Tax Time!!

Well its tax time again, I have put it off long enough and now have had to spend the last couple of days working on getting it together. Might just get it in under the deadline!! Too many other things I would rather be doing. :-)

Brayden is growing like a weed. He is busier than ever and has really been enjoying the WARM weather we have been having. Its been up to 72 degrees here, quite the weather for March. However, we have returned to winter today, its been snowing and blowing all day. Just a reminder I guess that winter isn't completely over. We just wish it would get on with it and dump several inches on us instead of just blowing about it!! It is so dry here that the ground has cracks in it over an inch wide. Roger cleaned off the lawns yesterday just in time for the storm and he saw several cracks in it. Have to be careful to not drop anything of value on the ground, don't know where it might end up...maybe China!!

We have enjoyed eating outside with Brayden in the nice weather. He wasn't sure quite what to think of it the first time, now he just thinks its the neatest thing...he doens't have to come inside that way...what a trade off!! We just take the wash cloth out to wash him up, sit him in his booster at the table and get the food on. Its been great fun to show him lots of things. He still wanders off easily, can't leave him alone tooo long. We have a green hose stretched across the driveway and he knows he's not to cross it...but sometimes the temptation is toooo great, like when the cats cross it. :-) This morning he just wouldn't stop climbing on the toilet, so I sent him out of the bathroom and told him to stay in the bedroom...so he stepped onto the carpet and said "yes, yes" then backed up onto the bathroom linoleum and said "no, no". Obviously this is what I have done with the hose in the yard, one side is yes yes and the other side is no no. He does know, it just doesn' t always mean he stops before stepping over. Most of the time though, it has been a good barrier. Its just when he happens to be following something more interesting that he just HAS to step over it and really completely forget it is there!

Time to get to bed for the night, just a few pics and we will let it do for now. Patience is appreciated from all. As summer gets into swing here, it will be hit and miss, but keep checking, never know when I might have a minute to put stuff on.
