Muck & Mud

Last week I took Luke to a Parks & Rec class called “Muck & Mud” – sounded like something that would be right up a little boy’s alley!  We started off by making plaster volcanoes under the park shelter.

Making our volcanoes – we’re at the end of the table (new camera just came from UPS today – so I’ll be back up and running taking our own pictures soon!). Luke is in the green shirt.  Our volcano is currently on top of the fridge – I’ll try and take some pictures when we actually make it “erupt!”

Then we headed over to play in water and mud…

The wading pool was a definite favorite though – couldn’t get Luke out!  He really liked the slide.  He wasn’t as interested in the dirt, but I wasn’t going to complain about that!

He even managed to go down the slip & slide (with some help!) :-)

It was a great way to spend a (very hot!) morning at the park! 

On another note, our friends from Norway were here this past weekend, and they have 2 little boys who are 3 and 5. Luke had a WONDERFUL time playing with them, even though there was a definite language barrier. But I think they managed to get along just fine. Hopefully we’ll have some pictures from the weekend soon and I’ll make another post to share! 

The funniest story I think from the weekend happened Friday morning while we were making pancakes. Luke was getting kind of impatient and running around going “Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes!” He was quite excited about having pancakes.  But as soon as he sat down at the table and we put the pancakes in front of him, he yells, “WAFFLES!” – he wasn’t asking for waffles, I think he was confusing the two. But he was excited for either!
