Is it Time for the Beach Yet?

The McDill family is soooo ready for some beach time. Spring Break cannot get here fast enough. The weather has been just beautiful here. After just a few days in the sun, Christopher's little arms are already tanner than Matt's.

Christopher is currently obsessed with "Daddy's toys." When I left the house the other day, Nana and Christopher were playing in the backyard... when I came home 30 minutes later, they were playing in the basement with all of Matt's old toys that his mom had saved for him! Musty smelling- for sure! Nonetheless, he has been thrilled to play with all of the helicopters, planes and the large bucket of Legos- especially the Lego people. Christopher is learning about space at preschool right now and asked me earlier this week to buy him a Lego astronaut. What just happened to be in Daddy's toys?!?! Not one- but two Lego astronauts!

He got his Citrus Lane box this week, too. In it... his very first wallet. He has $7 in there right now. I think we might have to make a trip to the dollar store soon to see what he wants to buy. (Or maybe I need to teach him a dollar to the church, a dollar in the piggy bank and five for yourself...) That was quite a sad moment when I saw the wallet- I was like WHAT?!?! Mommy controls your money. You aren't ready for a wallet!!! He asked if he could have some "coins" to put in zipper pouch... and then I found them lying all over the carpet. Typical irresponsible boy.

Enjoy the pictures!

This is what Christopher picked out at the Disney store. He loves his "Hiro" mask- some guy from Big Hero 6. I have no idea.

Eating brunch at Dogwood Terrace before our big day out.

Uncle Anthony babysat Christopher this night while Matt and I went out. It was their first night just the two of them. Anthony brought Christopher's favorite dog with him.

Celebrating Dr. Seuss Day. (2 teachers' kids for sure!)

Playing soccer with his buddy, Luke.

The boys were wild together!!!  Poor Ms. Jeanne.

They had so much fun yelling to each other, chasing each other... and telling one another what to do.

I don't know who in the world decided to bring and start the whole "cupcakes during reception time after church" but I would like to give them a piece of my mind.

Playing with Nana in the playroom.

Pretending he is Jake. Christopher likes to be Jake and Handy Manny.

 

Taking in his view of the Notre Dame baseball game.

Our little lucky leprechaun!

 

Have a great rest of the week.

Be kind. 

 

 

Happy March

I cannot believe it is March already? I feel like just yesterday I was working my way through the 25 Days of Christopher! :) That also means that Christopher will be 3 very, very soon. WOW.

Christopher is still totally into playing and pretending right now and thank the Lord, he plays so nicely by himself. He will get all of his little toys and pretend they are different people and give them voices and I especially love when he makes one of them say things that Matt or I say a lot. My favorite is "Hey- check this out."

Enjoy the pictures!

This was Christopher's Valentine's present. Could he have been any more excited?!?!

So Matt got PS4 and Christopher LOVES to watch him play this motorcycle game. If you want him to clean up fast, you say... Daddy will play the motorcycle game. ZZOOOMMM! The room is clean. Anyway, he lined up all of these toys like this and I asked what he was doing- and he said he was making a track for a motorcycle. So clever, right?

Nana and Christopher playing hockey. Poor Nana always gets the bad jobs.

Chowing down. These apples were the size of his head. 

What do you do when it snows and you don't have to go to daycare??? You invite over your friend from daycare. :) Austin said, Christopher- what's this? Christopher said, Here let me show you. 

Throwing snowballs at mommy and granddaddy through the window.

Finally getting to play in the snow! The boys had so much fun throwing snowballs at each other and going for boogie board rides.

Christopher had to get fitted for his ring bearer suit this weekend. We went with Uncle Anthony so that he could do it first and Christopher could watch. Then we went to Uncle and Sara's house and he got a new thing of Legos! It was like Christmas. :)

Sunday we went and saw Paddington Bear. I can't say it was a great movie, but it wasn't too terrible. Christopher was awesome during it... but then again, I can't say the other kids in the theater were.  :)

And some videos...

A and C's great table conversation.

just some good ole farting (facebook video!)

That's it- have a great week! 

Be kind.
