Fun Monday

Coleman and Spence were invited to a birthday party today at Chuck E. Cheese. It was so nice to be there on a Monday morning. No crowds! They had such a fun time! Before we left for the party I had Coleman sign the birthday card. I usually write out his name on a piece of paper and let him copy it, but today I just told him the letters and he wrote them. This is the best he's ever written his name. I was really impressed with the "m" and "n."

We love you, Chuck E!

This afternoon Spence found a tape measure and they played with it for quite a while. Then Coleman, who was in a creative mood, used it and his Easter basket to create a "crane lift." He enjoyed showing me how it worked. I know I'm his mommy, but I just love how his mind works. I definitely see that he has his Daddy's brains. He's very left-brained! I hope he gets a little of my right-brainedness also though.

Coleman's invention: the crane lift. He tied the measuring tape to the basket, then looped the tape over the banister.
