Memphis fun.

We had a blast in Memphis. Nate got to see the train in Collierville Square, hang out with all his grandparents, aunts, uncles, visit the farmers market and fight with swords. It was a perfect trip. Nate was wonderful on the ride there and back, I don't know why I was surprised..he's a pretty awesome kid. And he's looking much more like a little boy with his grown up hair cut. I seriously miss the curls, but they'll grow back. Hopefully, we'll be able to visit again soon. 

He found himself a Nate-sized tree to play under. And also a nice rock quarry to dig around in. He just sat there and threw rocks around, having himself a good time.

One man band.

We bought Nate a harmonica. He thinks it's great. And he's adorable when he plays it, just runs out of breath quickly. 

Water gun.

So, we bought Nate some little water guns. It didn't take two squirts before Mufasa knew he was not going to enjoy this. Nate loved shooting Mitch and me. And Mitch and I love making Nate shoot one another. 20 minutes later, Nate is having a ball, Mitch and I are quite damp and poor Mufasa is nowhere to be found. We called him and looked in all the closets. Then we found him, hiding under Nate's crib. He was not coming out until he knew for sure the water gun was gone. But that took awhile because Nate discovered how fun it was to squirt himself in the face and in his mouth. Best .99 cents I've spent in a while. :)

Adorable.

Nate is usually asleep when Mitch gets home. When Mitch went in to check on him tonight, Nate, for some reason was still awake. I went in to see what was taking so long and this is what I found. Too sweet.

Memphis

I asked Nate if he was ready to go to Memphis. He grabbed his bag and the keys and headed out the door. He was excited to go visit all his grand and great grandparents. We had a wonderful time, even though it was such a quick trip. And we can't wait to come back in August.
But I think Nate was also ready to finally head home. He got sick, like always when we go down to Memphis. The humidity just messes with his sinuses. And he missed his Mufasa immensely. He just loves his puppy.

Flour power.

Nate was being very quiet, apparently he got bored playing with the potatoes. This is what Mitch discovered when he looked in the kitchen. Nate covered in bread flour and he was just tossing it all over the place. Nate was having a blast.
