A fine day for cream cheese...

Today was a fantastic spring day - temps in the 70s - and we spent the whole afternoon outside. On our way out through the garage Liam stopped by his favorite spot - the recycle bin - and grabbed himself a toy... a cream cheese container. He played with it for several hours. I Am Not Making This Up. Best toy ever - I even got to rake up a ton of leaves and do some weeding! Here are some pics from our day out:

Hey Mom, check out my new toy!


Look, I can put it on my head! That's Summer in the foreground, and our guesthouse behind him.


The only thing more exciting than a cream cheese container is seeing a bird in the sky... whoa!


Giant pile of leaves!


More birds in the sky - he was pointing with both fingers and squealing, but I missed the shot... ah well! He loves anything in the sky... birds, planes... the moon...


Note: if you have good eyes or if you click on the pictures to see them larger, you'll notice the dirt on Liam's mouth. Because, he likes to taste dirt - I think to get my goat. It takes all my Mommy patience to act like I could not care less or say, "Mmmmm dirt!" The first time he did this I (predictably) said "NOOO! Don't eat that!" and if you know toddlers, you know what happened next... yup, he could not shovel it in fast enough. Now that I pretend not to care he realizes all by himself that dirt tastes gross and he moves on to other things. Like chewing on sticks, because hey if the dogs like it - it must be good!
