Buffalo Grove Kite Fest

Sunday was gorgeous out and perfect weather for the Kite Fest.  Unfortunately, it was so nice that there wasn't enough wind to make the kites fly!  Nonetheless, we still had fun attending this event and it was nice to spend some time outside as a family.

We started out by making a little "kite" at the tables they had set up.  Connor helped to color, glue and cut his blue kite.  I also witnessed him trying to use a scissors for the first time and he did pretty well!


We walked with our kite over to the grassy area where people were trying to fly kites.

I bought Connor a kite for his birthday specifically to bring to this event, but we didn't even take it out of the car.  We figured we'd do it another day when there was more wind and he could enjoy it more.  But we still sat on the grass and watched some of the others trying to fly their kites.




When we realized no one was going to get their kites up, we went over to the playground and Connor had a blast playing!

2 Year Photos (picture heavy!)

Because it's hard to pick my favorites, I narrowed it down to about 40 of the best ones to post!






























Our Week

Daddy should know better.  I cringe that he let Connor wear socks and sandals to daycare!

Fun in the bathtub!


I had to take a photo to capture Connor dipping his veggie muffin in ketchup.  Gross, but he loved it!


Hanging out in the basement while Daddy fixed the receiver.  We're getting him started early on the Fast & Furious movies!
