7.26.10 -- fun in the park

Lucas and I met one of my oldest friends (who I had not seen in over a decade!) today to play at the park. We went to Grant Park, which I had no idea was THE Grant Park from the Beverly Cleary books. Yes, I am a huge dork and I HAVE to go and see Ramon and Beezus, preferably sometime soon. I am pretty sure I read every single book that Beverly Cleary ever wrote, most of them multiple times. Anyway, I had never been to this park before and it was close to Lise's house. Lucas ran wild and enjoyed himself on the playground for a long time and then we ventured over to the water features. They had statues of Ramona, Henry Huggins and Ribsy. The picture above is Lucas riding on Ribsy's back...this kid needs a dog. I really need to get on that one so that we can check it off my 30 before 30 list.

Another highlight from today...I got my stickers from "Bad Mommy Moments" That definitely made my evening. I wish I would have gotten the picture of Lucas throwing a complete temper tantrum over his dinner. What was funny was as soon as I got out the stickers and the camera he quit with the tears. Lucas took a nap from 5:00-6:30 and I honestly didn't think he was going to wake up for dinner, so his dinner is a bit odd...but overall pretty normal for him. He got mad at how I mixed his hot sauce into his soy sauce...some days there is just no pleasing this child. Oh well, what are you going to do?
