Little Tikes has a special on the Climb and Slide Castle until 05/13/09; they have it on sale $15 off.

Boo and I have one that we play on every day. It’s sturdy enough to hold both of us and its lots of fun! Boo likes to crawl into the middle of it with his apple slices to hide from me so I don’t take them from him. We chase each other around the it and practice taking turns on the slide. We played with it indoors during the winter but now that the weather is getting nice we’ll be able to play with it outside. It was really easy to assemble, just make sure you read the instructions before you put the slide on.

I give this slide five stars. We’ve had ours for almost two months and it still gets hours of play time every day.

Playing together on our Castle

Mommy says we have too much craft stuff and we have to start using some of it up. I got to do two crafts from my Giant Busy Box. I made a lamb while singing Mary Had a Little Lamb and I made a pizza with stickers and gave it to Daddy as a present when he got home from work. Mommy loves the busy box because it has all the crafts put together and its great for days when we don’t have a lot of time to do crafts.

My Lamb and my Pizza

I know how to play hide and seek; we played it at daycare. Today I taught Mommy and Boo how to play. The first few times I counted and Mommy and Boo would hide and I would go find them. Boo is not a good hider, he would be too noisy and give away where he and Mommy were hiding. When it was Mommy and Ethan’s turn to count I hid under my toy bucket that I had dumped out earlier. Mommy went up front to look for me and Boo came to the playroom. He found me! Not only did he find me he climbed on top of the bucket and sat there. I started saying “Boo move, Mommy help”. What did she do, take time to get the camera! I laughed because it was funny and now that’s the only place that I want to hide.

Here I am!

It has been raining for almost two weeks straight and Boo and I are starting to go a bit crazy in the house. We’ve both been sick so we haven’t been able to go to the indoor playground at the mall. We’ve just been stuck in the house all day. Mommy has let us color a lot but we really want to be outside. Will it ever stop raining? April showers bring May flowers, it’s not April anymore!

We’ve had so much rain that our backyard has another pond

Since its the first day of May we did a flowers craft; using foamies of course! Mommy is trying really hard to get me to do something without foamies but she’s not having a lot of luck; everything we do needs to have foamies or stickers to keep me happy. Mommy has been giving me a piece of paper and a lot of foamies and just letting me stick them on until I get bored with the paper and stick them on the walls. You don’t think she is trying to get rid of them do you?

My flower craft turned out really pretty and I almost did it all by myself! I painted green grass on the page with a paint brush and my Crayola paints. Mommy had to peel the back off of the flower stems because they were too hard for me. She would hand them to me so I could stick them on the page. I stuck the flowers and the sun on and I was done. When we were doing this project Mommy taught me a new song.

Sing a Song of Flowers
(to the tune of Sing a sing of Sixpence)
Sing a song of flowers, flowers all around.
Flowers that are growing, growing in the ground
Flowers of each color make a pretty view.
Red and orange and yellow.
And blue and purple, too.
