Here fishy, fishy....

I love that Ben is at such a fun age and we can go and do things that he'll enjoy...instead of just sleeping through the entire thing in his stroller. On Saturday, we went to the aquarium in Houston. Ben had such a great time. I really enjoyed watching him walk through the exhibit and ride the train and ferris wheel. He even touched the stingrays. We were all exhausted...so worth it though!

I couldn't get him to look at the camera...too much going on!

Not too pumped about the ferris wheel.

Or the carousel.

HE LOVED THE TIGERS!

He's such a great kid!

The Most Moderate Show on Earth!

The circus came to College Station this past week. It was Barnum Bailey and Ringling Brothers, so I thought it would be legit. And it was...for a one ring circus. :) The place was pretty packed with kids missing their bedtimes and being loaded up with cotton candy...not a good combo. Ben was an angel the entire time. Of course we had to buy him an $18.00 swirly flashlight thing (OH MY GOODNESS!) which kept him occupied.

He had a blast. He would laugh loudly with everyone else, even though he had no clue what the punch line meant. He roared at the tigers and clapped like a champ. The best part, though, was his DANCING. During intermission, the kid showed us some moves!! It was a fun memory and I'm so glad we went.

Best part about the circus!!

Pider Man

Ben loves Spiderman...shoes, pjs, toys, place mats. I was going through his clothes to take out the ones that were too small and came across a couple pairs of gloves that I'd gotten him for the winter. He specifically asked to put on the brown pair. After three minutes, I was able to get his little fingers in there correctly. He went straight to the wall and tried to climb up it. He kept on doing this, and when asked, he said that he was Piderman. How cute is that? He honestly thought those gloves would let him climb up the wall! I don't know why b/c Spiderman doesn't wear brown gloves, but whatever.

Sick day...for the FRIDGE!

I took off work today to wait around for the repair man b/c our 3 y/o refrigerator was broken. When you pay as much as we did for that thing, you'd expect it to work for at least three years, right? Well, we were wrong. $254.17 later, we have ice, water, and the annoying clicking noise is gone. Times like these make me feel like such a grown-up.

Ben stayed home with me and we had such a great day. It's nice to stay home with him when he's not sick. Here are some pics from our fun day.

Daddy's hat...

Growling...

Hiding!

Ben is kind of obsessed with Mr. Potato Head...we have noses, ears, eyes, mustaches, etc. spread all over our house. In the Walmart ad, there is an Easter Bunny Mr. Potato head...he talked about that thing for an hour, I am not kidding. He counted how many were on the page, he designated which one was mine and which was Brian's.
