ECKERTS!!

 On Sept 24th Monkey and I went to Eckert's with the PAT (Parents as Teachers.) It was an early morning and Monkey was not quite awake yet.  His little eyes were still so puffy from sleep!

As sleepy as Monkey was that is exactly how rip roaring and ready to go Grace was.  She was already in rare form that morning and driving Dita nuts.  It was a nice morning a little chilly but quickly warmed up.  By the time we got there Monkey was ready to go!

At first Monkey wasn't really sure what he was supposed to do, but he quickly figured it out taking most of his clues from Grace, who was a 1 woman show.  She jumped right in and started picking apples like a pro and eating them too.  Monkey really tried once he was shown what to do but his little arms were just too short and he just couldn't quite reach those apples.

He quickly figured out a system to get those apples then he had to figure out just how in the heck he was going to get them in that darn bag.  

So we walked around for a little while and picked a few apples and then waited for the wagon to come pick us up and take us back to the playground.  While we were waiting we decided to goof off a little.  Monkey thought Mommy was so funny with an apple in my mouth.  I tried to get him to take a bite but I couldn't get him to quit laughing!

gave tried to get her hands on Wyatt too for a little smoochy smooch but he wasn't having that either.  She tried like hell though I have to give her props for that!  Sorry sweetheart give him a couple of years maybe he will come around!

We goofed around at the playground a little bit until it was time for us to leave.  Monkey really liked the big green tractor that he could climb up in.  He kept playing peek a boo through the little window on the side, sooooo cute!

It was a pretty nice day in all.  The kids had fun and it wasn't incredibly taxing on the parents.  On the way out we tried to get Grace and Wyatt to cooperate in a few cute picture moments, but neither one would look at the camera at the same time, and they kept trying to pick the flowers when we asked them to smell them.  It just goes to show that life is always crazy, unpredictable and TOTALLY unscripted with 2 year olds!!  I did manage a few cute shots of them hanging out on the fence while we were waiting for the bus.
