Out and about



It's been a busy week in the Jozwiak household and another one to come - so many play dates and family events :) We love it though!!

I have to first mention the turtle because it made a return one morning this week. Jon spotted it at the end of our driveway and it had a stroll around the cul-de-sac and was last spotted on the neighbour's driveway. Was it the same one - who knows?? Sadly I saw another one upside down in the road but I didn't get close enough to identify it :)

Last Thursday Oliver and I went to the Rose Garden in St Paul and met up with some other mums and kids. It's a really beautiful place and we were sitting near a fountain which the kids just loved. Obviously Oliver was the one who managed to get the wettest and was intent on climbing in there but he was unsuccessful!

On Friday it was haircut day for Oliver which was much more successful than last time. He had a lollipop and bear blankie and he was more than happy - even let the stylist use the trimmers!

On Saturday Grandpa Ray had his 60th birthday celebration which was lots of fun. Oliver and Mikayla entertained themselves by playing with a train and a car up and down the driveway! Oliver disappointed Jon by eating my veggie burger instead of any of the meaty food that had been brought in :) He did the same the next day when we had a BBQ at home.

On Monday we went to a play date at Andrea and Ezra's house. They happen to live in a part of Minneapolis that is on the flight path - noisy, yes but so entertaining for Oliver. Every time one flew over he pointed up at it and was quite excited!!

And yesterday we spent the morning at Como Zoo and went to Matt and Jennifer's in the evening. Aunt Pauline and Uncle Keith have been in town from Canada so we all had dinner over there which was lovely. I risked going around the zoo without the stroller and Oliver did really well pretty much walking the whole way. After dinner I had a mum's night out at a friend's house playing Bananagrams - lots of fun!!

This afternoon is an ice cream social at someone else's house and another play date tomorrow morning. And of course it's father's day this weekend so Jon gets to be pampered - just like every other day then - ha ha!!!


I love this pic of my gorgeous boy - he looks very pensive but actually has a mouthful of goldfish crackers!

This is an M&M cookie ice cream which I didn't realise was so big! Oliver picked off the M&Ms and gave them to me :)

Very grown up hair cut! Playing in Grandpa's garden

The fire pit was cold - I promise!!

The training of Oliver continues - this week he learned how to put the rubber gloves on but he isn't tall enough to reach into the sink - soon :))
