was the party on Friday, but even more fun on Saturday. In the morning we went to the Arboretum and checked out the new sculpture named Xanadu. It is kind of like an igloo made of twigs. See below for a video. (It is the longest that I have ever posted - over 3 minutes, so it may take a while to load.) After dinner, we went on a donut run. Sorry, no video of that.

Earning His Keep

Brad has been doing a good job in helping with the indoor chores during winter, like cleaning the countertops and doing the laundry. Now, we finally have him working on some outdoor chores. Last month, he we was in charge of spotting weeds in the yard, which have now been mostly eliminated. Lately he has been helping to water the grass and flowers. Every Monday, he brings in one of the garbage cans.

Piggy Bank - part 2

Since Brad just had a birthday, I figured it was a good time to empty out the piggy bank. I had been filling it up with change for more than a year now. The results were quite disappointing. There was only about $32 in there. This is far short of the record set by my dad.

The Uno is Dos

Brad turned 2 last weekend. There were lots of gifts. He didn't take too kindly to the clothes. They were immediately tossed in mama's direction in favor of opening the next present. Some of his favorites include the coupe (see video), bubble mower (which is already out of bubbles), and the drawing table.
