Sunday Best

Another day, another park!  It seems like we're really hitting it up the park a lot these days, but I'm anticipating lots of 100 degree days this summer so we're playing it up now!  After church, brunch and a nap, we headed to our neighborhood elementary school to play.  Linc loved that they had 3 separate playgrounds.  Beau loved the rocks on the big kid playground and grabbed handful after handful to share with me.  Sliding is still a fave! 

 Beau really wants to slide, but I'm not putting him up at the top and letting him go.  No way!  I just put him at the bottom and let him scoot to the end, then catch him when he slides off.  Perfect - he totally thinks he's sliding!

 After being a great (sharing) big brother and a great (minding) son today, Linc got his favorite treat . . . a banana split!  I might have mentioned previously that when Lincoln's preschool class was studying the letter "B", they had banana splits along with their lesson.  Well, he's hooked!  He gets half a banana split down the middle, one scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of chocolate and a dash of whipped cream --- and a boatload of sprinkles.  I think all he really cares about is the sprinkles, but I'm in support of the whole dessert.  He informed every other customer and employee at the grocery store that he was buying ingredients for his banana split, that he would use a spoon not a fork to eat it, and that he would not get it in his hair.  He also invited the checkout lady to our house to have a banana split too.  Seriously . . . he did!  Then he kept asking why she wasn't coming while he was eating his dessert.

 Beau just isn't big enough yet for the extravagance of a banana split, but he was pretty happy with the other half of Linc's banana and some animal crackers.  After so much playing and snacking, we really needed to clean up in the tub tonight.  They boys got a fit of the giggles after Beau sneezed.  I'm so glad I captured this one tiny second of pure joy. 

We've all had a pretty fun weekend: multiple park visits, yummy restaurants, sleeping late, healthy kids, banana splits, baseball practice, and good behavior at church.  I don't think I can ask for more!!!  Here's hoping our week follows the same trend.
