Fun filled weekend

We had a very fun weekend. It wasn't super busy but we did a lot of activities that Kendall really enjoyed. The weather here has been terrible lately. Its been cold and rainy and cloudy. Friday turned out to not be too bad out so we took advantage of it and went to the river park to walk around. My intentions were to eventually get her down to by the river to play in the water a little bit but she had other plans. It is a kind of a dog park although there are toys and paths to walk on but there are also big grass areas people take their dogs to run around. I am not sure if I have mentioned this before but Kendall LOVES animals, especially dogs. We were walking on the path just taking our time and i was letting her set the pace and we were just having a good time. The first set of people with a dog came and went and she just kind of pointed at it and kept going. The next dog we saw was way across the field and she took off after it and followed it around until we saw another day. She had to stop and pet them all (if their owner was willing to let her and depending on the dog). This lasted for about a half hour and when she wanted to be held instead of walk is when I decided it was time to go.

Jason had to go to Billings this weekend for their last "season" football game so after the park we went to hang out with him for a little bit before he had to leave. They won and are the Montana Division Champions and now its off to playoffs....their first game is also the same day we have a wedding to go to so there is a slight scheduling conflict we have to work out.

Anyways back on track. I find that on weekends i think Kendall spends more time sleeping then she does awake, it's like she has to recover from her week at school. Saturday was pretty yucky out so when she wasn't sleeping or eating we just stayed inside and played and went to the grocery store. After she went to bed I watched We Bought a Zoo. It was really cute, if you haven't seen it i recommend watching it.

Sunday was the fun day for us. I had seen a toddler sensory activity on Pinterest with letting them play with dried beans. I got a bag when we were at the store and let her play with them. She would scoop them with a measuring spoon and pour them into a cup and on the floor. She would pick each individual one up and put it back in the bowl.

 She is starting to warm up to her glasses some but it is still a struggle to get her to keep them on.

After her nap and lunch it was really nice outside so we decided to paint, which i have wanted to do with her for a long time. She was so excited to be outside that we didn't paint for very long but she had fun sticking her hands in it and getting all messy. She even managed to paint on the dog. He has a very colorful hand print on his back.

 I didn't want her to paint without clothes on cause it wasn't that nice, so i just put some older clothes on her. She did try eating the paint and thought it was pretty disgusting.

After painting we went on a 4wheeler ride up and down the driveway and around the field in the backyard and through the ditch water. She ate an awesome dinner. Jason came over and after a long weekend of him being out of town she was really happy to see him and we played with bubbles on the back porch. She learned to say bubbles, and is now repeating it like crazy. She is a chatterbox and is starting to form more words, you can actually tell the difference between daddy and doggy now. She can say baby and when you tell her its dinner time she says yummy and runs to the kitchen. She is at such a fun age right now we are doing a lot of activities and she is learning soooo much it is crazy!

Just got another scheduling conflict for the 16th, i was just invited to a candle party on the 16th, so now there is a wedding, a football game and a candle party. I think I am sending Kendall camping with my parents that weekend.
